Mojo
Mojo is my main desktop machine. Initially I had it built (by Centralfield in Sham Shui Po), but I keep updating it so it's mojo because "I got my mojo workin'..."
Hardware
When I first bought Mojo, it was configured as follows:
- ATX case by Asus
- P2B mother board by Asus
- Adaptec SCSI Card
- Matrox G200 Display card
- Soundblaster 64
- Pentium II 350 Mhz, 100Mhz FSB
- 128Mb Ram (pc100)
- 4Gb SCSI (seagate)
- Yamaha SCSI CD-R
- Floppy disk drive
I've recently upgraded mojo's motherboard and processor as well as the graphics card and some other stuff. The current configuration is:
- ATX case by Asus
- Abit VH6T motherboard
- Celeron 800 (100MHZ FSB) Socket 370
- MSI Starburst 8826 (Nvidia GeForce2 MX 400/64Mb
- SB!Live
- Adaptec SCSI Card
- 512Mb pc133 RAM, (2x256)
- Realtek 10/100 Mbs network card (ethernet)
- Yamaha SCSI CD-R
- Pioneer SCSI DVD
- 2x Seagate 6Gb SCSI (1xLinux, 1xWindows)
- 1x Seagate 9Gb SCSI (Windows)
- Floppy disk drive
Mojo's been updated again recently. Now it's got a Pentium III 1GHz processor, 768Mb Ram, a GeForce 3Ti200 vga card, a 60Gb IDE drive as well as the SCSI drives, a SB!Live DE soundcard, an IDE DVD drive. There's no Linux partition on it. I find it easier to have two machines running constantly than to reboot all the time.
A further recent update adds another 1Ghz PIII onto an ECS D6VAA mobo. It's now a dual PIII box, and there's a linux partition on it, but dual-booting with Win2k isn't as easy as I thought.
Software
When first purchased, mojo was a Win98 machine. It it was primarily to be used for games. Last year I got so fed up with Win98 crashing all the time, I put Windows 2000 on it.
It's also had linux on it since about RedHat 5.2. At the moment, I'm putting RedHat 7.1 (or maybe 7.2) on it. (There was some problem with the SCSI cable causing the drive to not be recognised.) Now that I have a more substantial Linux box, I may use that third disk for NTFS or for backups.
