Past that they perform basically the same at equal clocks. But the + can overclock higher. 11,1% slower clock, but up to 18% more performance ... (Dosbench test a ) Was tested, not by me, but no multi 2x/6X was possible. The 2+ can sometimes be modded to a 3+ by the way. Way out of my league, sorry …

Interesting. You would probably use this basically like a I/o card. In that you would put this in a motherboard that otherwise didn’t have any onboard fdd/ide/scsi ports Right, I got that part. I'm just scratching my head as to how to set the jumpers or any of that so the bios actually can see the …

That system is before heatsinks really became a thing for processors. You could stick a passive peel and stick on it if you wanted but it isn’t really needed

Dualboot Windows 98 & Windows XP. I am now trying to fix DVI Dual-Link with old drivers (<185.20) first under Windows XP to understand the reason. The next step is to apply the found solution to earlier drivers for Windows 98 (ForceWare 77.72 and 82.69 for Win9x). The goal is to make DVI Dual-Link …

Is it possible to do this or buy one? I heard the usb to fdd chipsets are hard coded for 1.44mb only so hooking one up to a 5.25 drive won’t work? What about a usb to ISA to FDD adapter stack?

some of those may be resistors but most are probably decoupling capacitors. All of these are Reverse Geometry Capacitor (RGC) has its terminations on the longer side of its rectangular shape. https://www.kyocera-avx.com/products/ceramic-capacitors/low-inductance/low-inductance-chip-capacitors/ 100 …

some of those may be resistors but most are probably decoupling capacitors. taking some from a same core socket 462 is probably an option that would get you close to correct values. you would have to measure those pads and figure out which pads connected to vss and vcc those would be the ones that …

I’m really bummed that we will never see windows 7 on a dual 233mmx as I don’t believe any board supporting dual pentium 1 ever had (I forget what it’s called, some sort of thing they introduced on the 430tx south bridge that I think was for power management?) trying to remember.

One of my old super 7 boards had 768mb Unofficially I think it would go full 1.5gb as it did support 512mb dimms although at the time I only had one. If I had to guess 7 would run better with more ram It’s possible, but even a k6-3+ is horribly bogged down by 7’s bloat. On 256mb 7 was able to …

I did it on a k6-3+ If I recall RTM didn’t work but sp1 did and you need 384mb of ram minimum unless you patch the iso in a hex editor. It’s worthlessly slow. Not really worth it other than to say you did.
