How fucking lazy can you be?

Here's something nice: a Quad Pentium pro.

In memory of my XT clone.
It's in a better place now.

that's a big CPU

>>58593085
Is that yours? Post more.

Now I don't have the best PPro setup on /g/ anymore.

>>58594390
You never did.

>>58594397
Mine's 2x200MHz/512K, never seen anyone else with >256K cache chips let alone a quad-socket setup since I started shitposting here in 2010.

>>58594542
You don't lurk many /retro/ threads then.

>>58594573
Been in pretty much every one since they started in 2014, only ever seen one other guy with a PPro at all.

That's cool anon, pics? There has been a dual PPro server tower on sale locally here for a few months, I don't really have an interest in it, even though it's just a few bucks. No use for DOS games and still too slow for latter 3D games...

huff huff huff, he's only been here since this particular year

>He Hasn't Been Part Of The Suicide-Circlejerk Since Birth Also I Type Like This

now excuse me, I have filled out the captcha, I am going to *tips* so hard that I will crash through the floor. However, on the way down, I will also hit the post button

Why even bother...

There were plenty of threads in 2014-2016, what are you talking about? Don't you remember the AthlonDude shit and the reboot last year?

I don't remember anyone really other than the one guy who had a nice system running 2K he was using for benchmarking.

Why's it so important to you anyway? I just want to ogle this quad-socket box.

>>58594641
Shit nigga, by the time the 1MBs were shipping though PPros weren't the latest and greatest anymore and V2s were way past their time. Never seen anyone try overclocking them too though, sounds fun.

Like, under $20? I'd snag it, you can't even find the damn chips for under $40 anymore thanks to gold content. They're fun boxes to mess with and fascinating pieces of engineering history.

Should play shit like Quake just fine too if you'd just want to use it for games. What more do you need? :^)

Samsung SSDs all the way

>>58594917
>What more do you need? :^)
Well, does Quake actually take advantage of the second PPro? Also, Quake actually uses MMX, a Pentium MMX at the same clock is way better idea to play Quake, even with half the cache.

>>58594939
Oh yeah, forgot those were a thing.

Still though, fuck that, jet engine disks are half the fun. I wonder if a good SCSI disk would out-run an SSD strangled on a slower ATA bus too.

>>58594974
Not sure, actually, but the performance should still be decent.

>>58595007
>I wonder if a good SCSI disk would out-run an SSD strangled on a slower ATA bus too.
Nope, the SSDs seek time pwns any magnetic SCSI or ATA drive, while still being able to take advantage of the full port speed.

>>58595034
Eh, sure, I'll believe it.

NCR made a pretty bitchin' family of cost-no-object microchannel systems for a while going up from single-socket 486 file servers in the entry level up to 32-socket Pentium monsters if you really hated your wallet

But you probably meant model numbers, that one looks like a 3410 or 3430? They made a bunch of different ones.
