Hah thanks man, my I850 system is now done after working a good 5 years on it mainly finding the right parts to max upgrade it as native as possible. That means no use of convertors, or other odd methods, like Bios hacks/mods etc. The Leadtek Geforce4 Ti-4600 was the VGA card of choice since it's suits it very well and it's the original GPU I had back in it's day, so a perfect fit; CPU & Ram are maxed out, all in all it performs greatly The Sony GDM FW900 would be nice to have for this system, it is the best CRT Made that has an aspect ratio of 16:10 has a max reso of 2304 x 1440 x32 @ 80 Hertz; This was quite the thing to get back then, but oh well I don't have such a screen so my Compaq S710 will have to do for now That Sony GDM FW900 ain't mine, but I wish it was I'd choose this over any flat panel even these days

rjohnson11 It amazes me that these 12+ year old parts still continue to work.
Maintenance is key man, the Voodoo5 is 17 years old almost it's from week 29, Year 2000 ;) my oldest functional card is a Quantum3D Obsidian2 X24 PCI 24MB 384Bit EDO Rev.D 9822 / Fourth Final Revision D, Year 1998, Week 22. As this topic from October 18, 2013 shows: http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2041448 So yeah I have much older working hardwware, the system that X=24 is in is from Q2 of 1999 Well over 18 years old My trick is keeping the parts as clean as possible, dust is a killer for everything. With these oldies it's much less work than these new gen things we have now, cases are much larger they have more fans in them even the water cooled systems it's all a lot more work they have radiators that have fans thus where there are fans there is always airflow thus suction of air particles which forms loads of micro dust when using it more than 3 a 4 weeks. Due to all the hard to reach places in these new gen systems even if they are gaming systems workstations or even servers, it's just a lot more work to keep clean. I Just go to my balcony I use air cans ( Pressurized Air Duster Cans ) for the hard to reach places since taking my servers apart isn't possible for me due to my arthritis I have in my hands. Air cans remove about 80% of the dust then I use a soft paint brush to get rid of the dust to where I can reach it, that mostly does the trick a lot. As Maintenance goes it's a lot more work to keep clean than to just build a new system, with Retro builds it's easier since everything is much easier to reach, in some kind of way.

Okay well I have started taking the System Sveta SMP 2004 apart; All by removing it's MSI MS-9130 K8T Master2 FAR motherboard with CPU's, Ram &CPU Coolers installed as one whole. Then I took out all the other remaining parts like the optical drives the floppy & hard drive all the case fans etc. Here a galley of pics I will show you on how far I have gotten today: This is what I began with, slowly taking the thing apart: Here I loosened some of the PATA cables and other power connectors etc: Here the rear of the Mobo tray, showing square holes: These square holes are for spacers you click in from this side. Here is how I cleaned most of the metal parts and larger non electrical parts: And here the result after treatment: Carefully I start removing parts like the PSU shown here, I used pliers to cut away the old tie wraps, and gently checked the cables , all seemed find in the end: Removal of Floppydrive after removing the harddrive & optical drives: Here I observed the dirty parts before removing other vital parts: Inspecting other parts like this fan before removal: These old parts were also removed & cleaned and repacked, the MSI Dual Opteron setups will be sold. Funds will go in to this project: Top of the case features extra hidden HDD bays for more storage, always an handy thing to have around: Case fans rear; Right = Before Left = After: Case fans top; Right = Before Left = After: All the fans & Optical drives cleaned ready to be reused: Addtronics 6896A Entry Level Server Tower frame cleaned, ready for re-use: All cleaned up ready for motherboard placement: Rear of mobo tray cleaned: Rear of case cleaned: Nice and clean, this system will be a blast to the past for many Dual Xeon users: This case is from 1996 my goal is to make this build look brand new, the hard work is paying off so far: IO Panel made a photo of it since it's placed at an awkward location top right of the motherboard instead of bottom right. This photo will come in great handy: So that is all I did for today, more I hope for tomorrow, stay tuned

**Progress Update** Today I cleaned cleaned the PSU and applied the heatsink brackets with the proper sized M4 Bolts, nuts and nylon rings and the Motherboard has also been placed in the case. This system is finally taking shape, just waiting for my Noctua NT-H! Thermal compound to arrive so I can place the TERAMAX Polargate coolers Cleaned the PSU: Other view of cleaned PSU: Closeup of cleaned PSU: Socket 603 CPU Cooler Brackets finally placed, top view: Rear view, thanks to my dad he help make these M4 bolts, nuts & nylon rings fit Here the motherboard neatly mounted in the case: Sveta SMP 2003 after adding Optical drives, Hard & LS-120 drives + some case parts: Sveta SMP 2003 side view Before PSU & CPU Coolers placing Here some info of the CPU's I am actually using for this build: http://www.cpu-world.com/...0(BX80532KC3000H).htmlThey are a pair of Intel Xeon MP SL79V 3Ghz HT Gallatin Server CPU's tback in 2004 they had a MRSP of 3692 USD Each... These CPU's are also the only Socket 603 Gallatin Xeons that have a Level 3 Cache of 4MB, all the others have either 1MB or 2MB Here a the VERAX Polargate Coolers mounted on the CPU's: As I have been going through this build, I do find that this is a very complicated build, all because of the crappy layout of the CPU's being in the upper front part of the motherboard. It's gonna be a pain mounting the PSU 's 24 Pin & 8 Pin CPU Power Connectors because these are on the far upper right of the mobo along the edge... The 4 Pin is simple since that one is on the upper left of the motherboard alongside the edge, also I dunno what to do with the remaining cables of the CPU Coolers plus them RPM dip switches, need to find a way to neatly bind them. My PATA-133 cables seem a it on the short side as well, one thing is for sure this system is gonna get SATA-II-300 rofl, so much easier to cable manage. For SATAII-300 I need an Areca, Adaptec or Supermicro PCI-X -66 Mha SATAII-RAID 5 card, with that two 256GB SSD's in RAID 0 should make things more speedy :) But yeah I'll see what I can make out of this odd ball

So here the final pics of this beautiful yet complicated build Here the Western Digital Server Edition 250GB 7200rpm PATA-133 HDD connected: Here the Mitsubishi Electronics LS-120 Super Floppy Drive PATA-133 connected: PSU & IO Bay: Doing final checks, to see if everything is well connected and placed: The cable management was an utter PITA, but I did manage alright: Here a closeup of installed cards: Ready to place the case panels: Cleaned Case Panels top: Cleaned Case Panels rear: And here's the completed result Tomorrow I will install it as I am super tired now, my arthritis in my hands is really playing up as well. Ah well I have to admit even that this system was complicated to build, it was very challenging for my skills in making a clean build; So even for that part this was well worth doing. Major thanks to SadTropher from 2CPU.com Community for helping me to obtain some of it's vital parts and everyone else for tips to make this the better system

First bootup worked and I had to readjust the ATA flatcable connector on the mobo for the HDD and the DVD -Rom and it's installing WinXP Pro x88 USA + SP3 Only I can't get it to see the LS_120 during bootup, but it may be seen in WinXP Pro So I will keep you guys informed. Also I may use my PC-800-40ns ECC Samsung Original RDRAM from my P4 and use this Kingston memory in the P4 it seems it's not ECC but it does how ever bootup fine with it. That was an interesting find I must conclude. Main thing I am just happy it works without too many worries And it works! Here the bootup screen: Here the system running with all the ledded fans giving life Here the system installing Windows XP Professional x86 USA + Service Pack 3: More pics to follow

Major downside: I can use either the GeForce 6800 GT AGP 256MB which is set to IRQ 22 or the V5 5500 PCI Mac, to which IRQ I cant seem to find. Basically the GeForce won't function if the V5 is installed no matter what slot I use I get constant conflicts. If I remove the V5 all is fine if I use the V5 alongside the GeForce the V5 works the GeForce gets IRQ Issues and will remain to be seen as GeForce 6800 with a yellow explanation mark in the device manger. So it's either the GeForce 6800 GT AGP 256MB or the PC Flashed Voodoo5 5500 PCI Macintosh 64MB and not both. I also tried normal PCI slots for the V5 and again No Go, nada, nothing. It could be that this motherboard doesn't like having multiple VGA Cards installed of varied brands. I don't know what else o think of it, oh well bad things can happen ... I guess, can't have everything, the Dual OpteronMP 850 CGI used before this had no issues with multiple VGA cards. A Shame for that part as I really had hoped this to work, yet it does not. So if any of you have idea's how to get this working feel free to place input on that I just am out of options as of now. No luck with the V5, even after disabling IRQ's in the bios like you suggested, no change this is what I did do before removing the V5 for the last time: But as you can see the V5 installed perfectly yet the GeForce gets the issues, even that it too is installed perfectly. When I remove the V5, this issue is gone, as if this never took place.

No pain no gain as they say. Love the retro mods just as much as the modern mods.

Hah thanks man! Here my result after a default run in 3D mark 2001 SE Build 330 So hey for the best Dual Intel CPU based system money could buy in Dec 2003 / Jan 2004 20802 3D marks is pretty good I think No OC everything default, as I want to most accurate result of this 15.000 USD Dual Xeon Gallatin 3Ghz from that time. My P4 2Ghz gets 10714 3D Marks with a Leadtek GeForce 6800 AGP 128MB 256Bit DDR1. This card uses the NV42 GPU which has 12 Pixel Shaders and 5 Vertex Shaders The 6800 GT AGP 256MB 256Bit GDDR3 uses the NV40 GPU which has 16 Pixel Shaders and 6 Vertex Shaders, thus being the real deal here Anyways here the score of my P4 2Ghz, the CPU was obviously the major bottleneck here: The Dual Intel XeonMP Gallatin 3Ghz with it's 6800 GT AGP 256MB Destroys this P4 2Ghz with it's 6800 AGP 128MB by a mile! The P4 2Ghz is holding the 6800 AGP 128MB back, it truly shows

Yeah thanks I was really impressed on how much faster the Dual Xeon MP Gallain 3Ghz is over the Pentium4 Willamette 2Ghz rofl,about twice as fast, even that both setups use the same CPU instruction sets MMX, SSE & SSE2, they both have the same RDRAM amount and they both use ECC as well, i850 & i860 are of the same age and family class. This was very worth while to look in to, I use the DUal gallatin a lot btw, it's a very interesting and fun system to use and to mess around with

The Pentium 4 was not that great of a CPU for Intel in my personal opinion. It had a lot of heat and was really big.

Yeah it did yet the Thermaltake Indigo Orb kept it around 55 a 60C and no higher it was the best cooler for the Socket 423 P4's these were the first Gen P4's as well it had to start somewhere AMD's Athlon Thunderbird 1400Mhz destroyed the P4 2Ghzwith plentiful ease with most games, just as long SS2 wasn't used the Athlons were faster. Athlons also had much higher FPU's that P4's the only things P4's were good at doing was Lame MP3 Encoding Quake III Arena & Descent 3 for the rest, Athlons were really your best bet same as Ryzen 5 1600x is today. The Xeon MP Gallatin for Socket 603 was the S423 P4 CPU for Multi CPU platforms it is also the real deal as in the full package. Pentium 4 Willamette 2Ghz has 32KB L1 and 256KB L2 but no L3 and no Hyper Threading Xeon MP Gallatin 3Ghz has 128KB L1, 512KB L2 and 4096KB L3 + Hyper Threading. Both CPU's only have MMMX, SSE & SSE2, both didn't have SSE3 yet. Both used Rambus PC-800-40ns ECC RDRAM Pentium 4 Willamette used the intel 850 Chipset and Socket 423 later 478 & 775. Xeon MP Gallatin used Socket 603 and later Socket 604 & 771. All in all netburst wasn't grand it needed long ram bandwidth based apps to get the max out of but not allw as bad Hyper Threading was a handy idea The LGA 1155 Core i7's, Core i5's & Core i3's used Hypter Threading for the first time since the P4 & Xeon DP's/MP's had it, LGA 1366 improved the tech once more. My Goal was to renovate and build a max upgraded Socket 423 based P4 2Ghz and a Dual Socket 603 Xeon MP 3Ghz and that was a successful project. One I am very proud of doing It was very edicate just on how these things perform, the Gallatin system performs very well compared to the Willamette system

@Gold Leader,
I have a question please: You're using an Asus P4T with an Enermax modu 82+ but an modu 82+ do not provide -5V voltage (white cable) output. The P4T mainboard bios analyse the -5V voltage so what did you do in order to run the P4T mainboard? Did you set up in the Bios the -5V voltage monitoring to ignore and so the P4T can run without the -5V voltage? And the main question: Will the P4T work with newer PSU without the white cable -5V voltage - did you have any further experience with that?

My P4T has a beta Bios Bios 1.006 Beta 4, I can make a dump for you this Bios also adds PC-800-40 ECC memory support. As for the PSU? I just connected the 20Pin + 4 Pin ATX 12 V power and it all worked fine really. As the -5voltage thing goes I never came across it, so dunno man on such things if a PU don't work I just get an other one that does. it's been a while I have used my P4T system I can check for you but as far as I can recall I have not seen as well as not noticed any issues when it came to that -5 volt rail. The Enermax Modu 82+ 525 Watt PSU's I use for both ASUS P4T & Supermicro P4DCE+II both run dead stable. And to answer your question I didn't see any of such issues. So maybe Bios 1.006 Beta 4 evaded it? I have no idea on such things :) If it works and it ain't broke? No need to fix or replace it

This thread brings back some memories of systems past. I remember my first "gaming" PC with a Pentium 2 350Mhz, 64MB RAM and a Voodoo 2 12MB video card. It let me play Unreal at 1024x768 max settings smooth as butter. PC's I had before that were just generic junk. Wish I still had some of my older stuff to do a classic system restore like this. I do still have these though.......
Intel i9 14900K ...............................Ryzen 9 7950X3D MSI RTX 4090 Gaming Trio................ASRock Phantom RX 7900 XTX Samsung Odyssey G9.......................PiMax 5K Super/Meta Quest 3 ASUS ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming........ASUS TUF Gaming X670E Plus WiFi 64GB G.Skill Trident Z5 6800Mhz.......64GB Kingston Fury RGB 6000Mhz MSI MPG A1000G 1000w..................EVGA G3 SuperNova 1000w

Them two NV45's are too new for my tastes ;) It needs to be AGP 3.0 x8 by the latest hehe :) Evenso in this thread you might wanna read then since it's goes about my renovated Intel BX440 chipset based P3/E 650Mhz 3Dfx Retro Gaming PC from March 25, 1999: https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2736703

1999? An 18 year old system. Outstanding.
