Un día como hoy en la tecnología:
El 27 de septiembre de 1999 se lanzaron al mercado, los procesadores Intel Pentium III 533B y 600B que operaban a 533 y 600 MHz respectivamente. El sufijo "B" indicaba que tenía un FSB (Front Side Bus) de 133 MT/s, en lugar del FSB de 100 MT/s de los modelos anteriores.

Hmm... For some reason, #Links2 is really slow at SSL negotiation with #OpenSSL 3.0.13 on this #PentiumIII with next to no memory... It was fine with 1.1.1t!

Cagontoloquesemenea quien me manda a mi mirar el manual de servicio del #toshibatecra8100 (la pila CMOS esta morida y queria saber x ande para... De momento se queda morida 🤣).
Descubro que la CPU es intercambiable.
El mio tiene un #pentiumIII a 600MHz el bicho admite de 600 a 850.
Estoy tentado. 🥺

This pizza box style case is really appealing for a permanent setup. I wanted to use it with a different mobo so I could leave it out and ready for gaming vs. a clunky tower. But... it has a proprietary riser card, and that won't be compatible with other motherboards.

If that riser had an AGP slot, I'd probably use this mobo. Sadly, that's needed for my Win 98 build.

I might turn it into a sleeper DOS machine, though. :)
