The Holly Inquisition strongly condemns the words of heresy. Joking aside. That PC is shaping great. The Oxygen card gives it a graphics workstation flavor which is neat. The nice thing about NT4 it that it's pretty lite! (Runs extremely well!) I will install 3D studio Max R3 onto the system and …

Well, in the ideal world, that's 400 MHz of computing power in the two 200 PPros ... And that board is downright sexy! Will it take ODs as well? As far as I know it does accept Overdrives, but in this case I'll stick with the PPros, As I already have a system fitted with an Overdrive. Here's an …

I want to use one of these Thermaltake Level 20 cases for this build, as it will show off the hardware nicely. (Especially if off-white in-case lighting is used! NO RAINBOW COLOURS - I simply can't stand RGB lighting!!!!!!!!) It has the right number of card slots to accommodate this mother board. (A …

NT4's as boring as hell (as nothing seems to run in it) so I tried Windows 2000 professional, but it's not happy with the driver for the Dynamic Pictures Oxygen 202, so I'm unfortunately going to be reverting to NT4!!! :( While I had 2000 installed I managed to get an ATTO disk benchmark in, and the …

I've just realised that this motherboard has a serious limitation in that the RAM bank situated below the CPU card limits the number of full-length cards you can have slotted!!!! https://i.imgur.com/RSLSl4r.jpg One way to get around this is to give the system its full complement of 512MB (as this …

The weapon of choice as far as the motherboard goes is an ASUS P/I-P65UP5 Baseboard with a C-P6ND CPU card! https://i.imgur.com/oJElVHp.jpg It's now powered with one of these fully modular 750W Power Supplies: (It will suit the case that I plan to purchase for this system!) https://i.imgur.com/ …

It sort of is: a Pentium III Xeon 2MB L2 version. To have Slot 2 is very rare nowadays, still have my Asus XG-DLS with dual large cache PIII Xeons. Something for me to maybe aim for in the future! (As far as I know, the SGI Visual Workstation 540 can slot four of these beasts!!!) I already have a …
