[SunRescue] PPro Overdrive chips, anyone used them???

[Eric Ozrelic]

I would avoid those chips. Very few PPro motherboards support these CPU's.
IIRC you can only run 2 at a time as well. A PPro 200 with a large cache
will beat or come close to beating the overdrive chip.

Many on these lists indicated they were fond of the PPro processor, so I
pose the following for feedback...

At TCF there was a vendor with 333 MHz PPro Overdrive chips for about $80,
and I think I've seen them for about $90 on the Internet, any one log any
real time with one of these chips?

IIRC, these are PII CPUs with 512K cache, not sure of cache speed though...

Maybe I should have gotten one of those chips instead of going SMP PPro @
200 MHz (the cost to upgrade will be about $70 - $40 for the VRM, $18 for
the CPU, and $10 for the PPro fan)... But hey, the PPro Overdrive chips
can't do SMP, IIRC...

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Ken
