Hmmmm. The DX2G Plus supports the 5/12v Xeons with the onboard VRMs? Not a bad question. The manual does not mention voltages, but 5V instead of 2V for the PII Xeon is indeed a big difference. >edit< I did some browsing on the net, and on this old ArsTechnica thread forum they're complaining that …

The Xeons are in! They're refurbished HP stock, same as are found at this ebay auction , but I got them off a computer distribution store and at a better price (centralpoint.nl/.be). The large heatsinks are a bit of an issue for the first slot. The heatsink hits the three larger capacitors between …

I'm eagerly waiting for the two PIII Xeon 900/2MB to arrive, so in the mean time I can show off the unboxing of the Abit DX2G Plus mainboard.

Got a pair of Slot 2 Pentium III/900/100/2MB Xeon's for my upcoming Abit Slot 2 rig. Price was all right at about €70 euros for the two, as they're getting quite rare these days.

For at least 10 years my best friend is recalling the days we spent on Command & Conquer, being frustrated at our mid-90's computers being too slow to build the vast armies we needed to crush each other.

The build has to become the "ultimate" 2002 machine, just before the advent of the 800FSB PIV's and the disappearance of RDRam from the mainstream PC-business. I've got both the P4T533-C and the P4T533. Both boards still need testing, before I can decide which to go with. Next week, I'll get the 1GB …

Even if the Abit SI-7 accepts sticks of 1GB -PC4200, I don't think Samsung ever had them in production. The "normal' 16-bit RDRam sticks are found quite easily, although on ebay the price is about € 10 per GB, a price I'm willing to spend, seen that they will become more difficult to find as time …

At the end of 2002, I spent my hard earned pounds on the best motherboard available in the UK: the Asus P4T533(R). It uses 32-bit RDRAM, which only came in 256 MB strips, which meant that you maxed out on 512 MB with the two slots available. Although this reminded me of the ram bottleneck I …

Luckybob, your idea will indeed stress the system, but it will be a tad more difficult for us to impliment the same setup. I'd go with Feipoa's idea and install Windows 2000 SP4 + an instance of Photoshop CS. If we all work on the same raw image, we should get an idea of how well the SMP is being …

Bob, IIRC 440GX should also have two independant PCI buses Also, doesn't 440nx only support EDO ram? This is a quite shady chipset (at least for me) The 440NX doesn't exist, as far as my knowledge goes. I guess you mean the 450NX that came out in 1998 for four-way 100Mhz systems and which did …
