Ok so I was stupid and removed the CMOS battery a while ago to use in another system and now I put a new one in and the board is freaking out so this might take a while O_O

As I type this I have a Northwood Celeron D desktop under this desk.......and yeah I still really don't like netburst (apart from the 3.2GHz Pentium 4 HT Northwood in my old laptop). I only ever used Pentium D in shitty school desktops. Which ran Windows 7 on 512MB RAM.

Lol, I actually had to take the original battery off my Intel slot 1 440BX motherboard to get my Z97 Sabertooth working-its original bios battery is dead.

*sigh* I still can't find any of the first Celeron, you know, those Celeron that rival Netburst/Bulldozer in being a bad idea. And yes I'd love to use one despite the blue screens with XP when trying to replicate one.

the Pentium III-based Celerons?

Nope, the very first Celeron, released in the mid 90's.

Ok, so finally got the system running again and Windows 7 booted up. Currently installing the GPU drivers as I type this :D

 

So with the GPU situation this is were I am with it...

 

I had the ATI FireGL v3600, only problem is AMD dropped support for the card so I have to use microsoft based drivers (I tried 3rd party ones with no luck :( )

So the GPU I replaced it with is the GeForce 8600 GTS, so far so good :) I also have a GT 630 I can do some benchmarks with if people want to see that for the heck of it :D

Oh I know what ones, one thing is I have never came across the Celeron D line for 775 if that shocks you, it shocks me to be honest  :unsure:

Pentium II-based? Huh?

Pentium II based minus the very important L2 cache. Which was rectified too late with the ondie L2 cache of the Celeron A (which made up for having half the cache of a Pentium II due to the lower latency and bandwidth).

Celeron D were a joke when they launched with the first Pentium 4 Northwood....TBH its kind of easy to see why you don't see LGA 775 Celeron D.

Very cool!

 

Have you used the Hyper T2 before, how's it perform? I need something inexpensive to sit on a Xeon in a 775 board...

The Hyper T2 brought my very hot Q6600 down from 65°c on idle to 30°c with the Hyper T2.

Amazing for what they are, $20 you can't go wrong. I would recommend using another 90mm fan if possible cause the cooler master one that is on it is not all that great to be honest. The Pentium D is hitting around 61c under full load which is what the BIOS tells me although the 930 does not have a temperature sensor on-board like the AMD FX series.

Awesome little chips and you have to use them to actually see how well they aged, most of the internet says else wise :)

I've bought 4 Hyper T2's so far and every fan has been near silent and performed great, maybe its just the CPU you're using?

Oh they are quiet, I just noticed the airflow from them is not the greatest, might try a different fan profile in the BIOS

Ohhh okay, yeah- I know what you mean by that. The cases I'm using them in typically have rear exhaust and front intake which tend to help that out.

Update:

 

Ok so I am getting windows updated to the latest stable version of 7 so while all 231 updates install I wanted to ask what benchmarks, games and basic tasks to you want to see ran on this system? I will also be installing XP once I find the disk to do more in depth testing with that and with possibly older games. As for the video that should be made Wednesday or Thursday depending on work :)

 

Also for possible benchmarks if you could leave the download link that would be appreciated, especially the harder to find ones that knowing my luck I won't ever find :P
