Anyone still remember the Abit BE6 setting for that all time favorite C300@450?

Or that ever famous buy.com 17" monitor classaction lawsuit? ( I still have that $15 check somewhere )

Edit: I meant BH6. (damn, I am getting old)
2nd Edit: It was 19" monitor. (what's the matter w/ me?)

 

[waggy]

i still have my Abit Be6 it was a pretty good board.

 

[Mojoed]

440BX chipset ftw!

I still have a working server with a P6-DGU Supermicro 440GX

No, but I remember setting the jumpers to get my Pentium 166 running at 200MHz on this POS Compaq I had lying around.

I also got a P4 1.6a into Windows at 2.6GHz on air, with PC800 RDRAM and no divider options. Stable at 2.4. I know that's not exceptional, but the funny thing about it was that I couldn't get it any higher than 2.2 stable in my Antec case, then I switched to a case that my roommate won at a LAN party and suddenly the sky was the limit.

TimeKeeper indeed.

I think I joined right around the celeron 300 -> 550 era.

man those old P4. 1.6a were great. i remember a few people claiming 3gig with them.

i kept mine at around 2.0-2.4. even though it seemed stable at 2.4.

don't think i have seen a chip since the 1.6a that was as overlcockable.


edit: come to think of it i remember people rebadging the 1.6a as higher cpu's and selling them. didn't a few online shops get busted for that?

 

[uhohs]

did my memory fail me? i though bh6 was the super popular one for cel300a's

i got a bx6rev.2 instead though.

This chip probably would have done 3GHz with water/phase-change cooling.

That 2.6 figure was with the stock Intel cooler, but in a well-ventilated case.

1.6a FTW, no doubt.

damn, beat me to it.

I never got my check.

 

[imported_Baloo]

I built 3 pcs with Abit BH6 boards. two of which started as 300a's clocked at 450.

I thought most of people place an order got their check?
I didn't cash it, because I don't feel I actually earned it.

 

[purbeast0]

but who's keeping time/track?

<--- looks at OP's name.

oh, nevermind.

Celly 550 for me. Not long after I did the athlon 700 .
I know I started late, but w/e.

 

[natto fire]

I miss my Cyrix 233 with 32 MB of RAM. I was not much of an overclocker when I joined here, but it is funny to think how my computer has improved since then...

 

[Nerva]

ok old timer.

hah had one of those myself. had it in my bedroom (well i had a studio so the whole place was a bedroom) and it kept my room warm in the winter LOL

 

[TimeKeeper]

nah... we are not talking about when we started OC.
Just the time almost everyone here talking about....

or my first experience was P100 to 110mhz w/ little wire mod trick.

 

[FoBoT]

hi old guy

 

[shortylickens]

I was an anand lurker in 99 and a forum lurker in 01. Sometimes I wish I had joined back then just so I could be one of the LEET HAXORS.

Yes, I remember that stuff!

I even remember one of the people who hammered at Buy.com (and actually, IIRC, received the monitor in question). Funny, that monitor would be thrown to the curve today!

It's not even worth that much. Maybe it can be put on CL and have someone pick it up.

IIRC correctly I had an AT account sometime around that era, but after moving lost my old email account and forgot the password to the account. I didn't feel the urge to post again until 2004.

And yes, Celeron 300A @ 450MHz on Abit BX6 was great back then. I remember having a whopping 64MB of RAM

Before I even knew the Internet existed I played around on my dad's Tandy 1000. 286 processor and 30MB hard drive FTW!
