Hi All,
    Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post, but if people can offer 
giveaways here, then I thought begging would be alowed too.

    I have just aquired a second hand motherboard and want to get it 
working, but don't want to spend a great deal of cash on it. The motherboard 
is a P4M266A-MLV and I am not sure how old it is, but it isn't new, and as 
such doesn't run (need) the latest and greatest stuff. I just want to get it 
working, so if anyone has a second hand Socket 478 Pentium or Celeron 
processor (up to 3.06 Ghz) and a couple of sticks of DDR200 or DDR266 
unbufferred DDR SDRAM DIMM 2.5v RAM they don't need, then I can probably 
take it off their hands. The specs are straight out of the motherboard 
user's manual.

If anyone can help, please contact me off list. I live on the northside, and 
I am finding it a bit hard to get to the meetings lately because I work 
shift work, but I am willing to travel or meet somewhere. All reasonable 
offers considered, but as I said I don't want to spend a huge amount of 
cash. I can get new stuff from Gamedude, but I am trying to avoid that 
experience if possible.

Finally, if anyone has any experience running Linux and/or BSD on this 
motherboard, your comments would be apreciated also.

    Thanks in advance,
        Andrew.
