. . . just looked through a few old parts boxes, and I found a K6-III 333 and a 128mb PC100 module. The K6-III is a known-good part. The 128mb module was good, but hasn't been tested in quite a while. If you want to give them a try, you're welcome to them. Just drop your address in a PM (PC Mech "private message") & I'll drop them in the mail - if you're somewhere on the N. American continent. I've been in the process of giving these away, and helping to fix and donate computers to the local schools -- even the elementary schools won't take the Socket 7 systems anymore (it's PIII and up nowadays for donations). If you decide to try the K6-III, be sure to look at the "Upgrades" link on the page that glc posted: it will help you set the jumpers on the motherboard to get the most stable setting. You'll learn a lot in a hurry upgrading that system. If I find another PC100 module in the meantime, I'll send it along too.
Just curious, is your EDO memory in four Simm slots, or might you have some of the rarer EDO DIMM modules in DIMM slots? . . . and does the board have four SIMM slots (the standard M571) or just two DIMM slots only (the M571 LMR - which often has the "Win-modem" in the tiny AMR slot). My wife had an old M571 LMR system years ago - it's still going, running Barney and Sesame Street "edutainment" titles at a local preschool.
