Xeon based gaming machine?

[erikk]

Hey does anyone know of a Xeon MB that would work well as a gaming rig? I have a bunch of Procs, memory and HDs from work that are just sitting idle that I figured I could build a phat gaming rig around but I can't seem to find any good board for it.

My requirements are that the board support AGP and USB. Are there any good Xeon boards out there that support that?

Needed to add a few requirements in hindsight.

Also needs to support SDRAM as I have pc133 ECC Memory and no RDRAM.

Thanx in advance

Noone has any suggestions?

Assuming you are talking the old PentiumII or Pentium III Slot 2 Xeons and not the new socketed Pentium 4 Xeons - you are looking at some serious bucks for the mobo. Supermicro has a few but I believe they are $400+ as they are dual or quad processor boards. Some are Extended ATX, some are SWTX formfactor so you need special case if you get one of those. Also, some will take standard PC100 or PC133 SDRAMS, other boards require ECC or buffered RAM. I'd would just spend the money on something new which would be much faster anyway.
