Recently I've been spending a lot of time in the Twylight zone.

Why !?!?

my computer looks like: IDE controller: PM - CDRW (Auto in BIOS) PS - WDC400BB SM - IBM-DPTA-371360 SS - DVD (Auto in BIOS) HPT366 controller with BIOS version 1.28: PM - WDC800JB (set on UDMA 4) WinXP device menager says: PM - MWDMA2 PS - UDMA2 SM - PIO?!?!?! (even though "DMA if available" is ON)...

Congrats !
Keep up the good work.

Ditto !!

Hope every one had a very Merry Christmas.
And hope your New Year is good as well.

Make sure to have a designated driver. We don't want to loose any members this weekend.

...Instead I took one of the processors and ripped as I couldnt get enough room to remove it properly, and so yes I just yanked it out with the heatsink still attached running the cpu socket (it was the Evercool cu-725). I used the celeron 366 on a Microsoft Research shirt I have by shoving it thro...

Guys, I caution you all to leave the really high tech stuff like this to pros only. I, being just an amature, tried this...and it did work great but I burnt my house down. See, the 200 foot extension cord shorted out when a door closed on it unexpectedly. Not to worry though because my BP6 and I wer...

Jordan, I've wondered about trying 400@600 myself. I think the 366s are much more popluar because they run on 100FSB with no fuss and usually at LOWER then stock voltage...mine are at 1.9V. Anyway the Mendocino core hits a wall and not many people "have what it takes" to push past 575. Great post on...

Welcome to your first posting since joining.

What are on earth are you doing with a BP6 that warrants Server 03'?

Sounds like it might be a secruity issue. If memory serves Server 03' is designed to check obvious points of attack...

Hold the phones... 1st...Look at the capacitors for bulging/leakage/standing verticaly...not crooked on the board. 2nd...what is the condition of your PSU? It may not be working up to spec. If caps are all ok, try an ISA video card, if you can scrounge one up. Ive heard some AGP cards don't like dua...

WOW, 600MHz is really going for it. That gives the rest of the system(other then ram) about a 10% OC as well.

If you find the stability ok, after a while see if you can get the voltage down on the CPUs.

Oh you may have to update your SIG.

eggnog

Jordan, Im with Klik...if you want more(and you sound like you dont want to do the work to modify) just get a board that can do more. From your original post it looks like(if yur board is in good shape and using PC-100 ram) you can probably get up to 96FSB and have duals running nearly 600MHz. On ba...

Hey Derek,
Do you think BP6 could host Sis Sandra on the download section? Is there much difference in results? I noticed lots of folks have different year releases, but most BP6ers recognize it as a valid benching tool.
Thanks,
David

You may have to name that system "Purrkur" which is short for "The Sledge Hammer"...but thats another thread. Anyway after I finish drooling you are really getting good results from your AGP/PCI/ISA/IDE stuff with that near 30% OC on them. I noticed you have the 6gig drives in raid0 but set up as ma...

Toms Hardware Guide showed those PCI-slot adaptors for 2.5in HDs.

http://www.tomshardware.com/storage/20050617/index.html

In a nut shell Toms didn't rate them very highly except in the case someone absolutely needs one more HD and doesn't have anywhere to put it.

those 1100/100/256/1.75 C'mines are the best option for a mod'ed BP6 upgrade in my opinion.

Good luck going over 100fsb. On 3 different boards so far I have never got 110fsb. I can usually get Turbo-100 or maybe 104 but nothing stable beyone that. Active cooling on the BX doesn't help.

Isn't the formula.
If so, ya'all on the 220 volt circuits use higher volts but lower current to get the same watts.
Volts times current = watts

I tested that one HD today and it really was bad.

Thanks for the heads up Purrkur. I checked and the label is kinda hard to decipher but at one place it says IBM and another place states "100watt continous" but somehow it ties that power to 3v and 5v. So far I thought I had a bad HD but now I see it might be power starved. Its funny cause when I bo...

Thanks Jay.
I will have to scope that out(MS affinity filters) because it sounds like the solution for an issue here at work too.

BTW, when you were running your 'mixed dually' do you think you could have gotten the 466 to do more work by using this tool?

Move over guys :) I think I am most curious about how the BP6 behaves in a setup like that, how it configures the CPU's and what happens during overclock. I am guessing that it will configure both to run at 366 if not overclocked... buuuu, not invited...but do know the answer!!! one goes on 500, th...

UPDATED 20 hours after original post: Wow. I looked at the PSU im using and guess what??? Its only 100watts. ************************************************************************* If memory serves, I have a 175watt PSU connected to my test board(never enough time to actually run any tests) and it...
