Re: Floppy machine

So next task is getting the disks? Yup, at a decent price of course. That and relearning how to mess with SCSI in these old machines. I always struggled with it on my 486s for some reason. Here's some eyecandy since I haven't uploaded a picture in a while and I finally got my adapter. http://img268 …

Omg weren't those SCSI drives hella expensive? Anyway, NICE FIND!! YES. They are very expensive as a rule. That's why I jumped on this one as soon as I found it... I kinda took a chance too, there was only one picture of it and that one wasn't even close to visible. Anyway, I got it (ordered online …

I finally have an update to the Floppy Machine project. I just acquired a 2.88 MB TEAC floppy drive (SCSI via adapter), but I'm still deciding which computer to install it into (probably need one with an ISA bus for my SCSI card). It's the TEAC FD235J with the original manual and mount.

Over time I've used pretty much every windows compatible browser (and some that weren't), and I constantly come back to IE, Chrome, and dispite it's many let downs and overhype FF. Infact, there were only a few browsers that I didn't like at all, so all in all, I'd say that this issue is built …

After installing Win98SE on a different hard drive, I managed to get it to boot all the way at 1.6GHz. I wasn't feeling very ambitious so instead of installing drivers, I just switched back to WinXP at 1.52GHz. I thought that was worth a mention. Anyway, it gave me some ideas for tweaking the ram …

PS there is a thread on xtremesystems where a guy has that board and tualatin, and he has set some records for that proc with it, maybe you could PM him there and get his settings. Thanks for the tip! I'll have to look that one up. :) Yeah I got 1TB on it, but I collect older games and I play tons …

You could upgrade that video card to a 256mb 6800 ultra or so and get much better scores. But I think you like the card you have. Yes and no. The only AGP 6800 ultra I have is in a P4 killer (that I still have to get around to working with again) and it's hooked up to a liquid cooling system so it …

I'd be curious to see what kind of 3dmark 2000 and 2001SE scores you get. I didn't miss this post, I just took forever to get 3dmark 2001se on my machine. I had a mild stability problem so I increased the voltage to 1.5 from 1.45 and it's running smoothly at 1.52GHz at the moment. I ran the tests …

Good work on building a complete Tualatin. I gave up after looking for a decent board for a week. Then low and behold one slipped by me, an Asus Tualatin board WITH a PIII-1.26Ghz Tualatin included (sold for £8.00 on ebay, free postage). Awe man that stinks. Though I've had stuff like that happen …

At this point, the highest I got the FSB to launch at was 148 for 1.55GHz. Not sure if the board or cpu is a dud, or if it's because I have a pci sound card and pci network card installed... suppose that could be it. Something else I don't totally understand, I went back to the 1.52GHz (I optimized …

My first intent with this build was to gain experience with the legendary tualatin cpu and the almost as famous GA-6OXET-C motherboard. At first I considered this a dream, but then I caught these parts dirt cheap (well the cpus are usually cheap if you trust shipping from china. No offense ment …

Would this be faster than a single core Atom based netbook? Should be right? Well, I was a bit curious about this myself. The Intel Atom is a much newer chip though and 130nm vs 45nm and 133MHz FSB vs 533MHz FSB doesn't look good for the PIII. That's pretty good! ~ the speed of a single core …

I nudged the FSB to 145 and hit 362.6 @ 1.52GHz. That should suffice for OC benchmarking until I get a copper heatsink/fan. Still, in light of everything, I think my lil' tualatin benched pretty well. Edit: Cleaned up the hard drive a little more and rebenched it to 378 @ 1.52GHz.

It's running great so far, very compatible, smooth (mostly), and I've only started to have problems with OCing when I push it past the 145 FSB and don't boost the voltage. Too bad I can't change the multiplier on these chips. I was lucky enough to get this board (and another one that's VIA chipset …

My First Tualatin System

Posted on 2011-07-21, 00:26

Finally got around to making a Tualatin computer. I kinda missed out on this due to the simple fact that by the time out family was willing to buy a new computer the pentium notburst (oops sorry, I ment "netburst") had squeezed these off the commercial market and the only real option was the Athlon …
