October 27, 1999

I now have over 1Gig of proccessing power. I have both my 366es OCed at 550 now. That is 1100MHz. Of course You do not get that kind of real performance, but it sure is fun telling people that. I have only had one lock up in NT 4 SP5 in past couple of days. I am running RC5 24/7 and the CPU voltage are set to 2.2v. My proccessors are kinda warm at 42 degrees celisus, but they are a lot cooler then the 60 degrees celisus I was running.

I found out my problem was that the older ABit BP6 Mother boards with the metal ZIF Socket lever had a problem withe levers sticking up to high. I did not notice this but the meant that my Heatsink was sitting slanted on top of my CPU. This basicly meant no cooling. I got some pliers bent the bastards and put my brand new Alpha's into my brand new Super Micro SC750A and I got it going NT at 550 a piece. That is pretty cool. I will update my OC and Celron links when I get the chance. Me and my friends aer going to have a LAN party at me house and play some GTA2, and maybe some Delta Force or Quake3Test. I have to go find my Hub first.

October 15, 1999

It is time to start my hardware page. I just sold my PIII 450 to a friend. I was going to upgrade to a PIII 500 or an AMD Anthlon(sp) 500 but instead I came accross the the Abit BP6 Dual Celron board. I decided that this was my best chance for some SMP lovin and some OCing experience.

I am currently burning in one of the 366es I bought in hope of acchieving a 550 Celron 366 for $50. I will add an OC section on my journey on reacing Dual 550. It would be sweet to tell some one you have a Gig worth of proccessing power in your box.


My Story

I like to build, play, and fix (to an extent) computers. I have been messing with computers since I had my first IBM PCjr in 7th grade. I have slowly upgraded ever since. IBM PCrj->Intel 8086->Intel 286->Intel 386->IBM 486 SLC/66->AMD 486 DX2/80->Pentium 90->Pentium 166->Pentium II 233->Pentium II 300->Pentium III 450->Pentium II 300->Dual Celron 366es OC. It has taken me many years but I have built every system from scratch starting from my 486 DX2/80 on. That was actually the machine I started college on, but I quickly upgraded to an Pentium 90 after a failed CPU upgrade to a DX4/120 (the DX2/80 was the only chip that I actually fried).

For the last year or two I have been trying to get a small network together. I have boughten enough components to make a couple of computers, but I am always missing stuff like HD and RAM. I fixed the HD problem buying buying crappy sub 1 GB HD's, but all the Pentium MB I have use 168pin SDRAM which I can use in my P II, so I normally canabalize them for that extra 32MB of memory.

The real reason why I want all the computers, it to work on brute force password cracking. Ever since I have played with cryptology I have wanted to play with it some more, and with that advent of cheap Pentium class computers, I can do this over a modified distrobuted network, that works kind of like that one working on the Moo Project??.
