Replaced two of the three fans with Noctua. 70mm and 80mm coolers should arrive soon, will be buying the appropriate fan when I know what fits. DSC_0657.JPG So a 1,2ghz tualatin would probably work and a 1,4ghz might? At least with the normal 2,04. But with a hex editor the ROMpaq file could be …

I see your BIOS version is slightly different. But, take a look at the fourth line printed on the North bridge, that´s what really matters: https://i.ibb.co/JC8tkw2/Tualatin-Compatible.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Jd6vngr/Tualatin-Compatible2.jpg The chip has written SL5NQ. Does this automatically mean it …

Is it a "DeskPro EN PD1050"? If so, Tualatin is compatible: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=85193 Mine also came with 1Ghz Coppermine from factory. I think mine is a bit older than yours.

Ultima Online. I lost too many hours of my life to this over 20 years ago. I wonder if it's worth playing now. I bought it and tried to login but i get error 248 on my Windows XP machine. I saw they dropped XP support in 2021 so that may be over unfortunately. Lord Of The Rings Online also said …

Jake, thanks for the suggestions. I am using 40pin cables atm, bios says hdds operate at UDMA 2. DVD drives at UDMA 0. I did try 80 pin cable, made no difference. I looked into what DMA, PIO and such mean, as i never had to mess with it before. I tried tons of setups, what would boot at all and give …

Alright, disabling Ultra DMA and setting the PIO mode of both dvd drives to 2/0 makes it post correctly and access the floppy or hard drive. Unfortunately then it hangs on dos 6.22, win98 boot disks when they try to look for CD controllers. Setting PIO to 0/0 makes this program go away successfully …

I immediately fell in love with the heatsink, fan and the fact that it comes overclocked out of the box. Back in the day it was about 130 euro more expensive than a normal GeForce 6800 GT. Makes me feel like owning one of those overlocked RTX 2080 Supers. Box doesn't come with all the extra hardware …

Sellers who say: "Well, this generic 486 PC is on eBay for 300 euro, so me asking 150 euro is a bargain for you!" Not understading that seeing something up on eBay doesn't mean those items sell for those amounts. And if they did, that person had way too much money.
