I never was into Intel back in the P2/P3 days. My buddy has a P3 850. I came accross a Celeron 1.1 for him. I figured it's got to be faster with that much of a clock increase. We benched is PC with 3DMark and a couple of game time demos, stuck the Celeron 1.1 in and ran same benches, and I couldn't believe how much less it performed than the P3 850.Originally posted by Dem
replace p3-450 with slocket + 1ghz-ish celeron, and you could do any number of respectable things with it .

That's a shame to see stuff like that get thrown away without letting employees have a chance at taking them home. Suppose maybe there might have been sensitive data on them or something?Originally posted by acra2
I've spent most my working weeks lauching PIII 800Mhz-1ghz 's in a skip, apparently there too slow......
Even worse, we're not allowed to give them a home..... so apparently that's what you do with a PIII 450...

guys can you please elaborate a little more on what yo mean by file server. Im not to familiar for its uses in the home, and how to actually set one up. The thing is that it runs WIN98SE and it wont let you have HD bigger than 80 gigs I think.
A PIII-450 to 1GHz? Umm...no....as in, "not a chance in hell, even with liquid nitrogen and 100 volts, running just long enough to POST"Originally posted by maxse

you've got to be kidding me...Boeing wipes the drives of their old computers and donates them...Originally posted by acra2

guys wouldnt it be cheaper to just add hard drives to ur new machine instead of having them in the old computer as storage?

so throw away the hard drives and donate the rest of the computer...Originally posted by acra2
As I work for the place that spends the taxes, we don't get tax breaks, and for that reason, the data on them is too sensitive to donate on the off chance that anything can be recovered and yes you could argue that you can get programs that write noughts and ones over the entire disk area but we have ways of recovering pass that (sometimes )
