Had that same decision to make last week. Went to someone who had problems printing, somehow the driver popped out and needed reinstalling. While I was working the lady told me that the machine (P2-300/64mb) is continually crashing etc, even though it appeared to be well maintained (i.e. not a...

Everything seems to work fine :)

I've also heard that in case you feel a crash is inevitable just to relax and take your hands off the wheel at the last moment, to stop you snapping your arms. As if anyone would think of that before smashing into something.

A little late, but yes, thanks Doug for all the time and effort. I appreciate it.

Looks rough... how fast was the other driver going? <Remembers to tick the side airbags option on my next car>

At a pinch, you could use Task Manager to check out the processor time for the particular process.

Coug means that F@H doesn't rely on memory bandwidth much if at all since the program is small enough to reside in cache. Therefore an Athlon or Duron are identical performers as the only thing that differentiates them is cache size and FSB.

Outlook Express :oops: I do keep my Windows fully patched though, my antivirus updated every day (unless I forget, but its become a habit every morning), and the POP server scans incoming mail for viruses as well. I had a virus come through a year or two ago but the antivirus on my machine...

The same place as cheese in cheesecake, and ham in the hamburger :mrgrn:

I've come across Pentium mobos that wouldn't take more than 500 megs. I would just save $50 and buy some sort of Pentium system like a 200MMX or similar - at least those are useable for Internet browsing etc whereas the 486 is rather limited.

This part I had an early S370 DFI board I think, that wouldn't do coppermines. But ten again, whta do you expect from a company named "Diamond flower international" or something like that. :mrgrn:

Not all. Early ones designed for PPGA Celerons could not, even some with the 440BX (as opposed to LX) couldn't.

Let me get this straight: you're going to underclock a CPU used for folding? How dare you! :crucified:

Wasn't working for me either earlier but it is now.

Problem was, I was going to upgrade anyway. I had it running at 1400 or thereabouts for 6 months or more, and just put in the auction for it. It fried, melted the CPU socket (Kt7a binned) and filled the room with lots of white smoke. Thats what you get when you mess with the heatsink on an...

My AXIA 1GHz hit 1400 with a regular Thermoengine heatsink and stock voltage. Who knows how much higher it would have gone if the damn cooler hadn't fallen off and the CPU burned to a crisp :(

I forgot to mention, there is a trick where you clip off three pins and short two pins on the Tualatin using a wire and then they appear to work on a BX board or whatever else doesn't normally support them. I've no idea how it works as far as voltages are concerned, but I did get a Tualatin 1.13...

The adaptor? You'd need a Powerleap adaptor to run a Tualatin CPU such as the C1400 on a slot 1 board. Those are not very cheap. I've found that it makes no difference if the board supports the multiplier or not - any CPU has worked fine for me in boards that don't actually support it...

ECS? Stable? I've had a bit to drink but what? (yes I know, some of their boards are stable but the majority are absolute tosh IMO)

To revive an old thread, I picked a GA7VAX up for a friend, the colour coding is a good idea but what exactly is the point of making the colour coding totally random? I've never seen a case which uses a red wire for the power switch, an orange for the power LED, or a blue for the HD LED. Unless...

I just picked up one of these Gigabytes for a friend, very nice board at a good price, though its manual (didn't read it, promise!) needs someone to write it properly once and for all. Once the 1200JB arrives I'll be installing Windows and seeing how the onboard audio goes - its not much of an...

yep, more than double the WUs... ;)

BTW... I've had enough of the E-PC and its pathetic folding performance - for very little extra money (after selling it) I'll be getting a Shuttle SK41 with Duron 1.3. The former I've already ordered, hopefully it will be here tommorow but knowing the lazy sods probably don't deliver sat/sun...

I've just ordered me its brother, the Socket A version. Going to replace my main machine with this. Why? Because I can :mrgrn:

BTW.. you dont need a powerleap adaptor if you're feeling adventurous. You just clip off three pins ont he CPU and join two pins with a thin wire and now youve got yourself a CPU with built in powerleap :wink: works a treat on BX boards.

Thanks, C. Little too late now though. I'm back home for Xmas, till the 2nd January, I assumed everything would be nice and dandy, but it seems the phone company has decided my parents owe them several thousands while they dont, so we have no phone line. I'm currently surfing from an Internet...

I'm going back home for 10 days so only the Celeron 1.2 (Ex P3-733) will be running. Don't feel comfortable leaving my main machine on when I leave. :oops:

Thanks for the link

It was 60... I'm almost willing to bet my life on it - I remember clocking my friends P150 to 166 by changing the bus speed to 66MHz.

<nitpick> also the P150 </nitpick> I never remember Pentium Pros being cheap??

Indeed there was - I came across one of those last week at work, some guy bought it off me for a collection, rare as rocking horse pooh. www.rotting-energy.net/Forums/p66.jpg P90 was 1.5x60. IIRC, the bug wasn't found/fixed till the P133? Uh-huh. My very first system, which some colleague...

There was a 50MHz Pentium - The Pentium 75

Yes you could use a Pentium in a Super 7, what I meant is that a small number of systems with Pentiums in normal Socket 7 boards use SDRAM. These boards usually have both DIMM and SIMM slots.

http://cpu-museum.de Some interesting stuff there. Came across the site some weeks ago and was meaning to post it but forgot. blakewry's thread reminded me of it.

Whoops. Royal screwup.

From my experience, the majority of people seem to be using P2 and early P3 systems (266-550MHz). a pentium MMX runs on a 66(possibly 50)mhz bus, uses EDO RAM, socket 7 board, probably a PCI vid card. The MMX's speeds start at 166 and goto 233mHz.

Well, its sensible if you think about it. If you increase the multiplier without doing the same to the FSB, the performance difference from one speed to another diminishes as the core speed goes up. The processor spends more and more time waiting on the slow FSB as the core speed increases and...

Yep. The Tualatin based CPUs are very nice indeed though... $50 gets you a 1.2GHz that will easily clock to 1.5GHz and give performance of a P3-1.5GHz if such a thing existed. And while putting out half the heat of an equivalent performing thunderbird.

Heres my Celeron overclocking history: My first Celeron, a 333, I got it up to 83MHz with the stock cooler which equates to 415 or so. The next one was a 400 that I got running at 540 (90MHz) with aftermarket cooler Then I got a 700 that I ran at 875, and finally, a Celeron 800 (100FSB...

P4 based are at above 1.4GHz IIRC. Between 1.1 and 1.4 they are Tualatin based which won't work in your board. Some of the 1.0GHz units are Tualatin based also. Go with a 900 or so... to be certain. If the board will support a Coppermine P3 it will support a Coppermine Celeron. I wouldn't go...

No one said I was in britain - I was in greece where it gets to around 35C all through july-august, occasionally up to 40C. This friend of mine has a room which is actually built on the roof of the house, an add-on if you want (tops of houses are flat). The roof comprises of some sort of metal...

I'm not sure its someone on the other end, I think this was from a site that had various answering machine messages you can use. I don't know why but I do find it funny - not that he's actually saying anything funny, maybe its because I hear the other guy laughing in the background, or just the...

Put them outside then :) I dunno, there must be a way :clown:

Check this arnie impersonator... www.rotting-energy.net/Forums/arnie.mp3

Come on people, nothing will happen to a well ventilated PC in 40C weather... just turn up those fans, don't be shy! (Yes I've tried it, more like 50C due to the roof structure of the room it was in, sun beating down on it all day, you couldn't sit in there but the PCs could, with no less than...

Come on Tea, blow on them or something, so what if its hot, take them out into the back yard. What kind of excuse is that? :D

BTW.. some mobos also over report temperatures, my A7V266E gives around 10C higher CPU temperature readings than other boards supposedly to compensate for innacuracies.
