 +## IBM eServer xSeries 220 (Type 8645)
 +
 +| **Motherboard** | xSeries 220 Type 8645, EATX, somewhat proprietary |
 +| **CPU 1**       | Intel Pentium III 933 MHz |
 +| **CPU 2**       | Unpopulated |
 +| **RAM**         | 256 MB PC133 ECC |
 +
 +### Remarks
 +
 +Otherwise fairly similar to the documented [Type 8646](https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/ibm-eserver-xseries-220-type-8646), it notoriously uses older Pentium Pro-style VRM connectors, used up until VRM 8.4. Since Tualatin CPU's require at least VRM 8.5, it stands to reason the big difference between 8646 and mine is that I can't run Tualatin CPU's without an interposer. Damn. 
 +
 +On Tualatin compatibility, following articles are recommended:

 +
 +### Remarks
 +
 +Still lacking the flash storage adapter for the IDE interface. Runs Alpine Linux from a pendrive. Alpine (and probably any other distro) has lots of issues with it's non-standard ACPI interfaces. At it's heyday, people tried to run Linux on it and were able to come up with some _gambiarras_ to make it work, but those got broken when modern-day Linux transitioned nearly all ACPI stuff to `sysfs`.
