FS: Pegasos 2 G3

[smithy]

Pegasos 2 G3
Voodoo 5
20Gb hard disk (I think, it could be 30, 40 or 60)
MorphOS 1.4.2 (I think)
The Pegasos 2 firmware hasn't been updated for a long time
DVD drive
A cool ANTEC Aria MATX Cube Case - 300W

Note: I never hooked the USB ports up to the motherboard.

Hardly ever used.

Will consider offers.

What speed is the cpu, how ram ?
 
and is this still availiable . Have sent you a PM

[keropi]

if it is G3, then 600mhz

[jj]

anyone got experience with this version of peg 2. is it fast enough for morphos 2 ?
 
how hard are the g4 cpu cards to come by and how much they go for

[jj]

and how does aos4.1 run on it ?

[Jakodemus]

600mhz is more than enough for MorphOS 2.x.

anyone got experience with this version of peg 2.

Yes, I have one G3 Pegasos 2 myself (and one G4 as well).

is it fast enough for morphos 2 ?

 
Depends on what you will use it for, of course.

how hard are the g4 cpu cards to come by and how much they go for

Extremely hard. I'd say that 99.99% of the people bought their Pegasos 2's in motherboard+CPU bundles only. They figured out what kind of price/performance was the most suitable for them, and then they bought that combo.

In fact, I can only recall one occasion where I have seen someone selling a CPU card stand-alone: Magnetic, on MorphZone.org

[jj]

so the cpu cards are specific to the peg 2 and not available elsewhere ?

@smithy, Hi , I had peg 2 and G4 cpu module, my cpu modue was broken then I bought a g3 from ebay, but I could not run g3 on my peg 2, chould you please send me bus frequency jumper settings of your g3 cpu module

[Matt_H]

so the cpu cards are specific to the peg 2 and not available elsewhere ?

Correct.

[Ruud]

I have sent you a pm :-)

Sorry everyone.. I hadn't been checking the thread.

@JJ
128Mb of RAM.  Not sure of the clockspeed (600Mhz sounds familiar though).
No idea about MOS2.
No idea about OS4.1 either.

@ozkana
I have no idea how to find that information out, sorry ;-)

Peg2 G3 is fine.
MorphOS 2 runs pretty fast on it.

But you will need 256 RAM or more to be able to enjoy it to the max.
OS 4.1 is really fast on Peg2 but I only have seen it on G4 machine -mine-.

A friend runs it on G3 and says it is fast.

In general benchmarks say that in general OS4 runs faster (!) than Samantha on Peg.

how much ram can a peg 2 take and is it ddr ?

[takemehomegrandma]

how much ram can a peg 2 take

It depends a little on the board revision, if you use single or dual memory modules, models, etc.

If it's a rev 2B5 motherboard, it may take up to 2GB, if you use *paired* (identical) 1GB modules, check the linked thread for details. Older versions than 2B5 have problems with this. Neko is running 1GB on his 2B3 revision board. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with a single 512MB. Feel free to ask follow up questions in that thread, as chances are you will get a more clever answer there than here... ;-)

MorphOS runs with 128MB, but 256MB does really make a difference.

and is it ddr ?

Yes.
