Upgrade options on 1850
over the weekend my proliant 1850 refuse to post. I suspect either the
motherboard or CPU. So now I have a good excuse to upgrade the mobo/CPU (PII or III, 500Mhz) which leads me to my question...what are my upgrade options? And does the mobo uses a common form factor? Thanks Scott |

Thanks Scott That was the last generation of that style board, If the old p2 cpu's are in the unit now, new (higher current) vrm's and some switch settings will enable you to go to p3 500, 550 or 600. I have a bunch of vrm's and 500's and 550's if needed. If the board came with P2 cpu's the batteries are on their last leg too. |

I have a 500 PIII as evident from my message file: kernel: CPU: Intel Pentium III (Katmai) stepping 02 If you have a couple of vrm's and 550's I can use them. How much are you willing to let them go for? |
