I've been getting my pc collection organized a bit. i got a few socket 370 Celeron machines for free, but i recently acquired some better machines - so i saved the ram and hdds, and put the machines into storage.
Anyone have bad luck with "infineon" ram?
I've now had 2 sticks in 2 different machines, both so bad they refused to fully POST.
Took my gateway g6-266 and turned it into a file server, with 4 120GB hdds. Took a fan from a junk PSU and added it to the case to push air in, in addition to the PSU fan pulling air across the CPU out.
I also set up my G6-400 into a machine built for scanning photos right next to it. Dual monitors for the first time ever!
Then I added the netgear 24+4 switch and networked the two. After a minor bit of configuring the Tcp/ip and adapters, theyre now networked together.
The other bench has my G7-500 with wheel and pedals for Nascar Racing, and my IBM PC340. The P3 seems to run Nascar great with the tnt2m64 and the SB16Vibra. The IBM is running win95c/plus since it it has no USB ports, but i am starting to like the idea of downclocking the 100mhz and making it into a 486- equivalent with dos/win 3.11wfw. I have enough win9x machines the way it is.
And I have enough NICs that i put one in every machine. in a pinch i could just string a line and transfer anything i need. all.my larger HDDs have a backup partition that has a copy of OS install discs, so i can rebuild at will.
I swear the 3 boards I need to recap are going to get done someday. 🤣
At least its cleaner and morr organized. The Mrs. appreciates it.
