bp6 w/pair 366's w/globalwin coolers needs good home

I replaced 6 caps on the bottoms of the cpu last year (or the year before) and it ran stable again for a while (I'm upset the company did not send me a full set of replacement caps). Anways, the board is unstable again and I see one cap on the board edge is visibly swollen, all 6 of those should be ...

I honestly dont' rememeber... I bought my bp6 with a pair of 366 celeron's that were *supposedly* certified to run @550. I only ever got them to run stably at 539. The first card I put in that system was a guillomot banshee card. I still have that system, now it has 768MB RAM on it, a radeon 7200 (t...

the fastest dual would be to get some 366 and OC them to 550, some people have used oced 400 with some success. those would probility be the fastest and easiest way to SMP athlon mp systems are just pimp beyond belief, a little harder to OC and they're usually more expensive because the boards are ...

I can tell you for a fact that they're SMP safe, I ran both a gf3 and gf4 on my Tyan Tiger MP based system.

Problem is that nvidia's drivers have always been fairly squirrely, but at least they've markedly improved in stability over the last year.

My bp6 machine never ever saw windows put on it during its lifetime. Right now I'm running it as a firewall/server. You'll find that duallie systems work wonderfully in that capacity, you just need to be very careful to lock the system down with iptables and not expose samba and such to the internet...

Wierd, reading this posting reminded me that I used to get these errors continuously when I ran the system as my primary desktop. Ever since I turned mine into a firewall/server about a year, year and a half ago I didn't see any APIC errors until I got 2 yesterday. I wonder if it has to do with the ...

I've been using my old bp6 + 2x366 celery's as a firewall/ server for over a year or so now. I had mandrake on it for a while, then decided to put debian on it after a hard drive failure. Sadly I lost 2 debian installs due to 2 more hard drive failures. After I put an antec 400W power supply on my b...
