** Cruncher #2 (another XP1600) up and running! :)

[Engineer]

Well, finally got #2 up and running. Discovered that I was running it in SDRAM mode instead of DDR...so BOTH are on DDR mode now...(I don't know why the other even booted in SDR mode...but it ran fine...)...hopefully, see some faster results with DDR on!

Getting around 4 hours 50 minutes.......

I installed Win98 on both....because of driver ease...but I may search and install Win2k later

more...more...more...more....more^more! :Q

WoooooHooooo...can't wait...more..more..more!




I built both of the systems for about $350 US shipped. I already had old harddrives, CD-ROM's and floppys....but I got the cases for $25.00 each shipped (400W PS), the video cards for $21.50 each shipped (SIS305 - 32Meg AGP), the CPU/MB combo with heatsink and fan (with built in sound and 10/100 LAN - DDR or SDRAM) for $94.99 each + about $11.00 each shipping and insurance.....

Can't complain too much when adding a cruncher of XP1600 for around $175 each!

Now to find a place in the house to put them so that the wife doesn't complain!
