[FAD] A new cow is born

[win2kuser]

I got the new cow up and running

Asus A7V333
2.1 XP TBred running at 2.2 - anyone know what this would be in equivelent real terms?
256 DDR 2700

This is a dedicated cruncher, the trade of though is that I have to shutdown a couple of others (as per the wifes STRICT instructions ) the total for those shutdown is less than 800MHz, so I am still crunching with more power

I have tried overclocking the FSB, but if I take it above 133, it wont post but I have lifted the multiplier to 16.5 @133 without problem - running rock solid at 52c. Would flashing/upgrading the BIOS give me added oc'ing options?

Off to a flying start - 1f45-q2 sloooow Worthwhile though as my Mother in law has MS.

Congratulations of the strenth of this team though - fastest growing and producing I believe - Hopefully this cow will help

sounds good, win2kuser.

MORE cpu power is ALWAYS better

Glad to hear it!

w2k, 133x16.5 will offer just as much to Fad if not more then 166x13 (2.16) so I don't know if it's worth it..

Glad to hear yer up and running, those XP2100's are great for a simple OC (I'll be getting another one to upgrade my wifes) those will be traded for 2 k6's going down(900 slow Mhz acceptible trade ))

Funny thing is the new PC will use less power then the others combined.

big thumbs up

Congrats on the new cow I just add 1 cow, it's my brother's computer, a 1 GHz Celeron.. not the greatest, not the worst, it's all good

not totally stable but crunching on my new xp1700 epox 8rda
512mb cheap samsung ram to keep up with you. i just got twenty jobs in queue 1d8d-q2 and 1f45-q2 is all it gave me. will do some tweaking tomorrow let it crunch for the night.

Ya'll can send me yer' old processors!

It'd allow me to upgrade some of my old slow cows!

Harder

What do you need ? How old is old??

I was just joking Auntie!!

But, since ya' asked how old is old . . . . . .

166MHz Cyrix -- is the oldest!
233MHz PII
266MHz PII

The Cyrix and the 233 PII are only crunchers and I will be giving them to my Great-Nephews this summer. The 266 PII is my server and that's more than fast enough for what it does. The rest of my boxes range from:

733MHz PIII - Tweetybird (daughter)
800MHz Athlon - Wolverine (mine)
950MHz Athlon - Girlfriend2 (daughter)
1.3GHz Athlon - Bigman (son)

So, as you can see, I'm not doing too bad when it comes to power!! I do have a couple customer's computers that I have permission to run [FAD] on as well (333MHz and 400MHz Celerons). And my sisters 366MHz K6-2!

Now, all ya' gotta do is figure out how I'm racking up the molecules and points at the rate I'm doing it!

Harder

BTW, I still intend on upgrading 2-4 of the main ones sometime this year as money comes available. 2 new Mobo's, 2-3 Athlons, and switching to DDR in those machines. Probably build Boss Lady from parts after the upgrades.

Glad to hear it, win2kuser! I'm a one-comp cruncher, but no worries I'll have more up and running in the coming months or years
