Hi guys, my wife's pc died last night... opened it up today, and the diagnosis was bad capacitors.. doh! Anyhow, I have 2 Pentium III chips, one 1.ghz coppermine and another 1.13 ghz tulatin chip, and need another board. Anybody know where i can get one cheap or have one of these things sitting in their junk pile??? 
Any ideas welcome :P

Newegg still sells a socket 370 board for the Tualatin chip. Clicky!

Sigh......bury it! Move on. EBay -Prescot 3.0 on 800 bus, box, crappy power supply all for $349 Canadian.
How can I say that about your wifes fine machine....I just junked my 1.13 ghz Tulatin for said EBay machine! Did I notice a difference? Well......to burn a one hour DVD on the Tulatin takes only 8 HOURS and 35 minutes!!!!! With the Prescot 2 hours and 13 minutes. You bet I noticed a difference.
But if you must...go to EBay for a new/used board. 133 memory is dirt cheap, as is all the other parts. Happy GHzing!

Work has been bad this year, downsizing and such, i'm lucky i got to keep my job, except i'm not working a full 40 anymore. Gonna have to wait till next year to buy the wife a new pc

If $55 is out of your Price range, just post a WTB in a local newsgroup. I picked up a Dell 4100 (1 ghz p3) system for $15 that had everything except the HD. I too was replacing a MB that had a P3 coppermine chip in it. There were problems with capacitors on some BX based motherboards in the late 90s.
