Just a hint on the CPU: If it does not HAVE to say "450" or "500" on the heat spreader, ask or look for the K6-III 400 ATZ.
Those used to sell NOS for a dime a dozen, for some weird reason.
And apparently, they're quite "flexible" because they were mass produced for the b2b market in a late stage when yield was trivial actual rating less important, so they simply labeled them all 400s.
AMD war also very cautious not to spoil the retail market for the new Athlon in those days, so the chips were literally "underrated".
Nameplate says 1,6 V so you're probably going to overvolt it quite a bit anyway, default was 2,2 V, rarely a S7 Mobo that offers below 2, I think.

Congratulations on finding that FIC board, that's supposed to be a truly good one that still eludes me. Btw:
ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/motherboard/manual/socket7/va-503+
- those guys keep a truly remarkable archive for their legacy stuff...

Tnx for the heads up on that. FIC kept good records, so does asus btw (dled numerous manuels my s7 boards including bios updates)

 

[user18077]

Still need everything, the motherboard I bought was a piece of scrap.
