My wifes' aunt and uncle got a brand new Dell, and had me put it together for them. As "payment" they told me I could have it. Well after some fooling with it, I blew something up and it would no longer work. My dad came thru with another mobo, cpu and stick of memory he had laying around and now I'm back in business. Heres the specs:
Celeron 1.3Ghz /100mhzFSB
128MB PC133
Mobo is some kind of Asus with a Sis630 chipset, onboard video only (unless I want to use PCI, but I don't)
8Gb WesternDigital HDD (old n' slow but works)
Lite-DVD drive I had laying around
Crappy 15" CRT
My dad also gave me a copy of this "Linspire 5.0" operating system. Actually pretty slick, except I can't get a software DVD player for without paying 50 bucks.
I'm thinking of picking up a cheap 256mb or even 512mb stick of PC133 from Newegg to replace the 128MB thats' in there.
Does anyone know how I can get a DVD player on there?
Also one time when I set the FSB/DRAM speed both to 133, it booted up at 1.733Ghz - think it can take it or is that to much for a 1.5v Celeron?
I'm considering turning it into a car machine. Its' a mATX board with onboard video, so I should be able to get a small/low profile mATX case for it. It has a 56K modem in there right now, but if I were to put it in the car, I would remove it so the power consumption should be pretty low.
Well there you have it. Any ideas what I can do with this thing?
