Isthis guy for real??

I'm not a computer expert or anything, but it sounds like this computer in the PCDB is made up. If I was gonna make up a computer, I wouldn't put stuff like this in it.

Socket 8 Asus motherboard (aren't these for Pentium Pro?)
Quad Duron 700's
Overclocked to 1900Mhz @ 4.1V vcore
2 ATA100 SCSI drives stand alone
2 ATA100 SCSI drives in a RAID 50 array
Soundblaster Live with ISA interface
128K modem (ISDN maybe??)
Running Windows 2000XP

All this is apparently "watercooled with twin fans", but I doubt water would be able to keep a 4.1V duron cool!! If this is not a fake computer, im going to die!

haha thats got bullshit written all over it

Um... isn't ATA-100 an IDE standard?
If he'd wanted to be really schmick, he should at least have said something which sounded like a SCSI standard - like 'Ultra-Ultra-Really-Amazingly-Wide' or something.

Just out of interest, under what name is that PCDB entry? I'd love to have a brief look

I liked that bit the best.

To start with, there isn't a "Raid 50" level. 53, yes, but not 50. Raid 53 also needs a minimum of 5 drives, so I don't see how he's using two.

Ever heard of the KT7(A)-RAID? Of course IDE raid is possible, both in software and hardware.

He was easy enough to find, not many quad Durons in the PCDB

what a loser, my quad duron setup got well over 2ghz

hehe

What a moron, everybody knows you only have to bridge the "Run processors in series" jumper on the motherboard to get a 700x4=2800Ghz, and at close to stock voltage to.
Jeeez what a fool.

Yes...

But there is no such thing as "ATA 100 SCSI".

Deanodriver · 29th July 2001, 7:40 PM

that is pure bullshit

they probably said they run RDRAM as well......

some people.........

BurnFEST · 29th July 2001, 9:08 PM

No No...its a RDRAM/DDR Mix it runs so much faster....

Bah quad duron...u should see my Hex 486

Shows that ppl do post bullshit in the PCDB...i mean this one is obvious, but im sure theres a lot in there with tiny changes, just to look good...

ahh well...

Burn.
