Since I started my socket 3 motherboard collrecting frenzy I hgave always wanted to build a very high spec socket 3 machine so about 2 weeks ago I finally had the last bits'n'pieces to build one.
The result was this:
Motherboard:
Asus 486 PV/I SP3 rev 1.22, a funny thing is that even though my board isn't the latest rev it has the latest SiS chipset revision
CPU:
Cyrix Cx5x86 120gp @120mhz
Memory:
2x 32mb 60ns FPM simm's
Graphics card:
Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 2mb 50ns EDO DRAM
Sound card(s):
Sound Blaster 16 CT2800 (Vibra 16 chip) *NEW*
Gravis Ultrasound PnP rev 1.0
Music Quest MPU401 (roland MPU401 compatible)
Roland CM-500
Other cards:
Asus PCI-SC200 PCI Fast SCSI-2 card
This card apparently came as an extra option with the Asus boards around this time.
Storage:
Mitsumi 5.25inch 1.2mb floppy drive
Panasonic 3.5inch 1.44mb floppy drive
IBM Ultrastar 10k rpm 18gig SCSI drive
MKE (Panasonic) 4x SCSI CD-RW *NEW*
Case:
Targa desktop "pizza box" case
Here's a benchmark I did with speedsys.
note: I hadn't installed the Diamond card yet when I did this benchmark
