 |
|
I found these motherboards in two discarded PCs (they work OK)
The first one is a PCChips M789CG. The "XP 2000+" CPU is actually a VIA C3 Samuel 2 running at 800 MHz.
The second board is a PCChips M787CLR, the "1GigaPro" CPU is a C3 Samuel 2 at 667 MHz. |

I don't think it's a fake, just trying to make it appear as having Xp 2000+ horsepower... in Office use 
Kinda lame, but cutting prices on tight budgets could be a good guess.
Going to check, interesting. |

I like that little FlexATX board  I have a cluster computer that uses a high-end s370+raid board, and has 2 little FlexATX Brookings boards stacked above it Those boards are getting harder and harder to find.... |

yikes. AXP 2000+ is probably 3-4x faster.
This reminds me of a crap Duron board I ran into, with the CPU soldered on. And a Walmart-bought C7 system too. |

PCChips and ECS always made a crap. You propably bought board with AMD 1500+ with Duron 700 or 2000+ with 900 MHz. Durons were great CPUs but in time when they ware new at markets not some years after as soldered on crappy boards

Clearly!!
The BIOS POST screen cryptically says only "1.3" at the top- An indication of BIOS overclock... from 800MHz to 1.3Ghz I think |

Oh man I am so peeved... In my endless persuit for a good set of heatsinks for my board (Found em... A triplicate of GOLD anodized ones from Gigabyte boards, 3 different sizes)... I manhandled my board to death :-C
Good thing I only paid $5 for it!!! But I had such high hopes for it!!!
If anybody is getting one JUST for the '1.2Gigapro' processor... I'd love to trade, so I can put it to use! |
