that is really a good rate for p-4's. we get a lot of 775's and i doubt if we get 1 in 20 that have a working motherboard. the cpu's are all good, but the board is fried. i can't remember the last 478's we had that were any good.
to be honest, i had never checked into any of these boards. i have been going off settlement returns. now that i have dismantled a few of these boards, it is rather obvious what the problems are.
i would agree that most of the 86 computers will still work. i found a quite a few of the old p-1 and pentium pros still work as well. i just don't get many any more.
