Works fine here. Ditto with the two I bought without RAM. Note that the motherboards and CPUs are pulls (used.) They did install new cheap-o "ball bearing" fans, but on one of mine the rotor had popped out and was floating around inside the motherboard's static bag. Taking the fan (further) apart, I saw what looked suspiciously like sleeve bearings on the shaft, but I'm no fan expert. NECX currently has new unopened PR440FX's with SCSI in their "outlet center" for $119, plus $5.95 S/H. I've had good luck buying close-out (and new) stuff from them. http://necxdirect.necx.com/cgi-bin/auth/ifilelnk_q?key=0000125069&nonce=guest Of course, any P6 CPUs you find will likely be pulls, nowadays. (Unless you want to spend $500+ on a "Pentium Pro OverDrive". Bet Intel sells a ton of those...)
