This is a box I got for free but never got around to doing anything with
before Peter's recent "Clearout" got me something better (thanks again).
Dell Precision 380; a ~2005/2006 era machine.
Not having done anything with it I've no idea what the detailed spec is.
What I do know:
Sticker on the front says "Pentium D"; these were the last gasp of
Intel's "Netburst" architecture before the "Core2" stuff came along.
Supposed to be able to do 64 bit.
It has NO hard drives. 2 empty bays with SATA cabling.
It does have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive of some sort. And a floppy drive.
4 RAM slots, fully populated, but I've no idea what by; would be
surprised if there wasn't at least 2GByte (Dell claims these systems
support up to 8GByte). If it makes a difference, ask and I'll pull a
stick and take a look.
The PCIe x16 in the box is empty but see below.
Case is typical Dell easy-to-open job, with some funky ducting around
the CPU; probably quite quiet.
Comes with a few other bits if wanted:
- A mysterious single 1GByte RAM stick which may or may not be
compatible.
- An ATI X800XL (256MByte) PCIe graphics card (VGA+DVI outs).
- Power cord.
Going for free; collect from Marchmont.
The list will nuke the reply-to address; you can reach me at
timday at bottlenose.demon.co.uk.
