Just ordered a new CPU and mobo

[micron]

I just ordered a 800Mhz t-bird and an MSI K7T PRO2 A. That should boost my keyrate! 😎

I picked up a Pro2-a Yesterday.
So far I really like it. The ATA100 controller is noticeably faster.

RAM 256 MB
OS Windows 98 4.10.2222 A

Area Tested Value
CPU Integer........... 4004.181 MIPS
CPU Floating Point.... 1646.901 MFLOPS
Video(2D).............. 175.3078 MPixels/s
Direct3D............... 592.0389 MPixels/s

on thursday i should be getting my duron 700 and an abit kt7(i was looking at the MSI, now i don't know which one to choose :confused😉

 

[micron]

I also got some Arctic Silver and a FOP32-1. How high do you think I can OC?

 

[toph99]

should hit 1ghz at 1.85V, but you never know 😉

Hi again Micron 😛

I have both a F0P32-1 and a F0P38 that I have been using.
The F0P32-1 works fine on a GHz TBird.
Suggestion, after you unlock the cpu run it at a 9.5 multiplier.
Then run it at a 106MHz bus and get the extra memory speed 🙂

Thanks SilverBack and congrats on 100K!

 

[SilverBack]

Thanks 🙂

Hehe. I also ordered a 800MHz duron, FOP32-1 and K7T Pro2A. 🙂

 

[JimMc]

Me too!

Except I went for a plain Pro2 to save a little and I have no real use for ATA 100, also kind of want a 133A before too long. Also got a Duron 700 and have a chorb.

OMG! Yesterday, I just bought a Duron 700, stick of Kingmax PC150, FOP32-1, blah blah, too. :Q I'm just missing the mobo, case, and a CD-ROM.

Guys - I know this is a little OT for this forum (and I've been vorciforously reading the posts in the CPU & mobo forums here), but where did you guys buy your K7T Pro2as?? I only saw one place featured yesterday on Pricewatch (and a better search of it produced a few others), but I know alot of these places may be out of stock.

'Preciate some recommendations.... 🙂

 

[Poof]

ACK! Yuckky double post! 😱

 

[JimMc]

Russ carries the Pro2A, but not the regular Pro2. Check here CompuCheap.

Thanks JimMc! I'd be able to support a TA member then, even if he is a Borg... 😉

 

[micron]

I got mine at Monarch Computer.

 

[JimMc]

His reseller ratings are incredible (HERE). Comments from customers are almost embarrassingly positive...Sometimes you'll find stuff listed cheaper on Pricewatch, but they usually screw you on shipping, don't always supply new products, no tech support, etc.

Thanks for the link Micron! I ended up ordering from Russ right after I saw JimMc's link. 😀

Looks like Russ has found a unique way of asslaminating people... 😉

And Jim - that IS an incredible rating he has!
