don't get some IDE trash. get a pro SCSI drive, at least 10kRPM. 15k would be better. might want to get a 68-80pin adapter in order to use the cheaper ebay-listed 15k drives though.

or get a SCSI backplane for your case, that would be rad too. also wrt 2nd CPU, there isn't some bullshit little jumper you have to set for that, is there? i see you've got a VRM there for it, does it match what the motherboard is expecting?

Silver Alicorn posted:ok the hal upgrade is maybe just for windows? but I changed some bios settings and still it won't start up w/ the 2nd CPU i remember p3-era dual processor setups being insanely picky about the processors. if they weren't exactly the same model and stepping then it would just refuse to work

Sweevo posted:i remember p3-era dual processor setups being insanely picky about the processors. if they weren't exactly the same model and stepping then it would just refuse to work the VRM I got is ~~~supposed~~~ to be the right one but documentation is really skimpy. also the two CPUs I have are identical in speed, fsb, everything, they were pulled from the exact same model compaq as far as I can tell. I couldn't find any jumpers to switch. did find a bios setting but it didn't do the trick. who knows  I was thinking of getting a cf<>ide adapter because I'm already stuck using a crappy old PSU and I don't want to amplify the failure rate with more crusty old moving parts.

have you still not figured out the extra power connector on the board? I know for more modern boards some won't do multi cpu without additional power. I should have kept my huge old dual p3-660mhz with insane full length agp and PCI video card and 10k scsi drives.

I got an OEM compaq power supply for testing. it has the connections. it's like a pcie connector but instead of 3 12v pins it has 1 12v and 2 3.3v

This thread is bad for me It looks like all those years hung up on the wall might have made this board a little wonky, but it might also be that the powersupply doesn't have all the right connectors to power the second CPU

arrrgh I found my old seagate cheetah 15krpm scsi drive but I can't find the 68-pin scsi cable, those fuckers are way too expensive on ebay. Maybe I can scavenge one from the server graveyard at work

well newer versions of opera keep crashing this sweet rig... not sure what the problem is, but surely they weren't made with pentium 3 and win2k as their preferred platform. firefox has been fine if slow, will maybe try k-meleon as well.atomicthumbs posted:Why contain it?
