macsbeach98 Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 Nice work Griff would of been a lot of cross referencing there as you connected it up. Quote
TASOS Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) I suggest a split-thread for GRIFF's modification. From post 101 It deserves it's own thread. Edited November 12, 2017 by TASOS Quote

GRIFF Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Hi Guys. Happy New Year for all!!!!!!!!!! I found a very high price for Geforce 256 video card. I propose replace this card with Geforce2 MX200 or MX400 cards. Your opinion? Quote
TASOS Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Hi everybody. This is a 2018 reminder about OSiBS season 4 Prepare yourselves FINAL PLAN ROUND 1 - Socket 7 (1997) Mixed with Intel & AMD cpu's (All cpu's must be 0.35 micron fabrication). Desktop cpu's only. Intel P5 architecture (Pentium MMX series) AMD K6 architecture (Desktop K6 series) Stage-1 CPU-Z Validation - Max CPU speed Stage-2 SuperPI 1M Stage-3 CPU-Z Validation - Percentage OC % // ROUND 2 - Socket 370 (1998) (Mendocino cores only) (Non Intel chipset motherboards) (No server hardware allowed-only desktop products) Stage-1 CPU-Z Validation - Max CPU speed Stage-2 SuperPI 1M Stage-3 Wprime 32M // ROUND 3 - Slot A (1999) (Argon & Pluto core only) Stage-1 CPU-Z Reference Clock Stage-2 SuperPI 1M Stage-3 3DMark 2001 - GeForce 256 // ROUND 4 - Socket 423 (2000) (No adapters allowed) Stage-1 SuperPI 1M Stage-2 Wprime 32M Stage-3 Aida64 Memory Read Stage-4 3DMark 2001 - GeForce3 series // ROUND 5 - Socket 754 (2003) (No adapters allowed) Stage-1 SuperPI 1M Stage-2 HWBOT X265 1080P Stage-3 3DMark2003 - Nvidia series (Up to 6xxx series - single vga - single gpu only) Stage-4 FM Cloudgate - ATI AGP series // Quote
max1024 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 please add socket3 in any round Think not in this season. TASOS I have a proposal for ROUND 5 - Socket 754 (2003) (No adapters allowed) add another limitation - only desktop cpu, not mobile S754. In Old School is Best School [2016] in stage 5 was S754 and majority used mobile version of cpu, lets this year desktop. Mobile for mobile (notebooks) desktop for desktop motherboards. As my personal opintion I do not like when used mobile version of cpu on non specialised motherboards it is "not usual usage". Quote
Mr.Scott Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Mobile for mobile (notebooks) desktop for desktop motherboards. As my personal opintion I do not like when used mobile version of cpu on non specialised motherboards it is "not usual usage". I disagree. XP-M in socket A was quite common. 754 is no different.

macsbeach98 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I agree the CPU is compatible with the board no adaptor is needed should be allowed. Quote
Bones Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I agree - If it fits into the board without anything required to "Make" it work then it should be fine. Quote
Gumanoid Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 s754 was in the 5th round of the second season. Let's do socket 940. I don't remember the competitions on this socket. Quote
TAGG Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 @GRIFF replacing the 256 would be a great idea from the Budget standpoint... It is actually the only thing i haven't bought allready because of the insane prices people are charging in eBay... Quote
Gumanoid Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) GF256 has never been used before. It's not an option. This is the 1st GeForce ever. MX200/400 is not interesting. Edited January 3, 2018 by Gumanoid Quote
max1024 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 ...replacing the 256 would be a great idea from the Budget standpoint... It is actually the only thing i haven't bought allready because of the insane prices people are charging in eBay... What I think about the Old school. I have the main association of OSBS with the legendary Hardware, which GF256 is. MX400/200 is generally the next generation at 1-st, moreover, it is poor quality of GF2U - another words trash in my opinion. When last years, among other stages of OSBS, there was a 3DFX v5 video card competition, then all still participated, although at a cost it is obviously more expensive than pair GF256. As for me gf256 is the same rarest thing as mobile A64 S754 Newark core, in our region it is hard to find 99% of HW. I do not understand the idea and the concept of last two modern OSBS at all, in the first championships it was, and now the administration gave this project to the mercy, but as a result, some opinions are listened to and executed by them, others are not taken into account at all. What is the main aidea? Overclocking for overclocking or overclocking interesting HW? It wil lbe better then OSBS expert like Antinomy and other from administration which is not perticipated in OSBS would come up with interesting and well-structured tasks that would become available for everyone and showed to all in one time.

I.nfraR.ed Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I have GF256 It was used in one of the stages of Team Cup 2012. Quote
max1024 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I have GF256 It was used in one of the stages of Team Cup 2012. I think you have a quarter or half of all OSBS HW for all years )) or even whole Quote
Gumanoid Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I have GF256 It was used in one of the stages of Team Cup 2012. WOW! Where have you been? Quote
Mr.Scott Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Why must changes happen right before the comp every single time. Months were given for everybody's input and only a few respond. Now when everything is finalized people crawl out of the woodwork to complain or want changes. Too late. Comp is finalized. You had your chance. Thank you Tasos for organizing this. 1 Quote
max1024 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 General Question: Question about description of the 1-st stage. "Round 1 of the Old School is Best School contest is all about the classic Socket 7 which harks back to 1997. This means benching with Intel P5 Pentium MMX and AMD K6 architecture processors. All CPUs however must be manufactured using the 0.35 micron fabrication process." As i rigth understand, for P5 Microarchitecture fits processors Pentium NON MMX and with MMX on tech process 0.35 mc. Need to fix description "with Intel P5 Pentium MMX and" -> "with any Intel P5 Pentium and" to prevent misunderstanding. Quote
TASOS Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Happy new year to all Sorry to inform you , that this thread is no longer open for proposals. This competition and all stages included , is final. The only thing to wait for ... is the starting date Quote

No need to edit any kind of description in that stage. That stage is exactly what you read. It's a 0.35 cpu "battle" between Intel Pentium MMX vs AMD K6 (model 6) That simple. I tried to produce a fair (as possible) stage-comparison between the two manufacturers. Both same year Both 0.35 Both MMX capable Both with the same max cpu speed (233) If i wanted to include earlier Intel cpu gen , i would have done so. Get ready Max and tune your hardware. Quote
Remarc Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Think not in this season. I see, I was waiting for 2 years when 486 will appear in competitions, it's a pity that this interesting only to me Quote
