Re: P4 Willamette Core: Aiming for the Stars

Unimpressive result ... My Quadro FX1100 was somewhat faster (I started with a Northwood 2.8/533 to install and get a baseline) but system crashed, and haven't been able to boot with that card again. Trying some OC of the Willamette, but seems 1.9 is the limit for that one. May try a 1.8 from the …

By the way, do you have a link for that USB "splitter"?

Bit of a messy pic, on the left edge of the case I'm using one of my favourite lil guys, a USB 2.0 splitter: IMG_6296.jpeg One of these guys: 512EEDcrKEL._SL1500_.jpg Honestly, they're one of my "secret weapons" - I've found them extremely versatile for retro stuff, especially connecting modern …

Be aware that the T4x line has problems with failing graphics chips and the southbridge ("Flexing"). In later models, these were glued to the board which makes a reball very hard to do. T60 and T61 are great machines. Actually, I had great luck reflowing a T43 back in the day ... :) And since …

IBM 4:3 Thinkpads

Just visited the shop at the recycling station today. They had a stack of IBM Thinkpads with 4:3 (I guess - maybe 5:4, I can't tell) for a reasonable price. They are without charger, and Harddrive has been removed (unfortunately together with the bezel), I think that batteries were missing as well. …

Oh, this is gonna be fun. I only have an AGP motherboard for P4. The Ti4200 I have, apparently is in my storage, so as of now, the options are TNT2 M64 or Intel i740 🤣 hoping to get to building tonight ...

Never heard of this thing. This is really cool. I wonder what what it would do with a discreet GPU, seems like the 133MHZ FSB would give it a serious leg up. But then again the memory performance would be a drawback. Yeah, a proper RDRAM boards would probably unleash some performance on the memory …

I believe Asus made a 915 based S478 board. It'd be neat to seat a Willamette in one of those and let 'er rip alongside an RTX 2080 Ti. Somebody already inventoried all these boards - https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=50655 . Maybe I'm missing something but I can't see which ones the OP …

So, a Willamette core Celeron would also be allowed? I know it's not s fast per MHz, but maybe the overclockability is better and thus could push past it's P4 siblings?

Added the original GTX Titan to the stable. The 7 series of Titan class cards is now complete. This GTX Titan can run Tomb Raider 2013 on an i9-9900 with almost everything turned up to 11 on a CRT running 1024x768@100Hz. Only AA has to be kept at FXAA. If I bump it up to SSAAx2, the framerate drops …
