I have a S150 TX4 running in my windows 98 build. All OK. Never tried a SX4 as I could not find windows 9x drivers for it either.

I've also updated the link in my original post to point to https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vWj7S1CBW7X7 … iew?usp=sharing and have put it in the vogonsdrivers thread here, so hopefully should end up in there too.

Something for the driver DB 😀 Driver CD v1.21 for Abit IC7 Series Motherboards (IC7, IC7-G, IC7 MAX3) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vWj7S1CBW7X7 … iew?usp=sharing Uploaded as an ISO file.

Got bored waiting for my NAS to perform a check a new drive and decided to try and overclock my Pentium 4 3.4EE. Seems it has a locked multiplier. Not even downwards unlocked like the socket 603/4 xeons equivalents. I had always assumed the EE had unlocked multipliers

It is almost impossible to find drivers of such board Abit IC7 Max3 i want to ask if someone in this forum has it or collected it, maybe you can share an iso image with all the rest that got this motherboard but missing drivers. https://ic.tweakimg.net/ext/i/1069881484.jpg Made a copy of my CD, …

Those are some nice systems and a great source of information for my builds. I would say that it looks like you are getting close to what you want to achieve, but that would be naïve of me. These retro builds are never finished :). I suppose the upside is that I no longer feel the need to mess about …

I can imagine Dell offering the riser as a complete unit with CPU, cooler and RAM pre-installed. Does make for an easier upgrade for the end user if needed (read faster/ less downtime)
Re: Any others given up on the hobby?

What sucks is getting into the hobby with none of your old stuff cold turkey. You have a bunch of parts and it’s impossible to figure out where the problem is because you didn’t start with a known good config. It took me months to debug my new builds to the point they are today and reaccumulate the …
Re: Wierd Radeon 9800 Pro by Palit - What am I dealing with?
Posted on 2021-02-21, 14:27
I had convinced myself that the card was a fake. R360 reporting as R350 with really low mem clocks? Count me surprised. Palit is hardly a no-name brand so surprised to see it.

Actually now that I look at it neither do I on that version of GPU-Z 😀 Still think its a fake card. To add to my previous post, the capacitors aren't right either. they are typically solid caps on 9800s.

Could you give us the full BIOS version/string from GPU-Z? It is cut off in the screenshot From what I can see, The device ID suggests the card has a 9800 AIW bios on it? It's most likely a fake card with a recycled die and cheap VRAM.

Tried to tame the cable anarchy going on in my OR840 system. One hour later.... Slight improvement, but cable anarchy remains. Tempted to remove the SoundBlaster live drive if only to remove that ribbon cable. Would not care so much but the case I'm using has a Perspex window in the side panel DSC_ …

Late to the party, but happy to hear you've taken the project I have the predecessor to the NCCH-DL and love it. 875P and Xeons? Yes please. Currently running both my 3.o6GHz xeons at 3.6GHz using the intel wind tunnel coolers and a 92mm fan on the VRMs. I find the biggest issue with socket 604 is …

As I've heard i752 drivers are hard to come by. I'll dig deeper into the matter. IIRC the i752 ended up integrated into 810 chipsets, so you might have joy extracting drivers from intel's 810/815 graphics driver installer. The only thing that I'm going to do it is going to be a little dust off and …

Very nice find. Strangely enough it was the audio ports that gave it away, and the hint about RDRAM. Very interesting and unique board even amongst all the other cool stuff you've gotten your hands on. As a bonus they don't look like they need fixing or much cleaning (if at all). Having said that, …

Seems like a well-balanced build to me, good choice of components. Don't know anything about the power supply though. Personally I'd probably keep my eyes open for a Seasonic, Delta or Enermax. OS-wise I prefer Windows 2000 for a build like this as long as you don't want to play DOS games. Fast and …
