Hi,

I live in Phoenix and need to test a main board for a Pentium 4/Celeron (478
pin/533,800fsb). The problem is I don't have a processor to test it. I
understand this is an odd request but I'll be receiving the board on
Thursday the 1st of September and I have 30 days to test it and either RMA
it or keep it. I got it for my brother for a December gift but I don't want
to buy the CPU until then. BTW, the board is a SOYO 865PE SY-P4I865PE+ 1.0

Thanks,
Mark


Mark,

You can put the motherboard in a case with the proper PS and turn it on without any RAM or CPU installed and it should complain (loudly) that those items are missing. That should tell you it isn't DOA.
