My Pentium Collection

The Begining

eBay is such a wonderful place (well it used to be). I picke up five Pentium non-mmx boards for under $100 dollars (This was fall of '98). They are Intel reference board with Gateway Bios, 2 DIMM slots, a cache module slot, and they were ATX. At the time I had an assortment of Pentium CPU's setting around and this seemed like a good way to get rid of them. I think one board is fried. Can't keep them straight I have a 166, 90, and two 75 Pentium Cpu's I picked up 3or 4 256K cache modules. the only thing stopping me is the cases and memory.

Pentium 166 - Poppa

This Pentium actualy can be running (I haven't tested it yet). It has the following:
  • Pentium 166
  • Genric Ass ATX Mid-Tower
  • 32MB PC100 DIMM
  • 256KB Cache Module
  • Diamond Stealth 2000 2MB PCI
  • Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA
  • Future Domain 16xx ISA SCSI-2 Card
  • Plextor 6X SCSI-2 CD-ROM
  • Seagate 540MB IDE HD.

    Pentium 90 - Momma

    This one is in pieces but is only laking memory, SCSI Card, and NIC. It has:
  • Pentium 90 (Probably try to OC to 100)
  • 256KB Cache Module
  • Generic Mid-Sized Full-ATX Tower
  • Trident Trio? Chipset 1MB Video Card
  • Misc. HD's I think a 240MB and a 160MB conner drives.
  • NEC MultiSpin 4Xi SCSI-2 CD-ROM (Need SCSI card)

    Pentium 75s - The Twins

    Well these two have MB and CPU but that is about it. I have one ISA 512KB Video card, one of the MB's might be screwed, and i think that I have one 256KB cache moudule left but I am not sure. I need:
  • 2x ATX Cases
  • 1x 256KB Cache Module
  • 2x NICs
  • 2x 32MB DIMMS
  • 2x 400-500 MB IDE HD's
  • 2x Generic IDE CD-ROM's
  • 2x Generic 1-2MB PCI Video Cards

    Pentium 166 - Black Sheep

    This MB went to my father. He had an AT MB, in a desktop case, and no room to grow, so I got him an ATX case, 64 MB of 168-pin DIMMS, 256KB Cache Module, and we reused his 166. So I know have a 128KB Pentium AT MB with about 32MB of 72-Pin SIMMs. It is some generic MB, I would have to search for the specs on it.

    Da plan

    Da plan is to install Linux on all of these computers, and get some cool, semi-Parellel/Distrobuted programming crap going on. I need to get a Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse switcher but the nice ones are over $200. I will get there some day.
