Yepp, can't believe how idiot I am! I knew about the 512 Mb limit of Win98, but... I left the system with only one 512 Mb stick and it works just fine! Thank you all for reminding me how idiot I am 😀 PS: this setup, with 1,5 Gb of RAM, is intended for a Win2000 system

20211012_001658.jpg This is the message I'm getting when I'm trying to start Win98SE! If I 'm pressing a key or wait for about 10 seconds, the system shuts down. I don't recall to saw this type of error message ever, at least I don't remember. It's been a long time since I've done Win98 …

To check if the board has real cache, boot it up in DOS and use Speedsys. Do a google search for "DOS benchmark Pack" from philscomputerlab.com

Unfortunately I couldn't test the board, probably because of the RIMM modules I used. In every configuration I tried, the board wouldn't POST, just gives me three long beeps... I'll try to source 4 identical RIMM modules, but it won't be easy :( Also, I don't have a dedicated P4 power supply, so I …

For the RAM, it requires either all 4 slots filled with RAM (2 slots with the same size, timing, and FSB, including ECC/non-ECC per bank) or 2 filled with terminator RAM installed and the other 2 with RAM of the same size, timing, and FSB, including ECC/non-ECC). I think that's the problem. I have …

Added this to my collection today... now I need to get a board for it for a decent price 20210902_000346.jpg Search "ECS P5GX-M" on ebay. Seller has a few and accepts offers. I'm watching that board, but with shipping and customs taxes it would cost me around 140 USD :-(, but thanks for the tip!

If you dont want to replace your socket 1st I would try modifying your heatsink. All you need to do is drill and tap a hole right above the left ear of your retaining clip and mount a screw so it holds it without the clip tilting when its also clamped on that larger clip on the right side. I have …
