I've finally been able to do some rounds of testing: p233 dual HX results Cachechk W: 92,9 Cachechk R: 88,2 Speedsys Throughput: 85,42 Speedsys R: 80,73 Speedsys W: 85,31 Strangely, the writing speed is higher than the read speed. The system beats my dual Ppro Overdrive on these memory write results …

This board will go upto 333mhz pentium2. And maybe faster celeron chips but not sure. Intel boards just take stock cpu's no overclocking but rocksolid. Don't know if the slot1 to socket370 converters wil work in this board. Any Celeron up to the 533 (not the 533A) should work, without having to …

Question on Asus PCI/I-P54NP4

I have a working Asus PCI/I-P54NP4 with dual Pentium 133's in the two Socket 5. The manual only mentions 90 and 100 Mhz Pentiums, which is logical seen that this board has the old 430NX chipset and there was not yet any sighting of the 120,133 and 150 MHz cpu's. Still, the board came with 133 MHz …

In an older thread of mine, I mentioned a Tyan Dual Socket 7 board I had. Due to the lack of a decent AT-power supply, I never got round to testing it. Now that I've found some time and space to relish in my hobby, I tried the Tyan with 128 megs of EDO ram, in 4 of the 8 simm slots. The mainboard …

Nothing's too wrong with Via chipsets for that era, but Intel chips tend to perform better on all levels.

I think it's just the capacitor next to the connector, looks like a tantalum cap which are prone to failure when they get this old. I'd suggest replacing all the caps on the board and trying it again. Thanks for the info. I'll put it on the pile "to do" for now; it'll take a lot of time and effort …

I dug up this 80386 board with a Headland chip on it from my attick. After removing dust and inspecting it for any damage, I decied to give it a go and pluggied an AT power supply in it. Lo and behold, fireworks arose from the power suplly connectors. Any chances of reparing the damage caused?

Afaik it should work. i820 boards with rimms are not that bad and were made with 133Mhz cpu's in mind. It's difficult finding a good slot 1 mobo that does 133 native. The boards you should avoid are the i820+MTH+Sdram combination, they are not stable.

Hey Feipoa, glad I have been of assistance. I got the board off a Dutch forum, check www.tweakers.nl. It came with both tualatins installed and the 2 gig of ram. I had the 2*256 lying around, and stuck them in as well. The board has worked without hiccups since I've had it. I paid 50 euro for it, if …

No adaptec controller is complete without a SCSI drive, so I recently purchased an old 10k drive, which should be coming in this week. I'll set up the TX and see if I can boot off a 29160.

Mainboard is a Supermicro P3TDE-6. It's made for turning it into a SCSI monster, but I don't have SCSI drives, unfortunately.
