It is one of the old original white models. So I am happy. I got it through my job at the recycling center. Testing computers and console stuff is my area. We have a rule, that anything that have bootchip or softmodded will not be sold. Now that's the right guy for the job to ensure that retro gear …

Nice! What about with no L2 cache? Just to see if async makes a big difference over none .. 😀

So dragged the system back home, thoroughly cleaned it (filthy :r ), replaced the old T2300 and interesting So479 motherboard with a Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L. It may be 12 years old, but with aforementioned Core2Quad and 4GB of RAM it should be more than capable of handling the occasional word …

Oh among them is the most useless overdrive ever : the DX2 overdrive :D What would you say about an Overdrive SX-20 then? :) i-img1200x798-1581262561gctnau31383.jpg According to http://www.os2museum.com/wp/486-overdrive/ "The lowest end model was an OPD486SX-20, a 40 MHz clock-doubled model."

Does the PC Chips have an onboard VGA using system memory, which is not truly disabled, thus eating memory bandwidth?

Can you disable on-board cache from BIOS? Given that the K6-2+ has on-die L2 cache, the motherboard's cache gets to be L3 cache - might confuse Win98?

If Tualatin-1400 is possible on a Slotket, but you wouldn't want to run 133 FSB, I guess that a 1400 would be happy to run 1050 at 100 FSB and with a lower powerconsumption ..?

I also agree with good and even overkill cooling, especially when dealing with parts that are getting harder and harder to source . Heat is the enemy . So true... So true. That is why I have done overkill cooling in my Amiga600 as well. My Amiga600 on my blog Wow, talk about upgrading an Amiga :) …

I got an Intergraph TD-310 today. The seller simply just had it listed as "old 1997 computer" with no details and just a few poor photos. The case is very unassuming, so I almost ignored it thinking it was some generic OEM Celeron or something. But in the corner of one of the photos, I saw what …

Hope it's okay to revive this ancient thread, as I just yesterday opened the dx5/133, that was retired from work (after 15'ish years in storage). It sports the 486SoM board with an AMD dx5/133. As for what I can see from the pictures, it has all 8+tag cache sockets populated with 32x8k making it 256 …
