Re: Adding more pci slots

AFAIK no, you can't connect PCI like that. This will result in conflict when two cards are connected, so PCI bridge is required.

Chipset has finite number of PCI slots available, usually only 6. Expanding it further will require PCI-PCI bridge.

Re: Troll PC part 3: I want the (Celeron) D

How can the first build only achieve 10fps in Unreal Tournament? I played it with a Athlon XP 2400+ and GeForce 4 Ti 4200 and it was much better than that. I find it hard to believe the Celeron 2GHz is *that* bad. Pentium 4s have notorious L2 cache dependence. As example, that's why Northwood was …

You totally can adapt normal PS/2 bracket and just ditch USB 1.1 and IR parts. Realistically, you won't need them anyway.

Color palette bug is usually caused by PCI overclock or other incompatibilities.

For 478, there is also this option: Which is useless. They work only with minimal multiplier and nothing stop you to undervolt desktop CPU, if provided motherboard is capable.

But I didn`t find official win98 drivers for this chipset ICH7-10 (south bridges) are unofficially supported. Thanks to Win9x community. not sure about that PCIe GPUs has win98 drivers also. GeForce PCX 5700/5900, GeForce 6200-6800, Radeon X800. Also PCI video cards.

You can install Windows 98 SE on second motherboard too. Even with LAN support, due to inclusion of Marvell Yukon 88E8056.

For "best" I think you should get a Radeon X1950PRO AGP X1xxx series is not supported.

The MX440 or the slightly faster MX460 are great value Proper GeForce 4 MX440-8x beats all. Another good option is an FX5200 or FX5500 Not really, you can easily find FX5600 variations for the same price.

If it's not pricy, why holding back? You can repurpose it later for Socket 939, even if it's not working.

2 Gb DDR sticks are buffered only. Only specific chipsets can understand such memory, but inclusion of ECC most likely does not matter and is ignored anyway. Why bother though? You can install Windows XP even on 4 Gb drive and it's more than enough for glorified pagefile.

So if fcenter article is also correct, then Tualerons are at least faster than any PIII Coppermine, which probably also have better L2 cache latency. But there's no direct proof that they are equal to PIII Tualatin.

You can search "Tualatin Data prefetch logic". Apparently Celeron Tualatin don't have it (datasheet info). Although the difference is in range of 2-5% and PIII Coppermine also don't have it. One russian site claims that DPL is active even on Tualerons, but it was tested on engineering sample with …
