How many CPUs are in your system?

1 at the moment - just do not find any time to mod that BP6 for stability....

I guess you mean our BP6 systems?? I got 6 systems running at home

Well, if that's the case, then only people with this board would be able to answer 4.

For the record, I've got 2 in the obvious board (it's my only system).

2, when I have it assembled. Currently my BP6 is AWOL at Abit RMA.

phaedrus,
I read somewhere that there is a revision 7.1 soon to be released that supports 6 CPUs.
It requires 384meg ram sticks though. I think there were capacitor problems with the rev7.0.

2 for one surviving BP6 (no bad capacitors, yet)

&

2 for an unknown dual Pentuim Pro mainboard.

2 x 2 = 4

Yeah. I'm saving my pesos for a rev 7.1. The only problem is those 384MB RAM modules are basically impossible to find.

Once I've got it, though, I'm gonna mod it so it'll run Xeons!

Just the one CPU at the moment, a PIII 933 in an ASUS CUSL2-C

The BP6 is currently in bits, but will be revived.

I've modded my head so that I have two brains.

can I quote for one of my macines ?
can I count vurtual cpus ?
I have a dual xeon cruncher in my stack.

or should it be just the one i use every day?

WOW
What kind of solder did you use?
Can you post pics?

It's a new nanotech polymer which interfaces with nerve cells. It forms a fractal "chipset," if you will, to allow both brains to use the spinal cord and to allow fast communication between the two. The only problem is you have to use chimpanzee brains to get two inside a normal skull.

hehehehehe....

having a lobotomy to split the two hemispheres, might give you two virtual brains.

try integrating your various personalities so they co-hesively multi-task....
if each personality uses 10% of brain capacity, and you get the OS to talk properly, you could have 10 brains !

Microsoft still charge for a separate license for each brain, virtual or otherwise. Reduce the TCO by going with Debrain Linux.

yeh, I think i could get that to work....

now, if I consider my 'system' as being my seti farm in my computer room.......
cpus, (takes of shoes to count more) ....

(( hmmm, where's my sig when i need it ))

Code: Select all

. act vir
.  8   8 = 4 x bp6 dual
.  1   1 = 1 x bp6 single
.  2   3 = 2 x piv 2.4 (1 B, 1 C ht)
.  2   4 = 1 x dual xeon ( so two cpus, but 4 virtual)
.  3   3 = 3 x piii 866
.  1   1 = 1 x piv 1600
.  1   1 = 1 x piii 667 firewall box
.  1   1 = 1 x 500
. ===========
. 19  22

19 chips i could put in your hand
22 virtual cpus with the HT

oh, and my friends house where i have my seti on all his computers too ??? can i count those ??

I'd seen that board before....
did u notice the EC10 is the older 100uf type ?
you'd think they'd have upgraded that before adding a few more sockets, hmmm!?!

also, ....
drum roll
uber board

CPUs...

[x] 2 Celerons in the BP6. Still the board I use the most, for work and the web.

2 TBreds in my MSI K7D
1 Celeron 566 in a "Router"
1 Athlon64

Was kuun on the beta test of this mod?
Maybe there was interference with the sound system in his car which resulted in his eating the neons he had under the car.
