Re: PCI ssd adapter?

Wouldn't be so sure. ATX boards certainly have 3.3V on the connector, but early ones don't connect that to the PCI bus. Even relatively high-end BX boards like the P2B-F lack 3.3V on PCI, for example. I tested my Frankenstein-SSD on MSI MS-6168 (i440BX) and Tekram P6B40-A4X and P5MVP-A4 boards and …

Re: Fried BIOS :-(

If you have a similar board from that period with same pinout bios chip, you can boot the other board normally and do a 'hot-swap'. So you boot into DOS with a boot floppy inserted containing Uniflash with the needed files. You swap the bios chip to the corrupted one before launching Uniflash, and …

Re: Pentium3 on WinXP

Re: Pentium3 on WinXP

Yes, even our P4 Willamette 1.7Ghz (with starved sdram memory bandwith), suffered from the jump from SP1 to SP2. It had 768Mb, 256Mb stock and 512Mb more that I added in 2004 in conjunction with FX5600 and Win98 to WinXp upgrade. It was a nice pc, perfectly usable but felt noticeably slower after …

Re: Pentium3 on WinXP

I'd say XP runs very fine as long as you don't go pass SP1, and you have 256/512MB of ram. In my opinion, SP2&3 is what overload older systems. Back in the day it was kind of needed to keep the system 'secure' in the Internet and so, but for retro gaming, I'd say completely skip them for older …
