welcome! I always give a thumbs up to dual cpu setups! I do want to ask why you chose W7 and not XP.

I had Windows XP Home edition that doesn't support SMP.

I receive the packet yesterday and couldn't wait to find Windows XP Pro

By the way with Windows 7 Ultimate its working fine...Beast...

I am waiting to get 2GB RAM (4 x 512MB PC133) , 120GB SSD, PCI Sata Adapter , 2 x waterblocks and a new PC Case with window...

omg what a pc, nice.
Have other question 2xCPU + 2X PCIe motherboard's exist?

My newst buy, a Aopen AX59 Pro with VIA MVP3. I have installed this big Socket A CPU cooler on the AMD K6-III+ 500ANZ!

I ran a K6-3/500mhz system once a long time ago.... the ultimate space heater it was, no joke.

I have several Pentium 4 systems that are space heaters.

Just got this cute GX110 for free recently, came without expansion cards (empty riser card) and WinXP install. I've done some upgrades to make it a retro gaming PC.

Specs:
Pentium III Coppermine 933MHz
256MB PC133 SDRAM
CT6760 Voodoo Banshee 16MB PCI (with cooling mod)
CT4830 SB Live! Value
80GB WD Hard Drive

I had to mess around a while with the IRQ settings in the BIOS to get the sound card to work, but it came out nice in the end.

The K6-II+ or III+ was manufactured in 180 nm and runs much cooler than the original K6-II or III with 250 nm (both without +). My 500ANZ also does 600MHz with 1,95V VCore and runs very cool. It will not even run warm under Prime 95 load.

The + version was special produced for embedded systems or the mobile market.

Welcome, also, nice machine.

those logitech mice are really comfortable

Here's one of my favorite PIII systems; the Dell Inspiron 8100. This particular one has a 1GHz Pentium IIIM (Tualatin), and a 32MB Nvidia GeForce2Go.

This 8100 I actually got very recently as a replacement for my old 8100 that was kind of falling apart. I'm running a Windows XP/2000 dual-boot on this thing.

This machine also has a 1600 x 1200 display! It's one of my favorite features about these. I love the Inspiron 8000 series. They are just fantastic machines. Don't be fooled by the "Inspiron" brand name; these are just Latitudes in an Inspiron shell. I've actually heard people refer to these as "lower-end" or "budget" machines on several occasions, but that is not the case at all. A fully featured one of these 8100s was almost $3,000. Again, this is just a Latitude C810 in an Inspiron shell.

oh man my dad had one and the battery on it never worked right though

I have 4 Pentium 4 laptops that have Radeon Mobile 7500 or 9000 prospectively:

1) IBM ThinkPad R40 (Pentium 4-M 2GHz, Radeon 7500 16MB)
2) 2x Dell Inspiron 600m (Celeron, Radeon 9000 32MB & Centrino, Radeon 9000 32MB)
3) Dell Latitude D600 (Centrino, Radeon 9000 32MB)

My Dad used to have one too! That’s I actually why I initially got one again, but then It turned out to be a really great mobile vintage machine for me!

Cool! While we’re on the subject of Pentium 4 laptops, here’s one I dearly love. The Dell Inspiron 8200! This is the updated version of the 8100. Notice those cool silver palm rests!

This particular one has a 1.8GHz Pentium 4 Mobile, and an ATi Radeon 9000 64MB graphics card! It’s my primary Windows XP machine, and man does it run XP well!

Mine also has what Dell called their “UltraSharp” display. It’s the same 1600 x 1200 resolution, but it’s brighter, has a wider viewing angle, and a higher contrast ratio than their standard UXGA display. I got lucky with this 8200, because it’s basically a top-end model. Someone definitely payed an arm and a leg for this thing when it was new!

I just love the Inspiron 8000 series laptops. They’re just fantastic in my opinion.

Wish I can find something like that. All of my displays are 1024x768 native, however, I can hook it up to an LCD monitor for better viewing. Even my ThinkPad R40 has a ThinkLight above the display that can light up the keyboard, ThinkPoint, and trackpad in the dark, and I have the ThinkPoint set to scroll in an X, Y, or Z pattern in Windows XP.

The one Dell Inspiron needs a new hard drive (crapped out again) and the ThinkPad R40 is going to need a new one as well, however, it still works (thinking about an SSD alternative, such as mSATA to IDE), and replace all of the laptop IDE drives with SSD.
