Building a Dual Pentium III Server Running Windows NT 4.0
Since I started meddling with classic Windows NT back in 2014, I’ve moved between running a domain controller on a virtual machine and a real one. Particular connectivity issues I’ve been having with a virtual machine running Windows 2000 Server residing on a Linux host now prompt me to put one of my dual Slot 1 motherboards (Asus P2B-DS) to good use, and I figured I may as well document the whole process on video since most YouTubers still don’t seem to understand Windows NT at all. This is the first part of the installation.
Originally, this was going to be a dual Pentium II 400MHz build, but changed midway into a dual Pentium III 800MHz build because the server was running quite a bit too hot for my liking. Coppermine CPUs have a lower TDP rating than fast Pentium II CPUs up to a certain speed, and modern thermal paste should be of help as well. 440BX motherboards must be a late enough revision to be able to work with Coppermine CPUs; revision 1.06 of the Asus P2B-DS has that support for their lower voltages.
