There are two cores. The older chips don't have a fully completed design and perform slower which is why the PR rating equals the clock speed. But they are mostly the same CPU. If they could have managed more clock speed they would have been excellent competition but they topped out quickly and …

Thanks for the VERY informative posts you 3 ;) I don't know anything about electrical engineering and stuff like that, glad theres people here around who know about that stuff from which I can learn a couple things! :D Yes, I suppose the high IO voltage is slowly killing the "desktop" Tillamooks. …

Odd looking PSU, dunno yet if a standard will fit without some hacking yet. We'll see how things go Those Astec PSUs are pretty close to bulletproof... way overbuilt. The low amperage on the 12V line isn't that unusual for older OEM PSUs, and it does have 30A available on 5V, so it'd be a prime …

That's the price a lot of sellers want to charge. Between 30 and 60 USD per stick. I wasn't willing to pay that, it seemed too high to me. I wouldn't pay that much either. I was lucky to have been gifted a few sets of 16MB 30p SIMM modules or I wouldn't have bothered in the first place, due to the …

What a great idea for a post! I decided to take a slightly different approach to label items in the photos. Why are these photos not displayed live in the thread (and need to be click downloaded)? I thought I was being clever to select 1024x768 as I saw others of this resolution that displayed live …

Thats an excellent deal! I payed 2x16MB with pure gold two years ago (well, actually it was about 50e...)! That's the price a lot of sellers want to charge. Between 30 and 60 USD per stick.

Paper tape is conductive? If it's not, it's very cheap anyway 😉 I might go test this with a regular MMX chip first before I put my Tillamooks to the test.

The final 2 servers I've gotten are very similar and are only different in the parts that were in them. The 2 cases are identical and appear to be standard ATX inside while looking server-ish from the outside. I haven't checked if theres any proprietary hurdles waiting for me, but from 1st glance …

Heres the second case. It's pretty much a broken casing. It has the kind of "roof+sides are 1 piece" way of opening it up, and it can't be "clicked back into place" because probably some of those little thingies are broken. When I took these pics I heard a little bit rumbling around (somekind of …

First the pics of the really large server. The front panel seems to have broken, so it keeps dropping away, so to say. Theres nothing holding it in position anymore, previous owner must've broken off some of those "KeepMeInPlace" thingies. The front of the case looks bad-ass imo, but I don't think …

For tests that are only temporally, I usually use the copper wire method. You need a good eye and a steady hand, but it works. There are also conductive pens that should make this pretty easy. I have no idea if it'll work, but it's worth a try. I might give it a shot tomorrow. Not sure if I find …
