He bought it at some gameshow in germany...one of the espensive models.
Had 2 DVD drives for some reason xD but I still dont what its CPU is...
The damn thingy was 1.60 ghz fast.........according 2 wikipedia, the fastest CPUs back in 2000 had about 1.00 Ghz...anyone what kind of CPU that is??(Oh yeah the BIOS always saz that)
The Pentium Pro wasn't the successor to the Pentium 1/MMX it was more like the server version of them (similar to the Xeon procs today) except it was an almost completely different architecture.
Hey man whats up. This Pentium Pro is the 1MB L2 cache version. These come in black packaging. The ones that come with the gold top are the 512KB L2 cache versions so there are actually a lot of those out there, mainly came out of dual and quad pentium pro server motherboards.
My comment is a little late but thanks for the info. I actually just found an old Pentium Pro desktop system out for trash on the side of the road which I picked up. It's missing the cover but It runs really well, I'm thinking about installing Windows 2000 on it.
The black P Pro's have 1mb L2 cache built into the CPU die..it runs at full speed..not 1/2 speed like it did even on cpu's up the early Pentium III's so it's a very snappy CPU for it's time.
The P Pro was never made in 2mb versions
a dual 1mb P Pro PC with for example Windows 2000 can be very usable even today
I have a quad Pentium PRO system with Win2K still functional.
There was octal PPRO motherboards too.

@Dant2142 Pentium 60-100MHz and Pentium MMX in order five stage dual pipeline architecture.
PPRO first out of order x86 architecture.

Yeah, I have a Pentium Pro machine with the standard 512k l2 and it runs just fine. I still pull it out every once in a while.
nerdy1351 2 years ago
