Sorry to ask, but .... What is the problem in uploading pictures at Vogons? Works like a charm. Do not use external hosting sites, please. It is annoying, there are tons of old posts, where the pictures are missing. The only problem is that the computer is not near me :-) … until now. here the pics …

Without L2 a P133 isn’t much faster than an amd 5x86-133 with full cache, especially if it is one of the early slow old Socket 4/5 Chipsets. A very good hard drive controller and video card could make up some of the performance, especially if you can run fsb75 or 83 stable but you will still get a …

PC with cache does not boot, disabling it works normally. I proceeded to uninstall the chips on the motherboard. Will the computer suffer as much in speed without L2? Or should I try to find a new one? Is there a way to test which chip is bad?? tnks

I had this type of 300GL back in 2004 iirc, got threee of them for real cheap and I even put Tualatin on it using Powerleap adapter. One of them worked out of the box with Coppermine also (100 MHz variant) as it had updated VRM. i not understand why “one” work out of the box with tualatin, you have …

Depends largely on BIOS and to a lesser degree on the VRM. A P3-600 uses different CPUID and microcode than a P2. If BIOS fully supports it, it's fine. If not, the question is what BIOS does with an unknown CPU. Some just say 'unknown CPU' but boot on happily. Others refuse to boot... I'm not aware …

I was about to buy a system (IBM 300GL) which is originally configured with a PII350 (100x3.5) and I was thinking of installing a PentiumIII600 (the fastest slot1 at 2.0V). On the chassis at most it says that it works with PentiumII 450 (because I guess they are the fastest out). But if I install a …

I didn't read anything about this mainboard, I read wrong about the chipset but I'm not sure if it applies 100% to this mainboard… is it true? So no Win98 and consequently no DOS? thank you

It arrived today, I wasn't looking for this model but a simple Sound Blaster 16. Instead, I found this on a sales site at a price that was not very low but not even close to the stellar one found on Ebay. Going back to the Sound Blaster, some say it's the spearhead of OPL cards. The card is …

This evening I was looking at the two computers I stacked on top of each other and it occurred to me if I couldn't use the same external iomega Zip LPT drive by plugging it in at the same time. By connecting to the first computer via the lpt cable and then the second computer via the pass-through …
