Zargon Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Does a PII Xeon go in the same slot that a regular PII does? I can get a nice deal on a PII 400 Xeon 1MB, and I am getting a machine with a PII 333..........thikn it wil swap?
KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 I think PII are slot A or 1 and Xeons are slot 2, not certain on it tho.
Zargon Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 can you get a slot converter or that......hmmmmm........
Ikhnaton Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 PII are slot 1 and the PII Xeons are indeed slot 2. and even if there were a converter, it wouldn't be worth it for technology that old.
Zargon Posted May 30, 2002 Author Posted May 30, 2002 I don't have much else to do, I am getting an old dell p2 333, that has no RAM or HD ps. its free, I just need to make it workable.....
Ikhnaton Posted May 30, 2002 Posted May 30, 2002 dude, just get a job, ya commie! make some bucks and build your own from scratch.
Zargon Posted May 31, 2002 Author Posted May 31, 2002 what, like that athlon 1800+ that i just built with the GF3 128 Ti 200 that I dropped 600 bucks on? yeah did that already :-D I have TWO jobs actaully, working on a 3rd acutally..........I am getting this machine form work, wanna make it my DHCP/MP3/backup server...........just pump some extra ram in it I guess, unless I can find a PII 100 Mhz FSB mobo to put it on and speed boost it............................I have a while to decide, since I have NO MONEY at the moment, cuz I'm buying my router for DSL for august ahead of time.....
KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN Posted June 1, 2002 Posted June 1, 2002 Originally posted by Zargon since I have NO MONEY at the moment, cuz I'm buying my router for DSL for august ahead of time..... You have a computer you are going to set up for DHCP and you are wasting money on a hardware router? Why not set up that computer as a software router aswell as DHCP?
Rogue9 Posted June 3, 2002 Posted June 3, 2002 prolly he doesn't realize how simple it is....I have a server at home though as well as my router, its just nice to watch peoples reaction when I describe my house
Zargon Posted June 3, 2002 Author Posted June 3, 2002 I do realize that actually, this is just for now, I HAVE TO HAVE A HARWARE ROUTER OR MODEM for the dsl, period, its the only way my company works(i work at an ISP), its also, SUPER BADASS and can do 12349871240783 things that a software router cannot do, it will jsut run DHCP untill I get the hardware one isntall and running, then it will be on documents/mp3 duty most likely...... plus, I just got a $400+ router for 76 bucks......I think I got a good deal. My new plan is this. I am going to slocket my PIII 600 to a celly 1.1, give the 600 to my bro, get his 450 and some ram as compensation, and slocket the p2 for 10 bucks to the 450(waste I know, but 10 bucks for a big boost in performance) and hardware is always better than software, software can screw up alot more.
Zargon Posted June 6, 2002 Author Posted June 6, 2002 Originally posted by GUNNER Slot A is AMD. yup.......my 1800+ is slot A
Ikhnaton Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 that would actually be SOCKET A, not slot. Slot A was for the first Athlon classics. I'm running a slot A athlon classic at 700 mhz.
Kyle d'Tana Posted June 7, 2002 Posted June 7, 2002 no, that don't works. it doesn't matter which type of xeon you have(P2-4) . xeon is bigger than a normal processor....
Kyle d'Tana Posted June 7, 2002 Posted June 7, 2002 oh sorry, i forgot something important!! ZARGON: a xeon don't works well for games... and the architechture of a xeon is very different!! you have two different mainboards, you have to check the bios. If you let the comp so how it was before, you will no anger.... and, you can buy a pentium III machine foe really cheap....
Zargon Posted June 7, 2002 Author Posted June 7, 2002 yeahm, but I only have to buy that processor, not a whole machinem i just spent 650 bucks on a machine, I don't need to spend lots more :-P I wouldnt play games on the Xeon anyways, just serve mp3z and documents
