I'm still running my rig at 1.2GHz (old skool T-bird  ). I'd o/c it but I've already got 7 fans in it and still can't get it running below 50*C....the T-birdies are known to be hot little buggers. I dual boot to Mandrake 9.2 and Windows 98se depending on what I feel like each day...
System Specs:
1.2GHz T-bird @ 1.2
384MB PC 133 RAM (I'd get the DDR2100 since my board supports both, but I'm saving my money for a powerbook)
crappy ATI Xpert 128 w/ 16mb ram.....won't even do hardware acceleration in linux
IBM 60gxp deskstar (deathstar) 40GB @ 7200RPM
Lite-on 16x10x40x and a lite-on 52x cd-rom
All cooled by 7 fans; 3 hard drive fans, 1 side fan, 2 back fans, and a Volcano II. (The noise is killing me)
As far as SATA goes, I haven't been much updated on that, and last time I checked (6+ months ago), tom's hardware ran the benchmarks of SATA vs. ATA133 and there was no visible benefit of running SATA, but that probably changed already.  |
i can actually get it up to 2.4Ghz stable... A FULL GHz of OC!!
, but i dont want the cpu to die out on me w/in 2 yrs... i want it 2 last a lil longer cuz i never keep a pc for more than 4 yrs.
DEAR LORD!! 7 FANS?!?! whats the db level on that bad boy
my 92mm tornado drives me nuts!!!
but thats the price i pay for an xtra GHz of OC memory hehe
when is your next upgrade?!?!
i hate tomshardware... they are sooo corrupt. i use
