Hello,
A few months ago I put together a new 'personal workstation'.
I've chosen:
- Gigabyte 686DX (ATX)
- PPro 200 (256kB Cache) * 2
(couldn't get the 166MHz/512kB here in Germany)
- 128 MB RAM (FP)
- AHA 2940AU
- IBM DCAS 4.3GB * 2 (narrow)
- + network and graphics, etc.
The machine I've used before, was based on an ASUS T2P4 / P166 (other
components were the same).
The system gave reasonable performance for my unix-related work,
but rather p***** me off as a real-slow-M$-NT-developer-machine.
The new machine performs quite well under NT 4.0.
Running FreeBSD/SMP the machine has a real chance to show its
capabilities. Whow, ... it really flys along. ... much faster
than it was supposed to.
Concerning the success-stories about overclocking the PPros to
233 MHz I've tried that, too.
In fact, I reset the clockspeed to 200 MHz a few weeks ago, because
the performance at the lower speed is more than sufficient for my
purposes.
Thanks, ... many thanks to the BSD-Developer-Crowd ... especially
to the SMP-folks.
Regards,
Andreas
