Is there anyone still using Dual /Quad /Octo Pentium !!!'s or Pentium !!! Xeons? Post away People!

Gold Leader

Hi all, I thought about making a topic about this here, since most of our P3's are modded or built neatly right, anyways the Pentium!!! CPU was probably the most favored CPU when it came to 2 -way - 4-way and 8 way CPU computing.

Anyways @ 2CPU.com we have a member that has an 8-way Pentium!!! Xeon 900Mhz 2MB L2 system running

Here the mobo as you can see it has slot 1 and 2 support

Here the system with all 8 suckers in there

And the boot post and man we all loved this one

Here the main thread from 2CPU member S2 Sedan which is also a gifted member here @ VA

I posted this here because I think 3dfx Voodoo Freund Andy would love to see some thing he reeally has interest in, since he is The Dual Pentium !!! Xeon user of VA right!

Nice idea making a dual PIII thread

I only have one dual PIII, but a dual P1 MMX, dual Xeon-LV aka Sossaman and a dual Celeron (via Abit BP6) machine runnig as well

The dual PIII is based on the Compaq AP550 Workstation Board (Intel i840 based) with 2 1GHz CuMines and 2GB PC800 RD-RAM

I will post Pics and full Specs later

OutOfRange

I'm also running a dual PIII 600 MHz system as my main 3dfx machine.
The beauty contains a V2 SLI set and is more or less built to run POD on it

The machine has been built from leftovers, so the second CPU is in there for absolute no good reason, it's just nonsens since the machine is using Win98SE, so I'm only about to burn some nuclear power for nothing.... lovely

Gold Leader

Post some pics guys, i'd really love to see them

Here's some screenshots from my Matrox Parhelia VGA card driver and some info about the CPU's

I own (but don't use) a IBM Server which is capable of using two PIII. I don't know if I'll add another CPU, probably not. At least as long as I don't get the second CPU for free/for cheap. Otherwise I would rather upgrade my Dual Athlon MP machine. Or get some 4-way server.

I'm also using a P3 Dual System.

2x 1.4Ghz P3 "Tualatin" on a Asus CUV4X-D.

Gold Leader

Post pics guys That would be sweetness Btw, didn't Hiero have a Dual P3 as well and didn't 3dfx Voodoo Freund Andy have a Dual P3 Xeon

Oh man! all these memories they are all coming back Whaaa Zaaaaaaaaa

S2 Sedan

Ahh, 8 Xeon´s, thats pretty cool. but I miss the AGP Slot on this board

I own 5 Dual PIII and one dual PIII/Xeon system

here my actually dual PIII Systems

Supermicro P3TDE6 / 2x1,4GHz PIII-S / 4x1GB Reg ECC SDR PC133
MSI PRO266TD Master-LR / 2x1,4GHz PIII-S / 4x512MB DDR PC3200 CL2
AOpen DX37 Plus-U / 2x1,4GHz PIII-S / 4x256MB DDR PC3200
Tyan Thunder 2500 / 2x1GHz Slot1 / 8x512MB Reg ECC SDR PC133
Intel OR840 / 2x1GHz Slot1 / 4x256MB PC800 Rambus

Wow, awesome Systems.

Und verstaut, die Ersatzteile, oder ein Zweiter im Karton

zeige mal was die 8 Xeon,s so alles können Everest

I've got 2 modified Tualatins running on the MSI 694D Pro 2, Rev 2.
I use it primary as a file server at home.

Gold Leader

Modified TUalatins hmmm ?

That sounds interesting

By modified, did you modify Celerons to Pentium3's or?

Turrican

No, you have to modify them in order to get them running on that board, i had the same.
Btw. the same applies to my CUV4X-D, as it wouldn't run Tualatin CPUs out of the Box.

Red = Kill Pin on CPU or preferrably in Socket or on Slotket.
Blue = Connect eg. with thin copper wire.

The connection between VSS, VID0, VID25 and VID2 is just for raising the core voltage, rest for compatibility to non-Tualatin-aware boards.

Haha that is wonderful! So by killing a Pin , would removing it mean the same thing? Seriously I never done such a thing, thus my knowledge on is low here

Hmm Makes me wonder if this mod can be applied to the ABiT VP6 it has the Via Apollo Pro 133 A chipset, mine has now a pair of 1000Mhz Pentium!!!/EB Coppermines

Even that it might be possible on my VP6, I just can't do it, the system has been with me for like 11 and a half years, so it's hard for me to decide to let it be modified, it's my first 2CPU build ever done ya know, so nah I prefer to keep it original.
And I don't think the speed increase will be large since mySDRAm might be the bottleneck for them 1400Mhz Procs, PC-1066 RDRAM would be the better choice I reckon.

Das Board ist von dir.

The board is from you.

Ah, yeah i know.

So, dann will ich mal meine i840 Workstation zeigen:

Das ganze basiert auf einem Compaq AP550 Board, samt proprietärem Netzteil, für das ich das Gehäuse erstmal zurechtdremeln musste, damits reinpasst

Verbaut ist des weiteren:
2x Intel P3 1000MHz FSB133
4x 512MB PC800 RAMBUS
Elsa Gloria-L
2x Gainward Dragon 3000 (V2 12MB SLI)
Intel U160 RAID Controller mit 32MB Cache
36GB 15k RPM SCSI Platte von Fujitsu
Pioneer Slot-In DVD-ROM

Wie man sieht, braucht das System gut Belüftung
Die ist auch bitter nötig, die Kiste wirft echt gut Hitze ab Aber rennt wie blöd das Teil

Sogar für heutige Verhältnisses ziemlich potent

I have a CUV4X-D with 4GB RAM and Modded 1.4GHz SL5BY Tualatins with 1.55v Vcore. I have a Beta Bios for the board that will recognize them correctly as Pentium 3-S will post pics soon.
