Well, I think I may be building a LAN box in the future, and I kinda want to try the P4 this time around. Hopefully, I will build this system in a few months time.
 
Iwill P4D (i845-D)
P4 1.6GHz retail
256MB PC2100 Corsair value-select
ATI Radeon 8500LE 64MB
Panasonic 32x CD-ROM
Maxtor 20GB 5400RPM ATA100
Some 10/100 NIC I have lying around
ATX midtower case
300W ATX 2.03 Macron Power I have lying around
MS Intellimouse Optical
Logitech Keyboard
15" monitor (maybe 17"---I wanna keep this whole build under $700)
 
This will take my total # of PC's I own up to 4.

Well, I ordered the CPU, mobo, and video card this morning. I'll buy the RAM locally ($59 for a 256MB stick of Samsung PC2700--better than online prices!) This should be fun...Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha:D

you go p4 in the end?

i think i can win this one
 
supermicro p4cd6+
p4 xeon 2.2ghz (times 2)

all on a 21" sony trinitron
 
btw yea i remember that guy "why is my system so dope"
kinda goofy

Yeah. I figured this would be nice to play with as I already know the AMD side of things. I needed to keep up with the desktop portion of Intel. I've heard a lot of good things about Iwill--which is good considering they're trying to make headway in the dual-processor/server board end of things.

What do you run on this cluster, some DB app?

OK let's play who can make up the best system, as some are already.

See below:

Got my chip up to 2.32GHz with 1.6volts and stock cooling (didn't even slop on some better thermal goop) and my Radeon LE up to 290/317 ATM. Who's on?

Well mines on 16*137 = 2192 at default voltage atm....you wanna fight
 
Not sure what it will do but ive had no probs so far. Mines rambus though on an Abit TH7-II RAID.

mine is default at 2.2ghz and 1.5 volts
but they run really hot
#1 120f
#2 128f
thats after several hours of wolf.
it's tons hotter than the p3 but intel says the max temp for them is 180f

Just out of interest....you lot with p4s, what voltages does you cpu get when running at the stock voltage. I know that the p4 spec is 1.5v but ive had 2xAbit TH7-IIs now and they both give around 1.38v when set to 1.5v in the bios (default).
 
Do you guys actually get 1.5v????

stock here is 1.4
both are reading 1.42

16*150 to get 2.4GHz and right now it's sitting at 38*C (no more than 45* or so under full load) with a GF4 Ti4600 at stock speeds. But I had this bus speed a while back, screw the slow 133 spec coming out...
