Re: Topcat's Weird Pentium Pro Builds
Another rather boring day....I dug the PR440FX build back out to install the Overdrive CPU's that have been sitting here for about a month.... When all this virus nonsense is finished, this build will be finished up with a nifty GPU upgrade.....so what the hell, I'll toss the CPU's in it and make sure everything is playing nice...
Seen by the BIOS. These essentially turn your socket8 pentium pro system into a pentium2. Much better performance, no FDIV bug (not that it was really a factor), full speed L2, Add in MMX, plus 133MHz additional core speed!! What a win!
What a money shot!!
One of the CPU's even came with the manuals.
I rounded up some enlight drive rails that I needed.
CPU-Z sees it as a Klamath core, when in reality it's a (SL2KE) Deschutes...which apparently is a normal thing for it to be detected this way because of the stepping.
Awesomesauce!
THis thing will run some GL Quake1 and other older sordid Glide games with a bliss & classiness that will make any p-pro system blush!
