Maybe mine was an OEM model? Strange, as it came from a retail case. Mine has iirc only solder dots, oh well. Btw, I've been working on the new Tualatin rig, but so far had no luck in cloning ME though I'm getting close...I think? If this trick works, it would be awesome! I even recommissioned an …

@Tetrium: limitless... I like the sound of that! Is this the seller you know? http://cgi.ebay.nl/AMD-K6-III-400-SOCKEL-7-BOARD-up-600-MHz-OVERCLOCK-BAR-/200636925616?pt=DE_Elektronik_Computer_CPUs&hash=item2eb6e486b0 This one has a quite low TDP, looks promising to run at 6x75 @ 2.1V.

It's absolutely ideal for working with computers! 100 meters, cheap, it works and the metal thingy is used to snip off bits of your desired length :D Is that weed trimmer …

I'd say it sounds pretty good. The V1 may be more appropriate for a P166 indeed, but just consider the extra 66Mhz as extra 😉 I don't know about cacheable area on the VIA's though.

The K6-2+, K6-III and K6-III+ basically make your cacheable area limitless ;) The K6-III desktop model seems to be hard to find but the mobiles can be had cheaply (I know one seller who sells K6-3+/400 ATZ 1.6v (can be oberclocked/overvolted) for under €10 each). Yes, the motherboard cache will …

The 6x multi is actually the easiest to find: It's exactly the same as the 2x multi! K6-2's made with the CTX core (which otherwise is a minor revision of the standard K6-2 core) accept the 2x multi, but accept it as 6x instead of 2x. Basically, put a K6-2/400 in your rig (with correct voltage), set …

I'd say stick with the SLI. Having 1024x768 is a good benefit ;) About the K6-300, I think your mobo supports all 8 Super 7 multi's, so using a K6-2 (which for all practical purposes is identical to the 2.2v K6) shouldn't be much of a problem. Only thing is to find out which jumpers represent which …

Tetrium I would say for that era go a ati9800 pro or xt! (the more processing power the better, right?) they are harder to find but are well worth the extra money and effort. By the way nice system...64 bit goodness... I know, but I probably won't be playing any games on it, strange as it sounds. …

Ok I admit, it's raining nonstop here and I was bored :P. So I took a pic of some heatsinks to show the evolution of HSF sizes as they went from Socket 3 all the way to Socket 462 while remaining compatibility with a CPU socket of the same size original PB link that is broken as of 2017 http://i1187 …

Some sockets don't even have mounting tabs. ^True^ And none I've seen have the middle ones, limiting one to only using the wire clip (or in theory a clip for 3 notches + heatsink). I've been thinking of taking pics of contemporary heatsinks, but have no "reason" to do so except for showing the …
