It has 2x SIMM & 2x DIMM sokets, AGP, 3x PCI, and 3x ISA.
I have 4 CPUs for it, a P90, P100, P233, and the K6.
I had to visit Classic Platforms to figure out how to hook up the AT PSU.
Here's a pic of it running.
omg Jesse, that thing ran the space shuttle?

lol,

I've got the P100 in it downclocked to 90 MHz.
I went into bios and disabled both caches, and anything else that looked like it might help performance, including loosening ram timings.
I have prime95 running at high priority, 500 loops of linX at normal priority (I think), Task Manager open at below normal, and SuperPi at low priority.
After 27 hrs, it has run through 87 loops of LinX. I should be good for about 140 hrs total. I'm hoping Spi finishes before then.
This thing in stock form runs Spi 16k in about 10 secs.

Ahh damn that is a serious work load for a single core.

You know what would REALLY kill it...

Load up a flash website heh heh

lol,
Actually space shuttles/aircrafts do run on primitive hardware, (though the cost still run into millions) because 100% stability is the concern and the exorbitant cost is just for absurd level of quality checks.

damn chuch you are telepathic mate, get out of my head



Always happy to give back to you guys and we have some pretty generous dudes here.
The cpu is cherry, I will be more than happy to help you ramp it up and give settings help.


Guys please try to win this, its anyones game. You are looking at more than 1k worth of goodies. We chose a bench that takes tweaking skill as well as clocking skill. You will need to do your research for sure


(goes to delete submission so I can participate )

I think its only fair to give you guys a few details right now.

There will be a maximum speed of somewhere between 4-5GHz and we will allow only water or air on the board/cpu. As for hardware restrictions, you will be able to use any cpu/mobo/ram/gpu combo you wish as long as it is only ambient cooled and your cpu does not exceed our limit. All of you will also be required to use our desktop background and have a photo of your bench rig with the monitor with that desktop in the background. We will have run sims with our best iterations, so we will know what to look for to keep everyone flying straight...not that we feel it will become an issue with our boys, but this is a big deal and we realize whats at stake.
Also there will be TWO benchmarks and your scores will be added, so the lowest overall time takes the trophy. To mix it up, we will be offering a added prize for the overclocker who holds the top spots the longest during the contest, so don't sandbag or procrastinate. I will expand on all of the details on Sunday.

Same rig for both benches? (Not that it will be an issue for me, I doubt my AMD setup will have any chance of competing LOL)
