Noticed I had a surplus of HD 5000 gpu's, decided to put them to use.
2x HD 5970's + 2x HD 5870's for 6x GPUPI. I don't have the psu's for this though, but I did just buy an ancient relic from 2007 that should help with that.

Powerchip Semiconductor Corp.. They're an IC manufacturer like Micron, Samsung, Hynix, Ect.
I'm sure back in they're day PSC DDR2 was pretty decent for a daily system but it still can't compare to Micron D9 DDR2 for benching purposes, 1200 CL5 or 6 with PSC doesn't cut it, any good D9 will do around 1300+ CL5 @ 2.2-2.3V.

Thank you.

 

[Trekkie4]

Thank you.

So much for my Printer Scanner Copier theory

I used to own HP PSC2355 All-In-One ages ago, so "HP" was the first thing on my mind when it came to PSC.

may not retro but today no one will use this, my A8 5500 IGP in Crossfire with an HD 6570 2GB

Its still 25% better than the 7870K IGP with DDR3 2400

Is this all up to date as of October 21 Windows XP Integral Edition
and will this work as a new XP for my Retro PC?

Three questions:

2. What are you talking about?
3. What does it have to do with this thread?

This weekend was EPIC, again. I'm so used to this and it is better than any drug.

To get the idea of the amount of stuff that sometimes comes my way. Check the pics.

1. 401-386SX-09 motherboard - soldered Intel 386SX-16MHz- battery acid damage, needs trace repair. Manufactured in 1989!
2. FDD/HDD/Serial/Parallel ISA controller
3. Seagate ST-351A/X - 40 MB suitable for AT and XT systems - unfortunately it doesn't spin up. As a last resort I opened it up and the motor spins freely. Probably some IC was damaged on the PCB
4. Diamond 3dfx VooDoo 1 4MB PCI - needs 1 cap - no biggie.
5. Two Compaq Video Memory Expansion cards - 004829-001 *** 213859-001 / 002593-001 *** 141335-001 - no idea for what configs they are used but wth these look kind of exotic.
6. AV-8540 - Sk.3 motherboard UMC chipset - mint - a mosfet received a HS and it had its legs made longer.
7. MSI MS5169 VER:2.1 AL9 - SS7 motherboard - mint
8. Aquarius MB-4D33/50D Sk.3 motherboard - Opti & Samsung chipset with LOCAL BUS SLOT whatever that is?! - mint - even the eyelets where the barrel battery should've been installed are free of solder.
9. Guillemot COUGAR Video Edition PCI - nVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64 32MB PCI - I already mounted a new heatsink. A really out of the ordinary card.
10. ASUS K7M Slot A + AMD K7500MTR51B C - CPU ok - motherboard not ok - some damage on the NB chipset from a screwdriver when they removed the HS. The motherboard starts but no RAM is detected. If I remove the RAM I get the no RAM error but other than that nothing. The NB chipset will be professionally reflowed at some point in the future. Otherwise the MB has minimal damage.I'm confident that it will work as the damage is just on the edge.
11. MSI MS8806 - nVIDIA Riva TNT2 PRO 32MB AGP

Another great weekend has ended!

What will I find next week?!?!

More later.

Slot A Athlon and an Asus P5A.....very nice. My father has multiple P5A's for running Orcad back in the day.

I'm still not understanding what you're responding to because you didn't quote a comment with that question.

What is it specifically that you want to know?

 

[stinger608]

I'm also a little confused as to what you are asking as well @Greenslade ?

Did someone post a link or something to Windows XP Integral Edition?

 

[AlwaysHope]

Uhh... I'm going to take a wild guess & say Printer/Scanner/Copier?

Those who are not up to speed with the nomenclature of this industry.... end up being the subject of your sense of humour.

Thanks. clears things up. I pried the HS of that Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5 ver5.2 kit I uploaded an image of back in this thread & the chips had Corsair stamped on them.

Ok, cool. Thought I was missing something. We might have a language barrier issue here.

@Greenslade
I meant no offense to you at all. That said, are you asking if the October 21 release of XP Integral Edition is good for retro builds?

If so, I want to say yes. Windows XP Integral Edition has proven to be very solid and trustworthy custom build of XP. Just make sure you have an actual XP Pro COA/CDKey for it so you are legal & legit.

 

[Ruru]

Did I tell ya that I got an old HP dc7600c from my uncle? Sucks tho that even it has a 945 chipset, it still won't support Core2 even with the latest bios.

Did some upgrades, it had P4 640, 2.5GB DDR2 (512MB stock) and no graphics card, only the shitty iGPU. Also 80GB HDD and a PATA DVD drive. I updated its bios, put a D925 and 3GB RAM there, also a 7800 GT. Without mentioning a 160GB HDD and two DVD drives because why not?

edit: Don't even ask, it has a fresh install of XP Pro SP3 on it

Sorry if i did not make myself clear.No problem at all Lex Yes that was my question.I have got a COA/CPKey.Thanks for your answer Lex.I got the graphics card a few days ago, it is not sticky like the seller was saying. I have no idea why he said it was?Just Ordered the EVGA BR 500W PSU from Scan Computers.For some unknown reason it is 13 pounds more for the same modal from them on Amazon .

Maybe you misunderstood me, I wasn't making fun out of someone who doesn't know what PSC means. Primarily since I had no idea what "PSC" stands for, either.

But "HP" machine was the first thing on my mind (despite the obvious conclusion, telling me otherwise) so I posted it here... For what it's worth, I have a pretty strange sense of humor, which quite often other folks interpret the wrong (and/or hostile) way. Life is already way too short & fragile to be taken seriously IMHO.

Mid 2008 Asus mATX AM2+ board (M3N78-VM) with Phenom II 905e. I'll be using the stock FX-8350 cooler I have sitting here doing nothing, should be fun for little OC experiments. Not sure on the OS, maybe stick with win7 for now. Fitting the cpu cooler was one of the most pleasant installations of any cpu cooler I have ever done, easy as!

An nice and iconic HP laptop has found its way to me.

HP Pavilion dv6 Artist Edition, model dv6-1299ea. Came with a HD4650 1GB, a Turion RM-75, no HDD and RAM. Also needed a reflow on the AMD M780G and needs some fresh thermal paste as my MX4 tube seems to be empty.

I dare you to try Windows 11 on it!

Does not matter on an unsupported EOL OS. You get no updates or anything.

Digging around in my CPU collection this morning trying find my old Phenom II X6 chip, I discovered this rather rare AM2 socket Athlon 64 X2, low energy chip. The stepping code is not listed on cpu-world.com database as yet so I made a submission with all the info.


A sample of some of the cpus in my collection. These are afaik some of the oldest so far, everyone needs a hobby right...

Yes nice indeed, too bad back then I was a "blind" intel fan.... lol.. only stumbled across them in systems with some visits to 2nd hand shops yrs ago. But today trying to find a decent AM2+ or AM3 board is a pain.
