Wow, a Pentium Pro, anybody got a skillet and some eggs (I hear it doubles as a hotplate.)
<snip> You think 1 PPro is hot, try two. One of the RH8 boxes we have here is running a Dual PPro 200. The motherboard, an ASUS p65up5, is so crammed with stuff that they has to put the voltage regulator and the CPUs on a full length daughter board. The problem is that the daughter board plugs in at the very top of the motherboard so it is jammed up against to bottom of the PS and the drive bays and gets little or no clean air flow. It is a terrible design but works ok as long as it is in an air-conditioned room. Other than that minor design flaw, I love the board. It has 8 SIMM slots (up to a max of 512 MB), 5 PCI, and 3 ISA slots. It is not much now, but when we first got it, wow. Even now it is unbelievably stable and works well for what I use it for. And it is just crammed with stuff. I has three IDE drives in it, a video card, two SCSI cards, and a cd drive. Connected to the two SCSI busses are 10 hdd drives and a DLT drive. I have been scrounging parts for this system for two years. When we retire something I usually strip it bare and put the parts wherever I can use them. <snip> I appreciate what you had to say Garl. <snip> I just wanted to provide another point of view, and I am glad to see it helped. http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/visualize0603.asp Thanks for the article. I found it very interesting, in fact a coworker and I were just discussing something along this line last week. Good timing.
