this is very old stuff; no semi modern system will run on this smoothly, even if it were supported

I believe I have the same controller. Iirc it is supported under Win98SE natively - but not sure. My Win98SE system is currently in a scandisk session, testing some old drives I picked up. In about 16 hours (if it keeps going at the rate it's doing now) I can stick in the card and confirm.

Don't have any XP systems at present, but might be able to look at behaviour under 2k. Can't promise that as the system in question needs more work and I expect a busy evening.

Benchmark... ain't got no time for that shiiit ;) Maybe tomorrow, although both work and private life are idiotically busy atm, so no promises. If not tomorrow, I'm not even home till Sunday... in any event I have disks that will totally outperform the 50p narrow SCSI limitations (Seagate Cheetah …

I'm afraid that benchmark's not going to happen... I had half an hour this morning I could have used, but I can't find my SCSI disks. They are in the computer room *somewhere*, but not in any of the obvious places. It would take more time than I have to dig them up (i.e. tidy the whole place up), …
Re: What is "AMD only" DDR2 RAM?

Yes, K8 started the on-die memory controller tradition But they never had any limitation to speak of, at least since switching to DDR2 with "Rev F" cpus (and especially sensible considering the IMC seems to be shared with the server socket, which could possibly also explain the "extended …

What case is that in the picture? I think I might have one just like that, but I'd need a pic to confirm that. Just curious, that's all.

I used that case when I built a Socket A system for my parents in 2002 (or maybe 2003). Although the system was sold or trashed (don't know) quite some time ago, my dad might still have the invoice for that system in some old folder. I happen to be at their place tomorrow, so I can ask him. Maybe …
AMD Athlon XP 1700+ Palomino Thermal Management?
Posted on 2018-09-22, 15:46
Hi guys, I was wondering about how much heat the 1700+ Palomino puts out. I'm not sure what is normal for it, haven't found much information about it. Currently, I'm using an all aluminum Coolermaster heatsink with Arctic MX4 thermal paste and modified with an adapter to run an 80mm Arctic F8 3 Pin …

BIOS = idle temp. That's a bit too much.

BIOS = idle temp. That's a bit too much. Sorry, forgot to clarify, I took BIOS temps after running some software, so it was still dissipating heat, I finally found software that I can get some in Windows XP temps, Motherboard Monitor works great. Currently with just running Windows XP and playing …

Most BIOSes run the cpu at 100% because there is no throttling there. So you are actually reading the full load temps if you stay in bios long enough... !

Athlon XP has no Thermal Control. It simply burns if you overheat it. Except your Motherboard offers some protection..
