Yeah I've heard rumors to that effect. Iirc my first serverboard, an Intel dual
socket 771 s5000vsa4dimmr ssi-eeb EATX behemoth didn't have sloppy support. Which was
so weird to me. I had to sell it.
Luckily I found a 5170 a few years ago. These 2 ~18 year old kids were carrying it out to
the road. They looked at me dumbfounded. But everyone in NJ always looks that way.
Apparently it was dad's work at home computer. He worked for a little known outfit
known as Chase. Said the badge stuck to the side anyway.
Kelly Leavitt said he once found a puter that belonged to an ObGyn. I had to ask - were
there any pictures on it LOL LOL LOL. What the! Eeeeeewwww On Thursday, January 19,

I would recommend 5170 (AT), to also have the 500K bps data transfer rate
of its FDC.
Newer PCs often have unnecessary complications. Many no longer even
support floppies!
