Re: How to upgrade memory on my 386sx

Good job tracking down the bad DRAMs. I used to toss out a lot of SX-16 and SX-20 motherboards in the 90s, but this one is definitely worth keeping due to its novelty of of being a 386SX "tacked onto" a 286 motherboard. You need to install some crappy operating systems to compliment it. I Recommend …

Turn off agp features, sideband addressing and fast writes. I bet ECS has them on by default.

Makes sense, 32bit tsop would be to large and to many pins, VGA chips is where you start to see 32,bit chips though sgram could have the pins for 32bit because it has pins on all 4 sides where as normal DDR only has pins on the long sides. Re of thumb for normal tsop DDR is only 4 likely 16bit chips …

Your limited by the Isa bus Beyond a certain point it's no longer useful. For 486 you want vlb as even a Trident vlb is faster than any isa, and for Pentium class you want pci

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the CPU was bad. I got this PC almost 4 years ago from someone who worked at my high school's tech school. It was full of garbage and ransomware and all that jazz. Hopefully I'll get this up and running soon. For now I'll see if I can get audio working without …

Good idea it really looks like either your cpu is faulty or your bosrd Or the cooler. I have seen those Dell heatpipe coolers leak out and not cool the CPU anymore which causes throttling.... but CPU-Z showed full speed so it doesn't make a lot of sense. I almost think if the 100C temp is wrong …

Ok what I'm starting to think is your cpu temp sensor is broken, can you swap in another cpu.

Wait grab gpuz, Everest home is to old to read your hardware, the latest home release is 2004, your hardware is newer, all of of it is. Check in gpuz. I dunno why I didn't think of that, I use aidia64 for XP and up because I have a license for it.

Check your gpu speeds with Everest and check fan speeds, if the 7900gs has a fan failure or can't ramp up it defaults to 2d clocks, also change the 14 year old tim. Those cards will stick to 2d clock if they overheat, don't get enough power, fan doesn't spin right.
Re: Heat problems K6-2, Help needed!
Posted on 2020-07-01, 16:12
Remember also that the tx chipset is old, while the board may support k6-2 it may not understand the cxt version that mapped 2x to 6x and may default to the p55c split rail voltage instead but work fine with earlier k6-2 series chips.

Is it possible to see from the card itself without installing it to a pc if my mx4000 is 64 or 32 bit? Edit: it is an AGP card made by gainward and 128Mb of video ram with dvi, vga and tv-out Supposedly 64bit cards always have both/all memory locations populated on both sides. Whereas 32bit cards …

Yea I'll try to get some better shots, might even draw it out. Also it dawned on me I've got one side of ram working so I should be able to swap ram one by one to find the duds by removing one good dipp and testing the 18 chips on the other bank one by one.
