TBH, I'm not sure. It is the same memory I got from you Dave, when you sold me the first Sammy.

EDIT: I'm going to watch one of those X6DLP-EG2 mainboards on ebay, as I already have the Dynatron 'sinks for them.

If anyone sees any 2.0 GHz chips (or even the 1.67's :p:) going for a decent price (and possibly ship directly to Australia) over the next few weeks, I'm up for grabbing a pair. I know I can get the 1.67's for about US$120 + shipping for a pair, but I'd prefer to either get the 1.67's for less or, even better, get some 2.0's.

FYI:
The 1667's will average 6700 a day
The 2000's will average 7300 a day

I have got DDR2 533 ECC/REG here, I will post results on whether it works or not.

I tried DDR2-533 ECC REG and didn't work for me.:(

I figure that if I get the 1667's, I should be able to use the pin mod to get them up to at 10x200, and see if I might even be able to get 'em to boot at 2660 (although I'd be fairly surprised if they did :p:). Mind you, I'd probably be doing pin mods on the 2000's too, just to see what they're capable of :D

Eller

Ya I'm hoping to pinmod the 2000's to 2400, too :)

how does the pinmod work on pins, do you use a wire or something to connect two pins, and is it reversable?

You use a thin wire, yes. For example one strand of an old IDE cable works great. It's easily reversible, just remove the wire.

awesome lol, all i need now is the ram psu and an hd, wonder if that 20gb i gutted would hold linux on it?

20gb is plenty even for win XP.

20GB is plenty for Vista as well :up:


As for the pinmod, I have also seen people doing a u-wire mod instead of the pinmod. it's easier since you won't have to fiddle with the pins.

I've ordered a 370w Pc power&cooling PSU for my Sossaman system. this one

It's an 80plus efficient psu , which means at least 80% efficiency at 20% of 370w. 370w x 20% = 74w . Looks like a good match for such a low power system. I've also ordered a 4pin to 8pin adapter, just to be safe.

You learn something new everyday.
Here I am preaching that the only sossaman chips made were 1667's and 2000's.. WRONG!
They made a 13 multi 2167mhz version with the stepping of SL9HM:up:

I emailed them with this:
Sirs;
If the price drops on the following part to the $150.00 range please contact me.

..... mmm... I call shens.. & I blame the website.. I just did a *quick* search of the Intel website - there were no search results for SL9HM :( - I searched both the entire Intel website *&* their 'Processor Spec Finder' - both turned up nothing - I find it rather odd that the 'creator' has no clue about the 'created' ;)

wiki doesnt show anything either

& here is why I blame the website: there is a s479 2.16Ghz CPU - for normal lappies - so my guess is they got the 'Xeon' part wrong.. :) - here's my proof, RE: the laptop part:

http://processorfinder.intel.com/Lis...earchKey=SL9HM

*edit*: one of those lappie CPUs has sSpec code: SL9JN - 'J' & 'N' - both keys are right next to 'H' & 'M' ;) :shrug:

I dare ya to contact him & ask for a pic - of the IHS that is :D ;)

you contact and ask. I've already written him telling him he's a crook!:rofl:
Seriously, cpu world is pretty reputable and this guy is selling them?
Makes me think they do exist..
13 multi..200FSB pin mod..2600mhz..hmm..
an 11,440 a day WCG sossaman.. for 117w..:rofl:
Use SetFSB with some 533 memory( if it works) and bump up to say 231.
3000mhz..:p:
Now thats something I have never tried, SetFSB with this.
I wonder if there is one for it?:confused:
same chipset as my 3600/2mb/800 xeons and none for that, I looked,asked and begged for that sucker long ago.
