doubles as a living room computer and a fileserver...still runs fine to this day

 

[AMCRambler]

Is that Windows 98? Ewwwwwwwww!

 

[Chaotic42]

I had a dual Celeron 333, but I sold it. I've got an old dual 2800 in the closet gathering dust.

 

[nightowl]

Well for Windows to recognize both CPUs it would have to be at least a NT based version so I am going to guess Win2k for the OS. As for something older, I have a dual P2 400 that still works. Granted, I have it in pieces right now.

 

[Agentbolt]

Since my new C400 replaced my beloved C2D machine, I've become very, very fond of P3s. Excellent little processors. Too bad you can't throw two in a laptop.

This a Linux box I use for all sorts of nefarious things.

There's a dual-PIII system in the kitchen holding some miscellaneous files, but I believe it's slightly newer than the OP's.

1 Dual PIII 500 with a Tyan Tiger MB and 2 Gigs running Windows 2000 Server.

 

[PottedMeat]

I kinda wish I had one of those dual 486 servers.

Shouldn't you be running S@H or F@H with that box?

WinME had the same icons as Win2k, could be either.

Why would someone run 9x on an SMP system?

How about this?

Tyan S1668-D with (2) 200MHz Pentium Pro 200 (1MB cache!) with 256MB Burst EDO ECC ram! Windows NT SP6. DPT Millennium SCSI RAID with 9 9.1GB Cheetah hard drives in RAID5. It has more miles on it than the Hubble Telescope and still works!

 

[nweaver]

I had an old Abit BP6 (if you look, I think that my first AT post was about it) with dual 333@550 celerons. That was pretty old school. Think I threw that board out earlier this year...up to that point I HAD been using it quiet a bit....


also have this box as an old file server...Compaq Proliant

Yep, that is 8 P3 550's....it's a tank of a machine, but I have a hard time getting rid of it, because the damn thing will run forever. We had 400+ days of uptime at one point. only 53 right now though (need to hook the UPS up to it again)

 

[sdifox]

I still have a Compaq Proliant 1600 running at work. It's from 1998 or 97 I am not sure.
I think there is 2 P2 400 in it...

PS The truly sad part is it has outlived many other servers (especially Dells). I miss the days where Enterprise Grade actually means Enterprise Grade.

 

[markgm]

I loved my old BP6 motherboard. I think it had 2 333s overclocked to 400. Those were the good old days!

 

[SearchMaster]

I still use a Gateway dual P2-400 machine as a fileserver running W2K Server. It was free and has never given me an ounce of trouble.

Yeah no sh1t, throw it on for team anandtech lol.

 

[SampSon]

We still have a two processor PII setup running at the office. It's slow.

Abit bp6. Celeron 333 oc'd to 605.

I had a Dual Pentium Pro 180 system with 256MB ECC EDO DIMMs a FireGL pci video card and about 30GB's of SCSI drives on it. It lasted me a good 5 years before I sold it to someone.

Dual PPro 200/1mb here. Running FreeBSD (console only) so no screenies .





EDIT: almost exactly the same as rubycon's:

:thumbsup:
I had the same but with 2 400's@575 (95 FSB, one of the cellys wouldn't run @ 600), 512mb RAM, 2 80gb HDs & an 8mb ATI card, running Win2k. I used it as a "NFS" type box for keeping back up copies of mp3s, data, old game & other misc files up until 2005 or so (it wasn't running 24/7), when I finally decided to use the case for something else (system was still going strong). I think people had some issues running XP on the BP6 - I wonder if anyone ever bothered to get it to work?

 

[zanejohnson]

for anyone still wondering..

of course it's win2k SP4 on that machine..best OS ever.
