Oh BTW- Has anybody ever experienced quad-pentium PCs before? I'm talking original pentiums. I've never seen one but heard they existed. They sound outrageous. I wonder if a quad slot-1 system has ever been made... I've got 5 or six extra slot-1 celeron 333s just lying around... When I first got in...

My first was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum with the tremendous 48kb memory, dead flesh keyboard, built in basic instead of command line interface, a tape recorder for storage and the TV for screen. Mine was the TI99-4A with 16Kb.(the rest was the same as yours) People may laugh at the specs but truth of t...

Im with ya on setting it up as dual 533s working faithfully and dependably as a server. I hate to think of retiring mine unless I 'mentor someone in OCing...cause the BP6 is the KING in the lessons in that arena.

Maybe she has too much makeup?

Yup, thats about the time. I wrote this HUGE program in basic. It was almost 4 k. I couldn't imagine anyone ever writing anything that could use even 256 k of ram for anything other then a ramdisk.

Gosh,
Im still stuck in the era when a person used his imiagination more then his sences. I can read a book and hear better sound then any sound system will ever put out.

Derek,
Maybe we can get Bode Miller to change to skating and joint the Swed team.

isn't a 768 enough?!

It's scary to think that 768mb once WAS enough!

It's scarier to think 768 kb was once TOO MUCH!

yup. Exceletn chance. Make sure you put greese under the "greenie and a fan on top of it.

Also make sure you are using PC-100 or PC-133 ram. You may need to start at 2.1 volts on the cpus but avter a few hours you can probably drop that back. Many of us are running dual 366@550 at 1.9v or less.

jordan162055, you wondered about mods and such and want 800Mhz. First, you really MUST do something about the caps. There are several threads on caps here. You can even come up with some "free options. (let me plug my own work here) http://www.bp6.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=2706&highlight= The BP6 do...

I hate getting old. Things just out run me now. My BP6 is in the same fix as ME which I also hate. My DDR, underclocked with 256MEG, duron, ECS board (which in some peoples opinion is crappy) SOOOOO out preforms my BP6 nomatter how I configure it... Its just frustrating that we are stuck with such a...

must buy some more cd's

Um, try Yahoo music "Its all about the Pentiums" by Weird Al.
I think they got Hal6000 in there. And Kuun might be the guy wearing the red outfit thingy.

Later.

WOW. Some of my friends think Im really dumb for a smart guy.(Others dont think Im that smart...) :invi_blink: I was curious and searched the phrase :shock: "never feed trolls" which is in one of my favorite Yahoo music videos by Weird Al...opps. I didn't mean to digress. Anyway, I find my self wond...

Thrakath,
Check out these links.

This one for the coil.

This one for the capacitors.

raid0 or raid 1.
Raid 0 is a strip set with greater speed as both drives share the load equaly.
Raid1 is a volume set with slower speed because one drive is totaly filled before the other starts to fill.

Thrakath, First let me say welcome to the board. Next...take a look at your capacitors bofore proceding. They should be standing straight, no bulging and no brown goo on top or bottom. If you are running 500s you should boot at 66FSB and see if the system shows them on the POST screen. If both cpus ...

Wait,
You said the 400@600 were unstable? grrrah I thought that would work for sure since it was just the cpus being pushed(well also the BX).

Firefox huh?
Where do I get Firefox?

Nah. Not in this lifetime.

Here in the USA we are all very proud of and feel the pain for Michelle Kwan. It takes a great person to have pushed for a lifetime and then willingly step down with the GOLD so close but accepting it is just out of reach.

on common boards you have 2 connectors (4 units), and usually IDE1 is ATA66/100/133 and the IDE2 is only ATA33, 'cause most of the CD & DVD units are only ATA33! of course, on some you might find both ports with all ATA speeds...in which purrkurs advice is great... klik, Id re-consider before makin...

Explaination...no.
But fix...yes.

Stick with the ps2 keyboard and mouse, and use the USB keyboard and mouse on a newer system.

Um, how exactly are you holding that giant Slot1 Celeron heatink + fan on the where a Greene came off?

Davd Rave,
If they would have used your design at "Three Mile Island" nuclear plant they could have prevented the melt down.

Also I want to try that design on a laptop. Tell me how to do it.

s4brains, No, you are not confused.(I'm the resident expert on confused after all) What you said about optical drives and HPT366 is correct. Some folks have reported sucess in using opticals on the '366 but most have just faced frustration when trying that combination. Many don't trust the HPt666 fo...

Anyone dedicated to a BP6 board in todays world should appreciate this comment. It fits most of us and the way we discribe the guy who designed the -100 system.

"A person's definition of a fanitic is someone more enthusastic then they are."

Tbbw,
Check out this link. Many pics that show the problem. Many solutions to the problem.
The ABIT-RMA system has taken more then a month to send a replacement board at times.
