Plz before doing anything recap it. The caps Soyo, abit and others used at the time can pop at any second. Edit: Those shiny silver crappy caps on your particular board give me PTSD. Since I thought they were fine when I pulled them off a dead 478 Soyo matx ATI based board to "fix" a 462 Abit …

All you do is take a standard solder ATX connector, take out both dell connectors, and open up the solder holes for the ATX, solder the ATX connector in. Dell connector has one pin missing. Cheers, I don't quite follow.. I can't remember who made them or the name of the threads, but Im pretty sure …

for the Phenom ii check out the 925. Its a 95watt 2.8 quad core with good OC headroom and around $10 on the evil bay How is that a better option than an athlon ii 640? More juicy l3 cache, more instruction sets iirc and power delivery/saving stuff, voltage tolerance. By the time the 925 rolled out …

Could always see about messaging the seller and seeing if he would be willing to copy the CD and email you the drivers. Sometimes sellers are super nice

Finally got my G4560/H170 8gb DDR4 ITX setup complete for my step dad to replace his XPS 2nd gen i5 desktop. A fraction of the size, more efficient, has TPM for Windows 11 and waaay faster. M.2 would be nice, but his 1tb Crucial Sata SSD will transfer over nicely for free.

The 5500 is a Ryzen APU without the IGP, thus the Cezanne codename.

It looks like the Stealth 2000 pro is a 4mb late model Virge, so I would go with that card. You could definitely utilize a better AGP GPU, but honestly as long as the V2 meets your 3D needs it is a fantastic combo with the Virge. The V330 is a better option here, especially for windows 98 games, …
