6.9 GHz with 70 Gb's of Ram

Check out my amazing new rig!!

I just recently fixed my ancient computer. Pardon my misleading title though I couldn't resist being ironic.

Really just shows how technology has changed over the years

Got some pics for the ladies

Oh and one question. If i removed this sound card, would it be compatible on a sandybridge p867 mobo?

CPUs a bottleneck. Need to overclock it.

To be fair, they were good in their day. I still have fond memories of my P4 2.4GHz and 6800GT graphic card with 1gb of RAM...

wow, reminds me of when I see forum sigs from about 10 years ago

kind of miss the old days

overclocking mattered much more back then, now it doesn't make *that* much difference

Didn't you have to do a lil' more than change some bios setting around to overclock 'back in those days'?

Heh.

yes you had to draw on your cpu with a pencil to unlock the multipliers and voltages

all it needs is that ati chip in CF

envy those ram timings lol

Shayper · 16 Feb 2011 at 01:05

Could you imagine those ram timings on 2000mhz dominators?

Would be absolutely INSANE!

My first OC was my P100 to 120. : proud:

Give it 7-8 years and we'll be saying this about the i7 2600k's and 580's.

Ah, the good old pencil trick, I remember doing that. It was much more fun overclocking back then, messing around with the chips, and jumpers on the motherboard. It's almost too easy to overclock now, seems to take a little of the skill away.

Even my mum could probably do it now...
