Back when my main system was an Athlon II X2 240 and a 9500 GT, I had both the CPU and GPU overclocked. I remember putting the CPU at about 3.6GHz, and I would usually run the 9500 GT at 640MHz core and 535MHz clock. Anything higher would result in artifacts. Of course that system is long gone, but …

Here's my 5X86 up close (the one not hot glued to the display case ;) Nice collection! That heatsink you got there looked really similar to the heatsink I found on my 5x86 - except it had a Cooler Master fan on it. I'm assuming most of those DIP chips are BIOS ROMs, right? I have a few DIP chips as …

That AMD 5x86 seems to have a relatively late product date Those laser engraved 5x86s are dated around 1997-1998. Strictly OEM and usually used for embedded solutions. Some were even marked as DX2 and DX. I have one as well. It came out of a Telxon touchscreen scanner system of some sort. I recall …

That AMD 5x86 seems to have a relatively late product date Those laser engraved 5x86s are dated around 1997-1998. Strictly OEM and usually used for embedded solutions. Some were even marked as DX2 and DX. Hmm...interesting. The computer I took it out of was made around 1997 I believe, and it was a …

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, or if there's another CPU collection thread I'm not seeing, but I guess this is something to share. AMD 5x86 P75 Am486 DX5-133W16BGC (taken from a smashed Windows 95 PC at an abandoned country club) https://i.imgur.com/0R25hiU.jpg Intel Celeron running …

Intel Pentium 3 533MHz (slot 1) I think I could upgrade the CPU further by getting a socket 370 to slot 1 adapter, would that work? I could've sworn the GX110 used Socket 370 and the GX1 was the newest Optiplex to use Slot 1, are you sure it's not a GX1 in a GX110 case? What I'd do with that system …

Get rid of that video card! Will do! Make sure you have at least 256MB RAM. Upgrade to the latest BIOS before installing a Slocket. The system is maxed at 512 Megs and is running the latest BIOS I know of (A09) so I think that's good. a Slocket should work; as long as you use 100MHz FSB CPUs Hmm.. …

Hello everyone. I have a Dell Optiplex GX110 (full tower, NOT the small form factor variant) computer that I want to upgrade it to be the best system it can be. If anyone wonders, originally I got it from a dump and according to a sticker on it, it came from a school. Currently, its specs are: Intel …
