Well I got my socket A machine up and running again. I don't suppose any other sucker is still stuck in that time warp?

Have a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP running a xp3200 with one gig of ram, and a 6600GT vid card. Just a system that I mess with once in awhile :toast:

nice overclock!

zithe · Aug 13, 2009

I found a system that's from 02. I've yet to turn it on and find out what's in it (Mostly out of fear). I'll have to wait. I threw away the case and PSU. lol

Cuzza · Aug 13, 2009

Don't throw away cases! I can't even find one!

eidairaman1 · Aug 13, 2009

Actually its at 2200MHz or aka XP 3200+, it wont go further without better cooling for the motherboard.

Wow! Guess the Socket A club is alive n kickin' again! May have to look for some of my older stuff while packing for the move this weekend.

goldfries · Aug 13, 2009

I've handed my Socket A unit to my mother, it's slow but I think works fine for her web browsing.

Cuzza · Aug 13, 2009

Logic tells me to give mine to my Dad. But he hates computers, I don't think he has used one since about 1994. I'm going to look up overclocking for my ECS mobo.

H82LUZ73 · Aug 13, 2009

I have my old system xp-Barton +2500 at +3200 still running up on my workbench,has x800Pro 1 gig ram and a 60 gig hard drive,ASUS A7v8x-x mobo in it .I still test with it like Windows 7 was running on it (RC Build) Ran better then Vista did lol . :rockout:

Those are 3rd party modded bios' to facilitate overclocking. Need some info on volt and pin mods?

My XP 3200+ is still running strong. It runs BF2 flawlessly and is my everyday computer. With that in mind, i am planning on upgrading to a core i5 system maybe four months after it comes out.. due to the lack of multitasking power.

If anyone is interested in pics, or whatever let me know as i will be cleaning it out soon.

YouKre still rocking a socket a as your main system? Wow! Post piccies please - you will not believe how much more fun BF2 is with a big monitor and a fast system. I still play it all the time but with my system I can ALT TAB to the desktop in less than a second to check email etc...

tonyd223 · Aug 13, 2009

Ubuntu for old systems!

tonyd223 · Aug 13, 2009

Ubuntu for all old systems - and dual boot on spare hard discs!

Believe it or not mine takes about 3 seconds in and out of the game with a 5-sec pause after getting into BF2 again from the desktop to become fluid in FPS. Here are some pics that I just took. I still need to do some major dust removal.

tonyd223 · Aug 13, 2009

That pc looks great for it's age and you've expanded it well. I need to get a power supply to rebuild my XP2600+, 2GB Ram, etc... Now, do I need a file server in the attic?

Yep, it is a kt400 board, running the 8x AGP. Let me check my old boards (several socket A's), I think I have another Gigabyte GA-7VAXP! These were some of the best enthusiasts board for overclocking, next to the Asus boards LOL. They support RAID 0, 1, and 5 also. Hell if I do have the second one, which I know I had for a spare :laugh:

I would send it to you for the shipping cost man :toast:

department76 · Aug 14, 2009

i'll join.

my first build ever was a 1.4ghz athlon, thunderbird core, asus mobo w/ via kt133 north bridge. easy to remember all that :-D

a couple years later i upgraded to an asus a7n deluxe and a 2500+ barton, oc'd to 2.0 or so. man were those bartons great. oh the good old days :-)

the system still lives, i gave it to my dad several years ago. it was lightly modded... could maybe get some pics for the sake of the club.

anything on the DFI LP NF2 Ultra-B

Ive been trying to get my system to push beyond 2.2GHz stabily, Ive seen some hit 2.7GHz and a rare 3.0GHz

I'd be happy if i could run at 2.5GHz 24/7 Gaming/Media Stable. Im unsure if its the CPU or if its the motherboard not liking the temps as Ive checked CPU temps and they seem to be fine where sys temps are high (could be the NB/SB or Volt controls for the CPU)

Cuzza · Aug 14, 2009

Pity the club founder is banned, no updates to the member list.

p_o_s_pc · Aug 14, 2009

I want to join i have a Sempron 3000+ and a cheap MSI mobo but its dead. I should have in a week or so another Socket A rig up to replace that one AXP3000+ and Asus mobo will post a CPU-Z when i get the stuff

Cuzza · Aug 14, 2009

Get JrRacinFan to put you on the list, it's on the 2nd post in this thread (I didn't look that far yesterday *facepalm*).

and feel free to use the club sigbar people

BTW I have downloaded a couple of hacked bioses for my ECS. have never played around with that sorta thing before so I'm a bit edgy, see how it goes

JrRacinFan · Aug 19, 2009

Yo POS! Remember that setup I PMd you bout? Well I gave it to my brother....

Athlon T-bird 900mhz
AsRock K7VT4A+
512MB PC2700
GF4 MX440 (Going to test my ti4200 in it)
3x 20GB WD Hdd's
