I just dug up the machine that I had from 1998. Man, I loved this computer, rock solid, ran cool, a little loud, but worked great.
AMD K6-2 550mhz
PCChips PM-585LMR Motherboard:
-Onboard Lan
-Onboard Video
-Onboard Sound
-USB
Maximum supported RAM: 768MB (I think one of the 3 slots is dead)
It's even the board that has the VIA GRA chip.
I've been able to get it to post, and start setting up Windows 2000 Pro SP4 since I cannot find all of the supported Windows XP Pro SP2 drivers. That and it would run much faster with Win2000.
I've loaded it with 512MB ram, since I can't utilize the 3rd slot, and the maximum size PC100 ram I have is 256MB.
Thrown on a DVD/CDRW combo drive, Antec 350W PSU, and a WD100GB HD.
Sadly, after finally getting the configurations right, and going through the ram, I started to install windows but to no avail... The HD is shot and cannot be recognized by even the WD Lifeguard tools.
That was my last spare IDE drive. 🙁 Now I have to find one or trade out for one. 😛
