When South Bridges Go Bad
Sat, 2007-03-31 19:02 — MichaelA couple of years ago I upgraded my computer, and passed the old one on to someone else. I'd had it for over 5 years — a reliable old Pentium III 733EB plugged into a Soyo 6VCA Slot1 motherboard via a slocket (Slot->Socket converter), with 64MB of PC133 SDRAM and a 20GB Maxtor HDD. Over its lifetime it had gained another 512Mb of RAM, Sapphire Radeon 9000 64MB graphics card with VIVO, a slot loading Pioneer DVD drive, a network card, and a couple of other extras — and that's only the internals.
