I look forward to this segment every week thank you starts my weekend😊

The amazing thing today is that both machines have a VIA ProSavage on board. The IBM server had it on a separate chip, the KM266 had it integrated on the motherboard. I do not recall seeing any savage, neither S3 nor VIA vintage, on your channel before :)

[chrishartley]

I think the reason for the high value of the AM37 motherboard is simply this: there were absolutely loads of Athlon XP chips around because they were better and cheaper than anything Intel were producing at the time. Unfortunately at the time of its release it was right in the middle of the capacitor plague.
The result is that most of the motherboards were scrapped which leaves a glut of processors looking for a home. This also explains the low value of the processors.

[hueinismo]

yes please, test transformer for current.

[chrishartley]

The unknown chip on the server board, RCC-NB6635-P03? How many do you want? I found numerous places selling them but not a single description of what it actually is.
It was made by Server works which is now Broadcom. RCC is an identifier used by them. I would guess that the next part, NB, is the giveaway that it is exactly what you would expect for a chip in that size and location, a northbridge.

When visiting the States, please inquire about "car booty"

[pcfred]

Click of death HDD had a nice beat. You could dance to it.

Heya, the 1st MB is ibm very good company only differant pcb set up. 2st nice board see if you have a differant cpu for it with a nicee cpu maybe will be better

[Starchface]

We have picture! I can't believe. I was not expecting the IBM to boot at all.

[jonathaningram]

May be instead of binning cards cut the contact pins off and bag them up, after all it's gold!

[numan]

you said lets have a look at the otherside, it wasn't actually the other side it was the back

[tenlittleindians]

You get enough computers at boot sales. Rather than selling them you could setup a bit coin mining farm.

[jjqformerlyjailbreak]

64 bit pci slots looks to be an old server board.

[aurthorthing]

I've been surprised why you don't look at more AMD's?

[jonathaningram]

That's a good relic 1st one. Does anyone know why back in the day an intel P3 with 16 meg ram could play Quake II flawlessly, yet My I5 4th gen 16 Gig ram with Nvidia GTX 750 ti can only manage 6 frames thus unplayable?

[mealot]

Pretty cool server board but just as useless. No consumer software like games could make use of more then 1 core at a time.

[sherlockholmes]

Maybe you are getting older Richard, that could cause them to go up in value
