You could look for an ASUS P55T2P4D mobo.  It has 2 socket 7 and eight 72 pin
RAM sockets.
It's built on an Intel 430HX PCIset chipset.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .

X-no-Archive:yes
Let me take advantage of this list's tendency to be able to answer most any
question. I have two questions related to my cheap PC, that should probably
be replied to off list.

After replacing the CMOS battery and having the PC refuse to boot, I noticed
brown scorching on the plastic power connectors (the ones that supply power
to the mother board), around the pins for the red wires. What could cause
this (besides shorting or overheating; IOW, what is causing the shorting or
overheating)?

I assumed that the power supply was bad, so replaced it, and continued to
experience failures. Then I noticed that the new power supply exhibited
similar scorching. So now I suspect that it is the motherboard that is the
problem, and am trying to find a replacement motherboard that will support
two Pentium 100s, and four pair of 72 pin SIMMs. Needless to say, those are
no longer so easy to find.
