Description:
Vintage FIC 1st Mainboard VA-503+ Rev. 1.2A motherboard featuring the VIA Apollo MVP3 chipset and Super Socket 7 architecture. The VA-503+ was produced during the late-1990s Super Socket 7 era and supports a range of period processors including various AMD K6/K6-2 and Intel Pentium MMX processors depending on BIOS and configuration. The Rev. 1.2A board is documented with the VIA MVP3 chipset, Baby AT form factor, AGP, PCI and ISA expansion support, and both DIMM and SIMM memory slots.
The E-O037 designation is particularly useful to include in the listing because FIC documentation from the period references VA-503+ PCB Rev. 1.2A boards bearing E-O037 or later identifiers in connection with later AMD K6-III compatibility.
