Holy crap, that is some ancient tech you have there. I would love to get my hands on an old school proc/board to see what it could do. But most of the older equipment that I have lying around is not working correctly. Good luck with the benching and stuff and post some pics/scores if you can.

Ohhh some of the old Intel stuff can really go crazy, I have an old P4 2.0A that with proper cooling you can make sing. Let me know what kind of OC you get off of those.

nice list you have there. I registered for the site because I have always wanted a place that keeps track of scores. I lol'ed at the "are you human" question. "Answer yes" I almost put no just to see what would happen.

Ah, yeah, umm.... that's not really *OLD SCHOOL* tech.

I just gave away an old IBM PC Server 330 with Dual Intel Pentium Pro 200Mhz 512K cache CPUs.

I couldn't for the life of me get Linux up and running on the sumbitch, and the dude I gave it to told me the next day "Yep, got Linux on it no problem." I almost asked him if I could have it back.

I have a Samual 3 Via chip running Linux and a VMWare server running

Fedora

Wow, that's really impressive dude. Guess this HWbot business gets pretty addictive, eh? Battling it out with T2, ha?
