What to do with this motherboard?

[Misty]

My wife and I are doing a clean up and in one drawer found a motherboard, with integrated graphics, in its box, which certainly looks brand new. Cannot remember the story. Probably too old to be of use? It is an ASUS K8V-VM. Tried to get info from the web that I could understand. One thing I think I saw was mention of ME, which if I recall correctly was the Windows Millennium Edition. Presuming so, then too old to be of use? Maybe just give it to "Abilities", here on the North Shore for recycling?

Apart from the fact its old hardware, and the only drivers on the site are for either XP or Server 2003 (newest), you could still use it, the biggest problem would be getting a CPU and/or memory to fit.

You could always install Linux (may have to be an older version) and possibly use it as a NAS or storage device. or even XP and do the same.

Too old....CPU is history.
Sure Linux would handle it, but really?

Even in this Linux household we have far newer (and more powerful) hardware.

Ditch it.

i think its still useable. if someone wants an basic pc. its pcie so still can get useable parts. catch is its not worth much.
chuck it on TM, maybe someone wants its to replace a dead one.

Shame its AMD

If it were Intel I know a use for it, and have plenty of Older CPU's that will work. The CPU is the sticking point - Obsolete now.

Does it work? I like that it has a PCI-E slot. I have CPUs that would fit...

An e-waste recycling center will responsibly break down the motherboard and safely dispose of the parts that contain toxic waste.

Ha! That's what they want you to think.
