I've got an ET6000 too IIRC. How about FPU smackdown for some real hardcore? Compute Super pi 32M without an FPU, that should be really brutal.

Any thoughts about them competition name? I came up to three options: 1) Old school is best school competition 2) Good ol' school competition 3) Some love for Old School Hardware Competition

That sounds good for me, thanks for the input!

LOL And I agree, this is a Chinese fake CPU. Neither the first or last of them

Lame question - how is oldest hardware defined? 1) Introduction date of CPU p/n like "1.5G Willamette" 2) Approximate date for steppings 3) Production week of certain chip

Thank you, will check today and fix! Mobile Tualations use Socket 478A will add it. So nobody gets confused with Socket 479 (478C) used by Dothan/Banias. These 478/479 are tricky.

Yes I do. Will try to bench soon. Tuning my system now.

There's been a good idea floating around - of a competition aimed on old school hardware. And I need opinions on what tests and hardware should be used. I invite everyone interested to make a suggestion. I'll stack them up and send to Massman to organize the competition. A good name for a competition would be nice to come up to as well. My thought is as follows: "Old school is best school" competition. Stage is 3 months (old means rare means time to find the required hardware). Hardware starting from socket 5/7 and up to 478/939. VGA - up to GF 5/ATI 9xxx. Some multiprocessor action (I'm thinking of Pentium 2-3 and socket A). Only older benchmarks - good old Super pi, Pifast, wPrime. No new tests like Cinebench, HWBot Prime. No "strange" (bugged) tests like 3DMark 2000/PCMark 2004. So feel free to post and prepare your oldies

fixed core to Deschutes.

fixed chipset and combined with another category.

Nice to see familiar faces. I'm in Would be nice to have 2-3 months for each competition - we're talking about not only old but rare hardware and it might take some time for a good preparation. But we could start a new one before the first ends giving not only time but a choice and/or more action. I think this can be done.

Great news! Any plans on making this annual? I'd start saving for tickets.

Excellent idea! Karl loved old school hardware and has known a lot. Year of losses.

Gigioracing, what are the vendors for them? "CDC MTC" - model? And "Ati SB400" - motherboard model too? Asus P4G8X works fine for me, what's the problem?
