Upgradeware Tualatin adapter failed!

[ritesh_laud]

For any of you running a Pentium 3 system and thinking about getting a Tualatin to run in your old board, think twice! This is the second Tualatin adapter to fail on me. The first was a Powerleap adapter that failed in five days. This Upgradeware 370GU adapter died after running fine for about three or four months. My motherboard is an Abit BX133. Stay away from Powerleap and Upgradeware is my advice!!! Could be something funny with my mobo but I doubt it.

Hmm, could yours be one of the Abit board with the capacitor problems?

here's a quick answer. your motherboard is not on the list of compatible models

this would cause most of your problems. i have had an upgradeware model for almost 9 years on a tyan s1854 and it still works great
