CentOS - Dec 2009 - [OT] Urgent request

Help,

Our server at work is down. The video memory is out.  Its an old IBM PC300PL,
6892-12U, running SCO.

If anyone happens to a stick of this type memory and would be willing to sell
it, please let me know.  Below are the requirements for the video memory:

The video memory interface is controlled by an S3 TRIO 3D graphics controller.
The amount of SGRAM
shipped with the video subsystem is 4MB in the PC 300PL computers, and 2MB in
the PC 300GL
computers.
The video memory module used in the PC 300PL (Types 6862 and 6892) is 2 MB 512K
X32, with
100MHz SGRAM.
The video memory module used in the PC 300GL (Types 6275 and 6285) is 2 MB 256K
X32, with
100MHz SGRAM. The PC 300GL (Types 6275 and 6285) can be upgraded from 2 MB SGRAM
to 4 MB
SGRAM with a 2 MB SGRAM SODIMM. The SODIMM can be plugged into the SODIMM socket
on the
system board.

I know, this machine should have been scraped a long time ago.

TIA

SGRAM SODIMMs were damn rare 10 years ago.   you're not going to find 
any today.

this is a server ?  who -cares- about the video card, yank it out, and 
stick something else in its place, like a old ATI Rage card.   google is 
telling me thats a pentium-II system, so it must be about 10 years 
old.   that or pull the disks out and get them working on another computer.

oh, its onboard video, ok, not going to replace it.

hey, amazing the power of the google.
