Recently picked up a workstation with UltraSparc III from a friend, his job sold it to him for 50zł Unfortunetely one cpu slot on the mobo is broken, but the rest of the hardware is fine, including a 670Watt behemoth of a psu. This thing is gonna be watercooled and running gentoo linux after we're done with it. The CPU card is about the size of a full blown GPU This thing had x64 instructions (but ONLY x64), and 8 gigs of ram in 2003. used to cost about $12.000 Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted |

Here in Poland it's pretty rare to find a PC on the street, more likely if you dig around corporate dumpsters but these are usually locked and getting there can get you in trouble, coolest thing i found on the street were cases full of 3,5" floppies from 1993-2002 with some spreadsheets on them. there even were phone numbers of shops and stuff like that on these but i did't bother calling any of them LMAO. I wish i lived in U.S. sometines just because of the amount of stuff shops throw out from returns. At least that's what i heard.

I would run some benchmarks on it because you can actually overclock this machine a little bit, the trouble is this thing would never ever run windows, it was designed for the solaris OS, and i don't think any linux benchmarks are legal at hwbot?  |

i wouldnt even know where to start with that mother of a thing lol, the guy across the road works on the council up at the local tip or dump, he said to me the bin is full of computers all the time for scrap metal and i asked him if he could grab em for me, he said he cant because of the security fences and cameras everywhere, back in days gone by you could go scabbing anything in the tip and no one gave 2 shits, it was 1st in best dressed for what you found and wanted, back them computers never even interested me lol, what a waste

Yes there are and for points too So far: HWBotPrime GeekBench single/multiithread That's some great news for me, expect some benches on that completely esotheric cpu in like few months, because i'll be waiting for a new mobo. but when i get it working, hell i'll bench that guy  |

Overclocking a toaster might be quite tricky without causing your house to catch on fire, especially if you want to overvolt a bit more |
