The info I'm seeing online quotes two different IBM part numbers - 76H1815 and 07H1097 - the first is rated to 11.2A for 200MHz/256Kb cpus and the second is rated to 12.4A for either the 200MHz/256Kb or the 200MHz/512Kb cpu

Further development. I tossed the same Slotket/CPU combo in my Dell XPS T550, and it was dead as a doornail as well. I know that these are both OEM machines, but I am beginning to think that either the Slotket is bad or the CPU is. Unfortunately, I don't have another Socket 370 CPU to test out. I …

This arrived today, and arguably the best score I've landed in awhile for what I paid. A what seems to be brand new ASUS P5A motherboard in the box with the ribbon cables in the sealed package, unused manual, and the board itself looks brand new. I've seen most used/untested P5A motherboards sell …

Thank you. Do you have any idea how it might affect things visually? Sorry no...seriously outside my comfort zone but, at a guess, maybe some form of toggle to select VMR pitch values over other possible pitch values to avoid / fix some form of screen corruption??? Check this link (and the last …

Quick search indicates it's likely connected to D3D surface memory 'pitch' (also called 'stride') and the Video Mixing Renderer (from XP & later)

So it should work with every SE440BX-2 board then. Mine says it's P03 in the BIOS, so this should be fine. Right. I've given it a wipe with the isopropyl across both sides. Let's give it a go. Aaaaand... still doesn't work. Both case LEDs come on, power supply fan going round, CPU fan not going …

Also, cant imagine it would work with the OEM version of the board (Dell SE440BX-3) but not the Intel retail? Only relevant difference with the Dell BIOS is that it auto-configures the cpu without needing to use maintenance mode. Filename se440bx3_c300a.jpg File size 717.31 KiB Views 101 views

There's nothing in the latest P17 BIOS release notes re. issues with this cpu - infact it was supported literally out of the (first) box with version P01 so cant see that having changed.

Maybe another option would be to jumper the drive for self test as the tape (blank or used) will be completely overwritten during the process -https://www.craystone.com/dealer/page13.html Filename SLR5 Self Test.jpg File size 141.1 KiB Views 107 views
