Greetings, digital archaeologists and retro-computing enthusiasts!

Up for grabs is a quintessential piece of computing history from the turn of the millennium. If you’re looking to relive the "Willamette" era or need a specialized test bench for early 2000s hardware, this Socket 423 starter kit is your golden ticket.

This bundle features the infamous RDRAM (RAMBUS) architecture—the high-octane, heat-shielded memory that defined the early Pentium 4 power user experience.

The Hardware Stack:

• CPU: Intel Pentium 4 1.4 GHz (SL4WS, Costa Rica). This is the "OG" P4 on the 423-pin grid array.

• Memory: 128MB of Samsung PC800-45 RDRAM (2x 64MB Modules).

• Termination: Includes two (2) Continuity RIMM modules (CRIMMs). Remember: In the world of RAMBUS, empty slots are a "no-go." These are required for the system to POST!

• Cooling: Original AVC high-airflow fan and heavy-duty aluminum heatsink.

• Motherboard: ATX form factor featuring the Intel i850 chipset. It boasts 5x PCI slots, 1x AGP 4X slot (perfect for that GeForce 2 or 3 you have laying around), and a legacy-friendly layout.

Technical Specs for the Geeks:

• FSB: 400 MHz

• Voltage: 1.75V

• Core: Willamette

• Memory Speed: 800MHz (PC800)

Condition Note:

This hardware has been pulled from a working legacy environment. Please ensure your power supply has the specific P4 power connectors required for these early boards.

Whether you're building a dedicated Quake III Arena machine or just want to hear that classic BIOS beep, this bundle is ready for its next mission.
