    Re: Frog —Mike Stanley
   (...) Might as well go with the Abit BX6 rev 2 now. It has 4 DIMM sockets and supports higher clock multipliers. And you won't really outperform a real P2-450, but you will come close to matching it. I'd say in some things I outperform my P2-400. (26 years ago, 14-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
   
        Re: Frog —Jasper Janssen
     (...) But how stable is it? :-) (...) Hmm.. I believe the difference was... 1-2% at most. Of course, games traditionally do better on celerons than Office apps, because of the lack of cache. I'm not sure how that balance has shifted with the albeit (...) (26 years ago, 14-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

      (...) Seems as stable as my BH6. Don't know why it would be any less stable. In another month I'll have 3 oc'ed 300a's. Two will be running in BX6-2's, one in a BH6. (...) It's hard for me to tell the difference in games because in my Celeron 450 at (...) (26 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
    
         Re: Frog —Steve Bliss
     (...) If someone has a 10 meg spreadsheet, it's time to move it to Access, at least. Maybe even move it to a real RDBMS.[1] --Steve [1] Don't get me wrong, I like Access a lot. But sometimes you just need to push all that processing off on some (...) (26 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
    
         Re: Frog —Jasper Janssen
     (...) That depends entirely on what kind of spreadsheet it is - some types just aren't suited to being pushed in a DB. (...) Well, why are you running Access at all, if you have a Linux box? All kidding aside, for a nice C/S DB solution, you _could_ (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
    
         Re: Frog —Steve Bliss
      (...) Rilly? I guess that's possible, I just haven't seen them. I _have_ seen too many spreadsheets trying to be applications, because the person who put the spreadsheet together was an Excel pro, and didn't know there were better ways to present (...)

In my department, the 2 of us, are neither Access nor Excel pros, however, the data we have needs to be presented as well as analyzed. We store the (...)

        Re: Frog —Jasper Janssen
   (...) ACK! I just read here that production of 300a, aka 450a, has been ceased :(( Let's see now... 83 * 5 = 415, 92 * 5 = 475, but that's pushing it. Jasper (26 years ago, 14-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
   
        Re: Frog —Mike Stanley
   (...) Yup. If you don't have a 300a by now you're gonna have to be lucky to get one, especially a retail one like the 3 I have. I bought 2 of mine a month or so ago before I needed them because I knew they'd become scarce. Wish I'd bought 4 like my (...) (26 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
