I would use the Pentium 4. Celeron's are pretty sub par really. I think you would see better performance with the P4.

That, and the Slowerons are Pres-hot cores. Not to mention the P4 is a Willamette. Should OC decently.

Okay.
I took a picture of it,here it is.
EDIT:Whoops,posted too soon so image didn't upload.Fixed.

I don't need OC for 2 reasons:
1.I use toothpaste as a "poor man's thermal paste"(which does it's job quite good,40-45*C idle)
2.This board's BIOS doesn't have any OC features.

Then definitely don't use the Celerons, the Prescott cores won't do well with toothpaste, lol.

I've actually tried that once with this board,and even though temps were 80-85*C they were still stable without a problem.
Obiviously touching them was impossible,as they were so hot you could cook on them.
With the P4 I would only get that temp if the toothpaste was very dry.

Better than I thought they'd do. :toast:

Nice Pentium Pro setup. How much RAM does it have?

Not sure, the modules are not clearly marked. Will find out when I boot it, need a heatsink first tho.

Strange that they were stable though.
At how high were the temps I was expecting the machine to reboot to a black screen,requiring me to turn it off to let the CPU cool down.

Sad sad day for me. My last Nf2 board took a dump. Bios went wacky and now won't do nothing. I am going to see if I can find a replacement bios chip. I still have other 462 boards including a Via kt880 board which is a very nice board and it actually holds its own against nforce 2 boards.

Oh that sucks bro! Hopefully you can find a replacement bios chip for it.

I think there is an outfit that sells all kinds of them..........Hmm I think it is called "bios man" or something like that.

Yep, found it: http://www.biosman.com/replacement.htm

Maybe check with them. I think they do a lot of selling on Fleabay as well.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Apr 12, 2014

I'll check them out.

HP DC7900 incoming....the dump strike again. Happy day! ( well end... But still happy)

sooo where i work : they should really look at what they throw away ... : win7 on it running all fine ...

1 PciE 1x 2 physical X16 (X16/X4 B/W)

already in : 2x2gb PC2 6400 oh well i add 2x1gb XMS2 i have to make it 6gb, Core 2 Duo E8500 (Core 2 Quad compatible weeheeeheeee!)

and ... not bad for a OEM heatsink only 1 fan instead of 2 like the DC7700p and copper base

up and running ... gosh i love Wolfdale C2D
less nostalgic than the DC7700p but soooo much 2008

Seems that HP thought about having 2 PCI-E slots....maybe for SLI?

wish i had someplace like that

aand i ordered an athlon 64 x2 3800+ and 4x1GB DDR some while ago for the 939 board and they're not here yet :cry:

MaxiPro800 said:

i dont think so since it would be single slot and X16/X4 electrically, at last not SLI since it wouldnt get the SLI ready from nV (need a X8 minimal iirc) but CFX has no minimum, like my FM2A88M Ex4+ who has Crossfire ready and can only do x16/x4 2.0/2.0 or X16/X4 3.0/2.0 (with a Kaveri Apu).

EDIT... wait ... the Powercolor 5450 is single slot ... and cheap enough for me to try something with that DC7900 ahahahah ... (either way i need a 2nd 5450 i will never run a GMA 3100/4500 again)

Doc41 said:

yeah ... on 3 PC's they sent to the dump only 1 was not re usable (DC7600 PIV S775) the 2 other :

DC7700p
tech diagnostic : motherboard fried,
my experience : onboard video out of order (work fine until you install the video driver)

cost of the reparation: less than 27chf for a 5450
bonus: free Win XP Pro license (even with the end of support i still love XP )

DC7900
tech diagnostic: motherboard fried (Uh? does he know his job?) and PSU too (oh i bet he added PSU to make believe he was knowing what he did )
my experience: oh well started just fine on the VGA or the DP after removing some dust and other joyful things... seems that one SATA port recognize the HDD in the bios but not in win7 (working on it)

cost of the reparation : 0chf ... aherm ...
bonus: free Win Vista Business license (whaaattt maybe its vista but still it is free .... on a second thought i think i will keep it under 7 Pro ... )

Installed XP on the Pentium III machine and it runs flawlessly. Gotta play with it today some old games what will run in that PC :toast:

i have XP on a PIII 450/600 (i swap often) on a ACER Veriton FP board (RageXL 8mb 1 PCI slot 2x128mb kingston PC133 odd formfactor) i use it ... when i am bored of the AXP rig (for games oldies)

s'more pics of the DC7900 (or is it 9700... :roll:

)

decided to use the 5450 in it and put the XMS2 till i find some matching2x2gb set to add to the 2 others , and still amazed from the heatsink build quality...

Oh a skt 370... I was talking about slot 1 pIII xD

stinger608 · Apr 15, 2014

Okay, I talked about this a couple of weeks ago.......... :laugh:

Wait for it.............

This sucker includes dual Opteron 285 dual cores.
Thinking I might throw this together and put Windows Server 2012 Essentials on it just to mess around.

Has 6 gigs of ECC ram and them crazy solid copper heat sinks!
Even still includes the video card chip that you can swap for single card or SLi.
This thing weights a ton with them heat sinks.

Only problem is; the north bridge fan is junk. However I am thinking I might be able to pull it apart and put some sewing machine oil in it and I might be able to save it for awhile LOL.

I wonder,would this beat a usual AM2 PC?

Ya know, in theory it should. I think it would depend on the application being run. Several applications don't utilize dual processors. I know some use multiple cores, but there are a lot that won't use multiple processors.

I mean in terms of performance.For example,how would Sony Vegas 11 work on that system and if it's as fast as a high-end AM2 system.
One thing I noticed on my 2 rigs,is that while my AM2 is slower on Windows 7,the other rig (Socket 478,P4 1.7 Willamette,896MB DDR400 RAM,80GB SATA HDD)is very fast.The 478 rig runs Vista Home Premium SP2.
