Ok. I have been slowly going through my large supply of legacy pc parts, putting some items up on ebay as I go. I figured on anything that could be used for DOS-Windows 98 specifically I would list here prior though since there is a Windows 95-ME area on the forum and some interest in this kinda stuff. First off I am going to list 3 of my Socket 7 motherboard/AMD K6-2 and K6-3 combos since socket 7 stuff still retains soem value and interest among Dos box builders.

Later today or tomorrow I will update this thread with graphics, lan, and sound card parts also. Also, please be aware, all the cpu/motherboard combos listed will just be for the cpu and motherboard themselves. I will not be including any ram or heat sink. You can use Pc-100 to 133 ram on these boards fine, and I do have plenty of both for sale in 64 and 128 mb stick sizes dirt cheap. You can get cpu coolers off of ebay. Most smaller socket A and socket 370 coolers will work on these boards fine. All the boards and parts I sell are fully tested and perfect working with no blown caps, but sold AS-IS. I will ship insured against postal damage however. All jumper settings will be preset on the motherboards for the cpus that are installed, so you will not have to fiddle around. Payment via paypal only, no echecks, and shipping to the USA and Puerto Rico only.



First up are two micro ATX socket 7 boards that can use normal ATX power supplies and fit in standard ATX cases. They both have onboard audio and video. Board #1 comes with a K6-2 400mhz cpu. This board has pci and isa slots. Board #2 is basically the feature wise, however, I have a K6-2 450mhz cpu installed that is down clocked to 400mhz. The reason is is that this board will not support this cpu at 450. If you try to set the ratio jumpers around to do so it will just oc the cpu or underclock it more then 400mhz depending on what you set it to. When they made the board they simply didn't have the K6-2 450 in mind lol. Set to run at 400mhz it works perfectly fine though, so no big deal. 400 mhz is plenty fast for Dos and most older games prior to 99 anyway. Both boards are each $25 shipped, OBO, to anywhere in the USA, to PR I will have to get your address and get you a total price due quote.

Third up is a pretty rare Epox EP-MVP3G2. A review to this board can be found here. and here also. I have a AMD K6-3 400mhz cpu installed on this one. The K6-3 400mhz was the cpu that handed the Pentium 2 its ass in 3D Now optimized games. The EP-MVP3G2 was one of the best Socket 7 boards made. It had many bios options and a full blown AGP, PCI and ISA layout, and with fan speed and cpu temp monitoring. Basically a board that during its time offered god crushing power compared to most other Socket 7 boards. It uses normal ATX power supplies and fits in standard ATX cases. If you want a full sized decked out Socket 7 board, this is it. Because this one is a bit rare, the price will be $35 shipped, OBO, to anywhere in the USA, to PR I will have to get your address and get you a total price due quote.

Sound cards and graphics cards would be $8.00 each shipped to anywhere in USA. Lan cards and raid card are $6.00 each shipped to anywhere in USA. Ram sticks are $5.00 each shipped to anywhere in USA. I pretest all ram I sell via Memtest 86+ for a good 30 min run to make sure its solid before I sell it.

Also, if buying a motherboard, a graphics card or sound card would just be $4 extra each, Lan card $3 extra, and ram stick $2.50 extra on top of the motherboards price. As you can see, I have enough PCI, ISA, and ram stuff to get all three motherboards up and going. If you need to build a DOS system, you'd be able to score all the core parts from me. Supply your own case, power supply, cd-rom drive, and hard drive and you would be set.


As you can tell, I overly prepared for a parts shortage for building Dos boxes. I still have some Slot 1, Socket 360, Socket A, and Slot A stuff too, but that will be for another day I think, depending on if any of the above I listed sells here or not first. I am trying to free up some room and just save a little bit of stuff I know I will need later, and I have a closet full of parts to go through, a little at a time.
