Amithlon Computer

[Effy]

As for GeForce2, be sure to get a real GeForce2 and not like I did, a mega fast gfx card BASED on the GeForce2 chipset, Hercules Prophet II 64 Mb. Didn't work at all, only got one screenmode you get with every gfx card that is not supported. Now I use a real Geforce II MX 400 PCI and it works great !!!
Now I have Amithlon running on a 366 Mhz Celeron and it works fine. I used to have it running to test on a AMD1700+ with extra on board IDE controller, so 4 IDE ports, and it didn't give any problem to access all devices in Amithlon.  
Tried to access the Net with a RTL8139 but didn't work ...

I use a very old scrap 40 Mb IDE harddisc that I formatted in Windows and this thing boots up Amithlon for me. My config is cheap. It's a Fujitsu Cordant, a Celeron 366 Mhz with 440 Mb Ram, GeForce2 MX 400 64 Mb gfx, SB128 PCO sound but no network yet, 6 Gb hd and 40x cdrom. Thing works like a charm.
Memory. I tested Amithlon first on my main pc with 1,5 Gb of memory. Refused to work, got error message that there was not enough memory avaliable ...  :-o
1 Gb seems to be the limit ...

@Bill : I only got one screenmode using my Hercules Prophet II Titanium GeForce2 based card. Don't know what went wrong.

Booting this PC with Amithlon at 366 Mhz ...
-hit the power button
-Bios : 30 secs
-Amithlon : 30 secs
-OS 3.9 : 15 secs

Which means 1:15 min. to get into workbench with backgrounds and AmiDock loaded and ready to work ... my A1230 used to be a little bit faster ...
