1992 is my bet too. Probably this was one of the first games purchased 😀

Resurrecting this topic since I got the definitive answer to the question and others may need it too. This browser extension https://addons.mozilla.org/ro/firefox/addon/h264ify/ called h264ify which also exists for Chrome forces youtube to stream h264 video which is easily handled by the HD4650.

Re: RDRAM motherboard (850/850E) that supports 4Gb RAM?

This seems somewhat relevant to this discussion. https://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=120569 Essentially it looks like anything similar to a 2.8Ghz HT P4 or better can do 480p and have some headroom left. So basically a 3.06HT with 2Gb RAM can still surf these days, which isn't too bad for …

Guys, you missed the HD4650 AGP part, I'm not hoping that a 3.06HT could handle 720p but the HD4650 can do that fairly easily. However 4Gb RAM seems like an absolute minimum these days, 2Gb just won't cut it for comfortable usage. Of course I didn't missed the 64-bit part, the question is about …
RDRAM motherboard (850/850E) that supports 4Gb RAM?
Posted on 2018-11-12, 15:32
Hi guys, Anyone knows of a RDRAM desktop/workstation motherboard that can support 4GB RAM? (4x1Gb) The specs I say everywhere for the 850/850E boards say 2Gb max but I remember reading a long time ago that some worked just fine with 4Gb. I have a 3.06HT sitting in a box and a 4650 AGP card, just …

This is the correct pic of the v1.1 motherboard from the service manual: v1.1 motherboard.JPG The V 2.2 motherboard for which the manual is available has only JP1 and JP3 for write protecting and clearing the CMOS. V 1.1 however has also J1, JPT3, JP4 and JP5 and judging from their location they may …

I recently got involved in a social project which essentially consists in fixing computers from the P4 era, making them capable to competently run Win 7 (2Gb RAM, Dx9 card) then donating them to various establishments (like orphanages) or simply to poor kids who don't own a computer at all. While …
Re: Ideas for mobo with no video signal
Posted on 2017-11-10, 22:27
Try other RAM. Sometimes it's so bad/incompatible that the mobo won't even get to beep with it installed. It's also worth re-seating the current sticks, cleaning the RAM slots and so on. I've had a motherboard that collected dust on top of a drawer for quite a few years and then refused to run …
Re: Intel 440BX Chipset and AGP cards? (And some other questions)
Posted on 2017-11-09, 18:00
As Deksor said its the 2x AGP that's the limiting factor not memory. Ti4600 from Nvidia camp or Radeon 9700 Pro from ATI are the final 3.3v and therefore work no problems, both are 128MB Of course both of these are total overkill for a P2 but gives you an idea how far up the graphics food chain you …

What you want with your current PSU is this card https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/310/radeon-hd-4350-agp which offers hardware flash acceleration (youtube and so on) plus Dx10.1 support while taking a mere 20W. If you change the PSU you could look at a HD4650 or HD4670 (48 and 59W ) but make sure …
Re: Asus rampage extreme 775 worth it?
Posted on 2017-11-03, 00:40
Again you're confusing it with IP35-E. The IP-35E (which has just one PCI-E slot )requires the molex plug to be used unless you want to fry the ATX connector. The IP35-Pro only needs the molex plug to be connected if you're using the second full length PCI-E slot. I remember that back in the day a …

Re: Asus rampage extreme 775 worth it?

That's a good point. From a collector's perspective the discussion is totally different, meaning that having the full package including original box, manuals, CD and so on becomes much more relevant.
Re: Getting the AGP HD4650 to do hardware flash acceleration on Win Xp
Posted on 2017-11-02, 17:10
After doing more research in the history of those 3 pc's mentioned above it appears that the one which has the hardware acceleration enabled is the only one that never had any other ATI/AMD card installed on the current Xp installation. So I'm starting to suspect that the problem here is that DDU …

It may have more to do with various flash players being installed over time. So far I tested 3 Xp machines, one has C2duo and hd4670 PCIE, xp 32 bits, does hardware acceleration without issues without anyone tweaking anything. Second one has c2duo and hd6850, xp 64 bits, no hardware acceleration, …
