A beautiful but flawed board:

MSI MS-6168v2
i440BX
uATX
Slot1
Voodoo3 8MB AGP onboard
2x DIMM

Re-capped (large caps by slot had failed). Supports CuMine. Boots at 133MHz FSB, but stable at 100MHz.

But...

Something's wrong with the Voodoo or - more likely - its memory. In both 2D and 3D mode it artefacts all over the place. Most likely one or more of the SGRAM chips needs re-flowing or replacing. Unfortunately my SMD soldering skills/equipment aren't up to the task, so rather than throw it away or leave it to collect dust here I'm offering it for someone who thinks they can fix it.

Asking EUR 25 sold to bloodem

Shipping depends on location, board is located in EU (NL), shipping in EU EUR 10-16, elsewere EUR 20 or more.
