Hmm is this your board: https://theretroweb.com/motherboard/image/pcchips-hsin-tech-m321-rev2-6-66e3463e6a16a440710022.jpg ? Yes some of the M321 have a crystal and some have a clock gen ic, an Av9107 or equal. There are 4 frequency available 40, 50, 66 and 80mhz from the IC. Depending on jumper …

In my opinion, you could already try the DX40, without changing anything, then if it works, and it almost certainly will, you could check in the bios, if it has options for the ISA slot frequency, in particular there should be a 1/5 divider, if there is I think you can start looking for an 80 MHz …

I was given an M321 with an Intel DX33, I wanted to swap in a DX40 but there isn't a crystal and looking at the documentation i can find there aren't jumpers to change, and I see a clock generator on the thing, does it auto detect the cpu somehow, and if it does can i just toss a 40mhz into it?

XP is a lot more tolerant with more recent drivers. The version that's considered the best for W98 isn't necessarily the best for XP. yes and no, ive found this version also best for Geforce4 MX cards, because past that optimization is soley focused on fixing the FX and DX9 preformance something …

get a budget PSU and test, the budget models still use group regulation like the old days see if that helps.

Store them similar to how they would have been boxed new. If you think all these NIB machines that are found in long locked up warehouses that would have been similar conditions to what you described and usually come out ok. You have the advantage of not having to worry about transport so can be …

It's one of the Rialto AGP bridge cards so that could be why. The drivers are rather unpredictable with them. Yes I'm not sure either, if I could get a working 6600gt or 6800 series ago I'd just go that route. I've been tempted to swap to a pice board and a quadro fx3450 I just tried Medal of Honor …
