Most powerful Socket7 system in the world ?

[Flash]

I've got six 1Gb PC-100 dimms and two dead (and it was only diodes , so i've just replaced them and now hdds is working) 40Gb Ultra160 drives, so i've upgraded
my server machine (also used to play old DOS games, because my new machine have only PCI sound cards with poor dos) compatibility)

So i think i have most powerful socket7 based system in the world

Current config:

CPU : K6-2+ 550@600
RAM : 6Gb
HDD: 2x20+2x40 SCSI U160 (no IDE at all)
Video: Voodoo5 5500 64mb PCI
Sound: AWE64 + Terratec EWS64XL

Why not to put RAM in my main machine
1) I have only 3 slots (2Gb or 3Gb - not a big difference, and even 512Mb is enough for emulation and most of games)
2) Oops.... beep... beep.... This memory doesn't work with i815

So now i have K6-2 on steroids

And of course i can't run DOS version of Quake and DOS MAME (They goin' crazy
even on 384Mb of RAM)

Can i find DPMI DOS extender working correctly with 512+ mb of RAM ?

1) What motherboard is that?

2) How the heck did you get 6 GB RAM working? I thought the K6-2 didn't support PAE, but I may be wrong.

3) What Mac emu are you running on your Music Factory box?

1) What motherboard is that?

Some unknown server mb (actually it named M5VEA) (9 PCI 4ISA,
6 SCSI Ultra160 channels), chipset is one big chip with "Orion QX" on it. Maybe some
custom military or industrial mb.
I've dumped BIOS rom and found some interesting strings:

PENTIUM 6x86 AMD K5 AMD K6(tm) AMD K6-2(tm) AMD-K6-III(tm) AMD K6-2+(tm)
AMD K6-3+(tm) A686E A686EP RXE6 Sylver-B

A686 is nothing more than P2 clone for Socket7 w/ 256K onboard cache and thermal throttle support (will slow down when overheated) Looks like Cyrix MII w/ very good FPU

A686EP is same but have additional FPU
for cryptography functions and no MMX (rare Russian military stuff, outdated though)



But wadda hell iz RXE6 and Sylver-B ? Never heard about them.



2) How the heck did you get 6 GB RAM working? I thought the K6-2 didn't support PAE, but I may be wrong.

It can be done through chipset.

And with all that strange stuff everything is possible.
Flying Dutch... board







3) What Mac emu are you running on your Music Factory box?

Fusion PC 3.0 (to boot directly from Wiin98 startup menu) and Basilisk II
