Monday Funday - Who had one of these?

[Patrick]

Just saw one of these while looking for something else. Who had one of them? I remember how handy these things were back in the day!

I think I still have a "slocket" in my junk drawer...and did your Slot-1 MB require R-DIMM (RamBus DIMMs)?

 

[supermacro]

I'm pretty sure I have those somewhere if I try to find it and I'm pretty sure I have the slot 1 CPU as well, LOL.

I think my first dual socket system used two of these... that's right... dual CPU and two threads on that thing.

The funniest thing was the slot 1 coolers. "Massive" for the time.

Look what I found in my basement!
Dual PII 400s on a Tyan board and 1.5 GB RAM.

WOW!!!! Awesome machine!!!!

Those cartridge-pentium II's were good times. Definitely had a bunch of those around the office and in my workstation, circa '98/99 if I recall.

I used to run a Celeron 300a on the old BX chipset, they were awesome overclockers and ran stable @ 450mhz.

 

[Patrick]

Didn't those 300a's also run in dual CPU configs?

 

[sboesch]

Only if you altered the processor, it required some soldering for the slot1 chips, not sure about the later designs.

This time period reminds me of another hack I did, making a Promise Fastrak66 RAID Controller out of an Promise Ultra66 ATA Controlller by soldering 100ohm resistor to the EPROM and flashing the Ultra66 with the Fastrak66 Bios.

Still have one of those. Celeron 600 i believe, later upgraded to a 'not crippled' pentium III. The next 10 years or so i didn't touch anything intel powered

Funnily enough we are seeing this type of add-on boards again with the co-processors

 

[sboesch]

As soon as the Slot A Athlons came out, I bought a 900. I did not use an Intel CPU from 1999 to 2006 until the Core 2 Duo was released. Since then I have been back to Intel.

BP6 runs Celeron 300a's in dual. I have one with two pairs of CPUs (366 and 500). Along with my Promise Fastrack66 from a Ultra66 and Slot1 P3 800. I never had a Slocket, I went from the BP6 to a P4 2.4B. I do remember really wanting to get a dual Tualatin, they out performed the P4 until the Northwood IIRC.
