Upgraded a clunker

[Justintime]

Well she finally let me at it My next step is to completely rebuild Clarissa's machine.. but for now here we go

Pentium 266 - K6-3 450
128MB RAM - 512MB - aptiva surprised me that it saw 256mb modules

4GB HDD - Took a 40GB Maxtor drive, BIG improvement over the half dead seagate.

ATi onboard rage pro chipset - Geforce 4 MX 440 PCI

CD-ROM - Ricoh DVD ROM CDRW combo

Slipped in a 350w psu that barely fit but works fine.


ohh and an upgrade from win98 to 2000

 

[Justintime]

Hope she likes it when she sees it tomorrow

Should haul balls in comparison. If she not grateful, something's wrong.

 

[Justintime]

I've got a A7V333 and a stick of 512MB PC2700 registered Samsung here just burning for a Tbred to hit the moon, too bad i can't use the samsung in the Nforce boards as they can't boot registered modules That'll likely be her next board, if she'd only agree

 

[Justintime]

I'm debating now on whether to use sp2 or 3, had some problems on older rigs with SP3..

 

[Leslie]

but it was ok to make me install it, eh?


SP3 worked ok on mine

 

[Justintime]

I did'nt get troubles till after i don't deal with much oldie clunkers

I have one old computer that is good for using during thunderstorms.

 

[catocom]

I still playing with overclocking a new model duron 1.1gig.
I've nearly got it to 2gig.
I think I'm gonna have to go with a different mobo, to get any
more. It's just a 133 epox board, and I got it running 166fsb.

I'm working on an OC review of it, I'm gonna post somewhere.
I can send sam, or fury a copy to post here somewhere if anyone
is interested.

 

[Justintime]

what chipset? if its a KT333 board it'll do 166fsb usually even though its not offically rated.

 

[catocom]

I think it's 266 standard maybe kt266.
It's an epox, ep-8k72, that wetling was running water cooling on,
and the pump went out and burnt the processor, I think.
I got it from him for $10. It's been doing pretty good using
high per OCZ pc2100. I've got some high per ddr333 I'm probably
going to try next. The bios does have options to go to, I think,
183fsb. It is running at 166fsb, but is a little glitchy.

 

[Bubba]

Hi catocom.

Can't wait to see the review.

 

[Clarissa]

Its smoking! MY next upgrade is to get broadband... i'm spoilt now!

 

[Justintime]

Get DSL.. i wanna be the only guy in the hood with cable so i can hog all the bandwidth, and why am i telling you here when you're about 4M away from me?

 

[chcr]

Broadband is the greatest computer invention since the microchip (well, okay, one of the greatest). BTW,Clarissa, when are you going to put up an avatar? You'll be hard pressed to find one that reflects your personality as well as my av does my personality.

 

[Justintime]

The only av i have in mind for her is against the aup
