The PII overdrive is already a fancy thing. I would like to note that your system will ultimately be a FSB66 PII without AGP - yes, the PII Overdrive has an L2 cache with full CPU clock (like PII Xeon) in contrast to the Slot PII. This is almost common then, a Pentium II. A PPro system is rather …

The only thing that find when I search is this custom sticker: Well that's a bummer! It's a pity Intel didn't produce an official one!

Thanks Man! :) The RAID card and drives arrived today, and I've just finished installing WindowsXP! Here's what the system currently looks like internally: https://i.imgur.com/oi16IXU.jpg Here's the ATTO disk benchmark result: https://i.imgur.com/m9TgbHk.jpg Not quite as fast as I'd hoped for, but …

The RAID card and drives have arrived in country, but still need to be delivered to me (The snail-mail is taking forever!), and I'm in the process of purchasing this brand new Pentium II Overdrive chip for this system: (So I'll have a proper sticker to stick onto the front of the system! :) ) …

I'll definitely get the files to you as soon as I've completed the build!

I'm aware that the PCI Bus is limited to 133MB/sec, and only hope to get about 100MB/sec out of the RAID 0 setup. (As you never seem to get the full theoretical performance out of these systems!) https://i.imgur.com/mIt49XC.jpg But because the drives will be spinning @ 15K RPM, the seek times should …

Here's a comparison between the drive performance of an IDE drive (on the left-hand side) and a 10K RPM SCSI drive (on the right-hand side) in this system: https://i.imgur.com/ozH9UF0.png what's interesting to note is that the IDE drive outperforms the SCSI drive slightly in some cases, when dealing …

It worked fine on My Pentium Pro, running windows XP Professional SP3: I also have a DEC AlphaStation 255 @ 300MHz, fitted with a PowerStorm 4D60T that I could test it on in the future!

It certainly looks interesting, but it also appears to be much less common than the Pentium II Overdrive. They do mention that it does suffer from compatibility issues with Award BIOS though! And both of the boards that I have run Award BIOS!

The seller that I bought this board from had the Dual Socket-7 board available as well, but I didn't take it, as I was only interested in the Pentium Pro. The Socket-1 didn't really interest me either, as the Pentium II is pretty similar to the Pentium III, and I already have a Silicon Graphics 320 …

It does indeed! It's a MediaBus card consisting of an ADAPTEC 2940UW SCSI Card and a CREATIVE Sound Card.

A PPro for mere gaming, that's sacrilege! I'm kidding of course part of me quite enjoys using these enterprise level systems to simply play games and with your choice of a ISA sound card you can even drop back to dos gaming if you wanted (always a bonus in my book) This ones'a pure experiment, as …
