[ShadowFolder]

i d/l the manual, it's a micronics...
i can use dual 166mmx @ 100/66 (supported only 100mhz )

i'll build a router pc, which one r better 4 "cable router pc"???
*single p233mmx
*dual p166mmx @ 100

Either will work about the same, most likely.

If you build that dual I'd recommend getting your hands on NT4, Win2K will run slooooow on that thing.

i think linux'll better than any win...

Where the heck did you find that thing?

i think linux'll better than any win...

Most definately. NT4 & Win2k might hurt it more than help.

naaah, i don't use it...
last day, i test it,
boot begins with fullscreen "IBM PC SERVER" logo,
bios r looking like piece of s***!

my first & only dual cpu mobo,
and it slower than single 233mmx

dont bother. i found this one page where you could download a floppy image with linux on it, slap that sucker in a 386 with dual nics and route with that. web interface and all. did not have much use for it at the time so i dont have the link. i know someone who is running it and it is fast. he said that you have to use a good nic like a 3com etherlink 3. might have to find that link again.

http://www.zelow.no/floppyfw/ here you go. i like the part where they say "more than 1 floppy is bloatware" did bill gates hear that?

fast?

is that thing (dually 166mmx@100) faster than single 233mmx???

i don't know looks so old
(edo ram, heavier than 1kilo, and it's too big...)



ok there's the basic question:
single 233@266 on via chipset (sd-ram)
=VS=
dually 166mmx@100 on intel nx chipset (edo-ram)

which one runs faster???
