Re: Coppermine support on Epox EP-61BXA-M
Posted on Yesterday, 05:05
I've the OEM version of the SE440BX-2 (the -3) from a Dell and it happily runs the 1GHz/256/100 coppermine on a variety of slockets and it has a Yamaha sound chip on-board. There are a few good BX boards but for what they are, they can be pricey. It looks as if most of the microcode updates from …

Epox recommend (at least for the rev 0.5) up to 600 / 600E but there are plenty of BX boards capable of 800MHz - 1GHz so it'd be worth trying. Filename EPoX Recommended Processor List (0900766b80239068).pdf File size 51.96 KiB Downloads 2 downloads

Finally got round to opening the (quarantined!) box on my Data General AViiON 2300 dual P3 server. Weirdly, it seems to have been packaged separately in bits (case frame, case bezel, board/cpus/memory & PSU). Sadly there's more issues with the bezel on the Astor II case than I had expected - I knew …

Strange that the GA-6R7 doesn't work with any of your cpus - v1.1 (late 1999 / early 2000) was qualified by Intel with the GA-BX2000 and the GA-6BX as supporting Pentium III processors in FC-PGA package. I've never had any such issues with mine (v1.7). I'd just pick up a MSI MS-6905 Mater, cheap off …

I once had one of these boards, but it was dead and I couldn't get it working. I am pretty sure the manufacturer's name was Sunnyvale Labs, but I can't seem to find any information on it. PCchips M921 looks identical, so it was most likely a case of badge engineering. Thinking of the SYL8884? - …

Did you notice that the board in the PC Rebuilding link uses the SiS460 rather than the 461 chipset, and there are differences in some of the IC / socket layouts as well.

Re: Any point keeping a Dual Socket 5 server?
Posted on 2020-03-25, 20:49
The ALTServer manual only mentions the six-drive hinged bay, but apparently there was a smaller four-drive bay as well (gets a breif mention in the chassis docs - probably for other board designs). Can't find numbers for it, but the six-drive one is supposedly Hard Drive Housing Assembly / 627164- …

I'd agree with @luckybob, there's something about dual setups which I've only begun to appreciate since joining vogons - the one you're describing sounds a bit like an old Intel ALTServer like the one in this thread What would you stick in this dual socket board?
