Intel SE440BX-2 motherboard (check the revision, the news revs of the board seem to work better) 2 or 3 Intel 82577 Pro100/B NIC Cisco 16MB PIX Flash card (or the Cisco 2 meg Pix flash card) Floppy drive Case/power supply 128MB DRAM 350MHZ Processor w/ 512K cache
I took this info from a post on securityie.com Anyway I am running on a P3-450 and 128 meg of ram. I tried other motherboard (ASUS) and the thing would not work. As soon as I used this motherboard, it came right up. I had a spare 2meg flash from a Pix upgrade I did and that is what I am using. Of course you can't run the latest Pix OS on it which kinda sucks. I don't have the $700 to fork over for that card. I did nothing to the bios on the motherboard. It came right up and worked. I hear you can change it to boot up from NET, but I think I will leave it alone (since it is working). One thing, do not try to buy this board from www.edgemicro.com. I have been waiting 3 weeks so far for the board I ordered from them. I finally ordered from another place in Texas and got it in 3 days. I ordered from www.directron.com Here is a link to the Motherboard. http://www.directron.com/mb-intel-bx2-na.html Hope that helps some, Don Hickey > On Friday 26 April 2002 08:03 pm, you wrote: > > Well I received the motherboard and everything came right up.
