Installing Windows Updates on an old k6-2 300 is taking longer than it did to install win2k

Haha, Socket 7 FTL

Well it's not just copying files, it's finding, then updating, then verifying them. Takes a little longer I suppose, if it has to do a lot of them.

K6-2 FTW

Oh, and it might just be the archaic hard drive you know...

 

[d33pt]

why do you even bother?

You're tellin me. Only having 64MB of ram doesn't help either. swapfile with an old 4500rpm Quantium Fireball FTL.

finally, it is fvcking done. now i got to disable services to see if i can get the ram usage down.

got win2k's memory usage down to 53MB

It's for XP but it applies to 2k also. Win2k is easier to get the memory usage down though because it has a lot less services running to begin with.

I had a K6-3/400 @ 450 for 3 years. Awesome machine.

The K6-3s were pretty cool. I had a K6-3 Mobile which I had overclocked to 600MHz. :Q

I had always wanted to get one of the new(at the time) K6-2/3+ and overclock.

Even with the move down to .18 microns.. the core design just did not ramp clockspeed well. But when I was a hardware junkie, I loved that sh!t.. wringing the last bit of performance out of a platform...

Perhaps he meant one of the newer K6-2/3+'s?

Cuz yeah, 600MHz with the K6-3 was pretty hard to obtain.

But they sure did offer some awesome performance at the time. At least with integer calculations.

 

[Shawn]

Yeah, it was a K6-3+. It would crash after about an hour though. I think it was just overheating. I don't remember the details anymore.

www.blackviper.com used to be the place to check it out, but it's down now. Go to http://majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=12 for a good list.
