Not sure if it's the right section for it, but i just bumped in a local offer where a guy is selling an mt32 for 60 euros, and im wondering if it's a decent deal, just the normal price, or it already costs too much. Im tempted to buy it, but i definately wouldnt like to overpay the item.

I found people complaining that VIA USB 2.0 add on cards seriously hinder their CPU performance, removed mine, and voila! Increasing PCI latency to 255 should fix that. If it's any lower, it can have priority over other devices using the pci bus, and hog up CPU time and bandwidth that it doesn't …

Wasted an entire night trying to figure out that aureal problem and just spun my wheels. If anyone is interested the only driver that works for me with the EPoX MVP3G5 and ASUS v9980 is 52.16 from ASUS's site. And all the info I have for space marine right now: I did have some issues where the …

I'm using windows xp. I do have the pci latency issue though, at least I think. I finally got around to testing the sound card after I got my directx 8&9 tests working. There are bad crackling noises and what appears to be high CPU usage whenever sounds play. I think if I can fix this issue my DVDs …

Btw, thinking about it, 1 thing leaves me wondering: does the nvidia card run on a agp 2x slot? isn't the slot key preventing it to be inserted? And doesnt it fry at 3.3v?

It seems you have already tried a lot and invested lots of time. Following the "time = money" slogan I would ditch the board and try something else. Voodoo 2 SLI is much better off with a Slot 1 Intel BX440 chipset motherboard anyway :) Dont have any 440bx available atm, just a 440lx without …

Thank you for the answer 😁 from the shim images it looks like they are for athlon XPs, do you think they would be compatible with thunderbirds too? Dont wanna risk a short circuit, since they seems to be made of a metallic material 😁

Hi there, long time since last time i passed by ^^' I was rechecking my "retro hardware" lately and noticed that an athlon thunderbird CPU i have laying around has lost 2 of the 4 rubber feets on its top. Looking on google i have found that those feets were there for protecting the core from …
