    Mr. Kwitko had this to say
    Mondi, please be on standby with that XP2500+.

    Which will operate at 1.47 GHz unless the multi is changed - the motherboard can only support a 266 FSB...

    By the way, Seth, why is your name in the forums not TD_Isles anymore? :confused:

    I wondered too. This is what I found.

    The result? Now he is S-M's #1 Cultural Reference! :respect:

    Call me Seth, call me TD, call me Mr. Kwitko, call me whatever suits your fancy. I'll answer to all of them. I'm still the same, loveable cultural reference I've always been.

    w00t! Let me know if that second stick of RAM works... it tested bad in an old system, but it was a Compaq so I don't trust it, since it worked fine in the system I built that I had it in previously... ;)


    Ok SM-20 breaths... Kinda...

    The stick of 256 is erroring out on memtest, test #3.

    When I tried to install the OS, Win 2K, I got a blue screen and shut down notice...

    Everything in the BIOS is auto and the monitor shows plenty of voltage and temps are good...

    So I'm pretty sure this stick is toast... The other stick that GHoosdum sent seems to work but its only a 32meg stick and no OS will install on that..., So I need some ram guys.... pc133

    Also the board didn't have an OB nic so I robbed a nic from a friend for a while.... I will have to return it at some point.

    Other than that it boots into the bios and everything.... yea...

    Damn, I am at home and all my parts are at my apartment.

    Anyone got some RAM to send him ASAP? I can send a NIC when I get back if needed unless someone wants to send one now.
  • gtghmgtghm New

    Never mind about the NIC... duh if I remove the cover from the back plane I'd see that the OB nic is right there.... silly me...

    Sorry bout that...

    Ok... Update... I couldn't leave well enough alone so I did some more TS.

    Here is the current Status... XP Pro is installed and getting updates now.

    What happened: I had a copy of 2k AS lying around I wanted to try out, but it was blue screening and wouldn't work.
    I got my copy of memtest86 out and ran it several times switching dim slots and it errored consistantly on test 3 and once on test 1...

    So where does that leave us...:
    Lets hold off on the ram for just a bit and see if the memtest errors effect the machine.... If it starts crashing and stuff then we might have to figure something out.

    I apologize for the alarm.... I hope to be trying to crunch protiens by tomorrow.... I'll keep you up to date.

    Ok right now shes cranking away on project 920... Looks like shes averaging about 8min a step.

    Its too early to tell if shes going to hold up as I had several hard freezes of XP (unsual for sure) while I was trying to get the updates in. But they are all in now and shes gone into production.

    If I have any more issues I'll let you know. I'll post again when shes finished her first WU...

    BTW, I put in the offical name as SM20_Angel_Heather :)

    Later,

    Ok this thing will not go very long, bout an hour or so, with out hard locking....

    Hard locking XP Pro is a pretty bad thing.... Anyways we need to get it fixed. Until we do we won't get any decient production out of her.

    Let me know when its on the way so I can expect it.

    Thanks,

    Sorry 'bout that 256 stick... that was all the PC133 I had, tho!

    SM20 is turning out to be cursed or something!

    g, CrazyJoe0813 has some kind of SDRAM laying around - I'll check with him and see if he'll part with a stick.

    RAM all ready sent. IF you would like to donate get in contact with Seth/TD/...
  • GHoosdumGHoosdum Icrontian
    edited December 2003
    If I want to donate? Holy crap, d00d, where do you think the mobo and RAM for this one came from in the first place?

    It just seemed like nobody was replying to his plea for new RAM, so I felt responsible since I'm the one that sent the bad stick... I was trying to do what I could to make up for the already bad RAM, not donate somebody else's RAM to the next rigs...
  • mmonninmmonnin Centreville, VA

    OK I mean if HE would like to donate it. I know you have donated plenty and I thank you for it. I think I posted in another thread that I sent some RAM all ready.

    If he'd like to donate it would probably be the end of the world. This guy is so tight-fisted, that when he realized his monitor's brightness is WAY too low, he bought himself a new monitor and gave his old one as a Christmas present to his family!

    Sorry I snapped at ya, Marc, I just didnt' catch the other thread. :banghead:
