ASUS P2B Restoration: Board #3 - Native Coppermine Support with Mod!
The third P2B is going through the restoration process today! This board is very similar to the previous board - the ASUS IC is badly corroded and many traces and vias need to be cleaned. Surprisingly, there were no broken traces anywhere on the board. In each episode, I try to provide some extra detail aside from the restoration process - and today, we will look into a mod that may give the P2B native Pentium III Coppermine support!
