Quick ? about VRMs for Servers

[Rombus]

I have 2 Gateway NS-7000 servers (Old P2 300mhz beasts) im combing to make one OK Server. The motherboards support 2 procs, so i figured i could toss both processors into one machine and be golden. Problem is i need to find a VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) for the second proc. I cant pull it off the other motherboard since its onboard.

So are all VRMs for P2s essentially the same? Could i pick up a VRM from say a compaq with the same pin counts and use it in a gateway mobo as long as it would fit (looks like most of them use the same design). Any suggestions on where i could find this? Google and Ebay haven’t pulled up anything, and gateway parts department doesn’t have it even listed.

Weird error with WYSISYG Editor and copying text from word! sorry about that!!!! :Kicks WYSISYG:
