what to do with this archaic system?
Posted: Fri Jul 26, 2002 11:38 am
IBM Aptiva 335 Model 2144-25P
around 10 years old.
64 MB RAM maximum; i got at least 32 MB scraped up out from my windowsills and i think i found a stick in my A/C filter the other day
any idea could i put a 10/100 ethernet card in there? i am not sure the latest NIC cards would fit in there; anyone know what would fit?
i have this Intel dx4ODP100 Overdrive chip (100MHz) i am gonna pop it in. on the built-in HS, it reads, "C5210512,SZ957 V1.1"
350MB HD, i wonder what is the maximum size i could put in there ? 1.5Gb maybe? i can deal w/ 1.5Gb
it used to run Win95 very well, even play some videos, but the main goal now is to make it a dedicated WAP server, just for experimental/developmental purposes.
actually, i have 2 of these Aptiva models, 1 is stock, and the other has had some upgrades. the one with the upgrades had some problems with the mobo, so i parted it out and plan to put some of the stuff in the stock system.
how high can i OC this CPU? and what do you think would be the best way to do it? i mean, i see some jumpers on the board, but i think i am gonna have to do some things to the BIOS mostly.(don't remember a lot about the BIOS, but it seemed pretty comprehensive)
don't know if this is significant about the CPU, but when you look at the core from the back, reading the S/N on the core, the top right pin closest to the core is soldered to the pin above it.
i guess i am looking for anyone with experience with these older systems and their limitations. And can it do what i want it to?
