13000 posts! Congratulations Eli! :beer:

Yes, but you can get an entry level 1700+ mobo/cpu combo for like $100. Just get one that has PC133 slots on it.

Or save up $150 and get DDR.

Eli wil be all set. I'm sending him some old idle stuff I have that should be a nice improvement over what he has now. No more K6's for Eli!

Because I'm still using Socket-7 and it's supposed to be the fastest S7 cpu made.

I may have an outdated system, but I'm still a computer hardware enthusiast.

NOES! A lifer without atleast a giger? You should be ashamed. DONT BUY IT DUDE! seriously, its neat and all that but you could buy this at NEWEGG for $66 and it comes with a cpu fan and a 3 year warranty. It is almost 4 times as powerfull. after that all you need is a board and ram. You could easily get that cheap. Get a budget board like the k7s5a or something. Or maybe this, it has intergrated geforce2 which is probably an upgrade. And here is a stick o ram that would work very well with that setup. Hope that helps

He will soon be the proud new owner of a Iwill KK266-R, Duron 850mhz @ 1Ghz (266mhz FSB), and 384mb of CL2 PC133. Not the fastest, but better than what he has now.

BTW, I have the legendary Asus P5AB sitting in my closet with a k6-2 333. I am planning on making it a networked divx rig for the livingroom. Aught to be fun!

But now who are we going to use for our "At least my computer blows away X's"? I mean, 850 isn't that slow.

Stupid Eli.

Pretty much. If he has the means, he can pay me $25 whenever he can, otherwise, yes...it's free.

Hey! I think that is the board I threw away with the K6-III...it was legendary???

I'm not an Asus fan...so it gave me satisfaction throwing it away...so meh.

 

[Chaotic42]

I'm thinking about modding my Tyan S2460 to get it to work (the power connecter burned), but I'm not willing to rish the money for a new proc on it.

Oh, well.

The P5AB was a very good socket 7 that was very legendary. It was like the K7S5A of the socket 7 days. Ah those where the good ol days. When a computer was judged by its software, not the hardware.

Ah, I remember the Super 7 days. I had an Abit AX5 (Socket 7) then moved to an Abit BX6 2.0 (440BX). That was a badass board.

I miss it.

Now I have my AX5 with K6-200, BP6 with dual Celeron 333s, my defunct Tyan Tiger MP, and my Gigabyte GA-7DPDWX-P (or whatever the hell it's called).

I miss 1997-2001. Those were good computer times.

That's a damn good deal on the parts for $25. While they may be "obselete" by todays standards, 850mhz is still very usable for the majority of common uses. (my second system is only a tbird 800)

I know someone that's using some of my old parts in a system still that's worse than what Eli has. pcchips m571, k6-2/400 (66x6), onboard sis 4mb video, onboard sound, 128mb pc100. Something like that is almost impossible to upgrade without buying a new case.

Dang you beat me too it.

I was gonna say if he ever makes in down to Eugene I have a Tbird 850 and a MSI KT7 Pro-2 just sitting here collecting dust!

I also have a 1 gig celeron I'm not going to use.

Yeah. Actually, the Duron is unlocked, and runs 1Ghz, 133mhz FSB no problemo. It should be quite an improvement over the K6...

That much of an increase in speed is really amazing. Its like a new level more like era of computing. I started out with a 486 33 with nothing on it. No sound no cdrom im talking nothing. I got it when I was 9 and from there I upgraded that like a mofo. 64 whopping megs of ram (much better then the 16 it came with). put a 2 gig hard drive in it. BLAZING fast 24x cdrom. one of those brand new 33.6 modems. And I slapped a 100mhz processor in it. oh and I put a 2 gig hard drive in it. And I had almost no help. Everything I did I had to teach myself. After that I got an athlon 1.4ghz and the day that thing fired up I almost shat myself on the speed. No one I knew had something as fast as I did at the time.

Eli you will definately asl yourself why didnt you do it sooner.
