An MB ISA-OPTI 486 arrived today, with 30 PIN RAM (4 PCS), Intel 486 DX2-66 CPU, everything needs to be tested, but I'm currently away, I might try this card next week, overall it's quite interesting for me 🧐, I haven't had a 486 DX2-66 ISA since '96, I have other DX2-66s but these are VLB (Vesa …

I tried to complete the configuration of the ASUS K8N-E DeLuxe, now it's like this: Sempron 754 2800+ 512MB DDR 400 (2X 256MB) ATi 9250 128MB AGP HD Maxtor 250GB SATA DVD IDE RW This is what I added to the MB, but there is integrated audio, and SATA RAID, which are standard in this MB. I tried to …

Today I purchased a MB 486, I thought it was an EISA ISA, in reality I discovered that the EISA is an OPTI, I honestly don't know what the difference is, could it be the same thing? It already has some 30 pin RAM, some L2 cache chips, I think it's 128KB, and an Intel 486DX2-66 CPU, I don't think …

Just 😅 finished doing some updates to the ASUS K8N-E DeLuxe, I removed the 128 MB RAM, and put in a pair 💏 of DDR 400 RAM, I thought they were 512 each, in reality they are 256 MB, and maybe 🤔 these will also be temporary, because I wanted to have 1 GB 🇬🇧 of RAM, but for the moment they can be more …

Did you ever manage to get any life out of the Siemens slot 1 board? It looks an ideal little mATX board with both AGP and ISA! In the past I have had success with a Siemens ATX BX, I can't tell you which model, because I don't remember it by heart, what you say should be a ZX, currently I have too …

Hi, I have various motherboards of that type, and two identical (more or less), the problem would be easily identifiable, the video card should be tested in another PC, if it behaves in the same way, it could have a problem, if instead it works, the problem could be in the MB. At this point, I …

Today I did a short startup test, the card is an ASUS K8N-E DeLuxe, for the moment I am equipped with the bare minimum, Sempron 64 2800+ CPU, 128 MB DDR 400, 8 MB ATi Rage XL PCI VGA. After connecting a power supply and the usual ISA-PCI post card, I started the PC and it works!!! In the next few …

Having several heatsinks for AMD A64 or similar, I have in my hands 🐾 some motherboards, one is visually very beautiful 😍 🤩, it seems new, I don't remember what repairs I did (assuming I did any), it has a Sempron 3200+ CPU, and it has AM2 socket, strangely it doesn't have PCI-E but it has AGP, it …

It would be this one (see photo), I think it's a very normal Intel 486DX2-66 It is SL Enhanced: https://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SX/SX911.html. I also run these with at least a heatsink theses days, but if you just want to test it out there's no harm in not using one. Ok thanks so much for the info. …

I don't think there is a heatsink with fan, if I'm not mistaken the 486DX2 was required? At minimum I would use a heatsink. Depending on case airflow, a fan might be a good idea as well. There was some inconsistency around this time when some PC builders would use heatsinks and some would not. But …

Soon I will be able to complete various PCs, which I kept waiting for missing HW, most of them are AMD, but I have some things that I had temporarily assembled, and which I will be able to recover for Intel PCs, many of the cards repaired in the past (also visible in the previous pages), must be …

Thank you all for the help, honestly I had seen very similar boards, but this one is very similar to the one in the link, however it has a simpler design, there are fewer electronic components, and it is probably a cheaper model than the one in the link . At this point , I'm still in trouble, maybe …
