I been reading at 2cpu that some models have melted the connector on the MB

No didn't have to mod anything.

Although that's what happened to Engineer and his Tyan. He even posted a pic or two of the burnt ATX connector.

Click me!

But...they were the TBird 1400's that pulled so much power. The XP1800's haven't bothered the other board one bit!

This site show the Tbird's drawing 72 watts
and the Palomino's (what i have) drawing 90 watts.:Q

The S2460 board is only rated for XP1900 chips anyway. They are 49 Watts each on the page you listed KWatt. Much lower than the TBird 1400's (72W) that I WAS running!

Maybe I am not uderstanding it. But, 3 items down from the 1900's it shows Palomino's. Is that not for all Palomino's?

Actually, that is for the 1.75V cores. I'm not sure what voltage (1.53? maybe) the other XP chips are. All I know is that XP1800 and XP1900's run much (MUCH) cooler than TBird 1400's on the same board. The XP's do have a Palomino core, but not sure if they are the same voltage. What speed (XP?) are your chips?

 

[Wiz]

remember there are Durons,Tbirds, Palominos, Tbreds, Bartons and Opterons

oh, and sometimes it's an "a" or "b" chip, having different voltages just to make it interesting...

Hmm...I've got 2 AGOIA core XP1900's (factory unlocked as I would suspect that your's are also) running on one now. They are much cooler than the TBird 1400's. Considering that those (xp1600's) chips are running at 1.4GHz Also, I would bet that they use much less power than the TBirds.

Anyone else confirm this?

Any of you guys or gals got about 50 feet of cat5 with ends you want to get rid of? I could use it of you do.

Can anyone help me out here? I've still got that complete 133 I mentioned earlier just waiting for a lovely home.

I very much need someone with the mATX board I mentioned. A stick of 128sd pc133 ram is needed, as well as a half decent monitor to borrow. I am very willing to pay for any of this aswell.

Thanks.

ack! I've just discovered that I'm missing a network card for my new setup.

I've got one card in my main box, connected to the cable modem. then I've got another card in my second box to connect it to the hub.....BUT I need a second card in my main box or I can't connect it to the hub... and thus my second machine can't reach the outside world. ugh.

Can anyone help out a novice home networker???

 

[Freewolf]

Sounds like you need a router not a hub. Plug both machines into the lan ports on the router and plug the modem into the wan port on the router.

I agree with you..... got a spare router laying around???

If not, I think I can get a NIC a lot cheaper that a router. I definitely need one or the other!

I saw in Hot Deals (or F@twallet) that Compusa had their brand Routers on clearance for $10.00 each!

Are you sure a nic will work? Don't know about your isp but mine charges extra for more then one ip address. I picked up a 4 port linksys on the fs/t forum for $24.00 shipped

Sounds like he was planning on setting up ICS. Main box connected to the ISP with 1 NIC, second NIC connected to the HUB, communicating with the 2nd PC. So the main PC is functioning as a router.

I had that setup myself, until I got tired of messing with ICS and some of the hassles, and got a Linksys router/4 port switch.

One of the AMD soldiers is now up and running, will have the other up shortly. I read the thread wrong initially that night, it was late. I thought I saw 1.2 T-Birds. I see I was wrong when popped it in and it immediately came up at 1.4.

I'll work on seeing how much I can get out of the ECS board now beyond 1.4

JW told me about Overclocking BIOS called Honey X.

It made me able to jump the FSB from 266 to 280 and the 1.4 is reporting as 1.5 by Sandra.

It's been doing 5 or 6 WU's a day, will see tomorrow what it will be doing now. Should be 7 or 8

I need DDR RAM (preferably PC2700 or higher but I won't be picky) for an XP 2200+ machine (just got in on a Newegg refurb deal). I'll gladly pay for shipping (money order, I'm poor and don't have a CC or checking account) and a little for the memory.

EDIT: I will crunch for the donor's preferred DC project if requested, otherwise the machine will be used for F@H.

Please PM me and bump this thread if you have an offer!
Thanks!

Bump...

Does anybody have a spare wimpy laptop harddrive? I could really use one, nothing big, just enough to hold a copy of win98. Maybe 500 MB or so. I'll pay for shipping or will trade for any of my stuff listed on my previous post minus the 2 Celeron CPU's - HSF - 2 sticks of PC100 ram - 2G HD, which I donated to other people.


Thanks,
Martin Trevino

 

[MoFunk]

I am actually in need of a small hard drive also if anyone has one. I just got a couple boards back from RMA and have everything but CPU and HD. I would rather pay $40 for a Duron then $80 on a HD. Let me know if anyone can help.

Hey Coquito if no one wants that P133 you could build it to use as a smoothwall firewall/router system. http://smoothwall.org/

 

[Coquito]

Hehe... no way can I keep this huge thing. Space is limited even if I were to take off the case(I'd probably get all cut up). Most likely, I'm going to offer it up free on the fs/t forums to anyone running a dc project. I'm sure someone could at least use the parts for something. The zip drive could be useful for harvesting alot of wus; everyone needs a hd, etc.

 

[MoFunk]

How much do you think shipping would be for that?
