no. you can only install a SBC card like that into one OR the other slot. They just let you pick which slot in case you have an abnormally large card. SMP SBC cards like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Portwell-ACTI-688-R0M0E0-Bios-V1-00-Dual-processor-SBC/264381992276?hash=item3d8e650d54:g: …

2:10 on a 700 and 3:00 on a 900 is almost a perfect ratio between 9 & 700mhz. i have to admit, this is fucking with my head. I wonder if P4 xeons will work like this? I have a PC-DL i need to test before I box it up for storage...

I think the quick and dirty test here would be running win2k, and multiple threads of something like super pi. if the cpus are running at the same speed, the calculation times will be very similar (if not exactly equal), if a 700 is running with a 900 (for example), then the differences in times …

Oh, I'm 110% curious too. I mean, everything I know about smp comes into question. So i'm anxiously awaiting proof. I'll even go test it on my boards if its possible. Mostly as an academic exercise, as I almost always put a matching set of the FASTEST processors possible. (I run 4x 900's in that …

Impossible for the software to influence the multipliers, it's set via jumpers or on the CPU if they are locked. It did not complain for me but I didn't flex it much with benchmarks so I'll have to prove it with screenshots probably at the weekend. I am sure it has been done with weird combos for …

It definitely works with a single CPU in either slot with no terminator (Slot 2 or 440GX advantage maybe) you can also run scsi drives w/o a terminator. SOMETIMES. Same thing applies here. A terminator will benefit system stability greatly. The CPU slots are marked CPU0 and CPU1, actually the CPU1 …

I list EVERYTHING as "or parts/not working". It's the only way a non-business seller can sell anything on epay without taking a 10" marital aid up the rear. And I happen to LIKE that sort of thing!

Since we're still receiving multiple reports on this thread I'll step in and just say that yes, people have a view and opinion like Bruninho that he only buys what he perceives as his need. Respect that. Same goes for Bruninho, respect that someone want to spend money on the latest and greatest. …

Can you even tell the difference between 1080p and 4K on a fast moving FPS? by that logic, we should still be playing @640x480. I went from 1440 to 4k, and yes, you can tell the difference when you stop and look around.

it's not so much the timings, but that is a a HUGE factor, 3-chip and 9-chip simms are electrically different.

no. the bottom simm is a 1mb, but it's wired differently than the top. they need to be the same type of simm in the bank.
