50-66mhz seems like you can dig into the resistors on your fet jumpers and try to get them down to 2.2v Or, my voltage interposer will be done soon. yeah i googled before your post and saw max clock is 66 mhz. Unlucky! Any idea on K6-2+ modded bios incompatibility? guess it is a hit or miss... you …

Btw, idk if you were trying to find the fastest chip for your board with what you got, but a k6-2+570 modded to 3+ is the best you can shoehorn in there. Also it’s a mobile chip. So if you can get down to say 2.0-2.2v it should be rather conservative on the wattage. And have more performance at 400 …

Is this your EXACT board? Same chips? Heatsinks, configuration? https://www.ultimateretro.net/motherboard/image/35-8258-00-5fbe31dbd08c5889140447.jpg It is VERY similar just a couple chips are kinda different (the BESTKEY one is in place of a VIA-II VT82C42N chip) and there are NKK chips near the …

That's a very big heatsink, I wouldn't worry too much. You also have that big CPU cooler near it. Just let it run with the K6-2 and keep your finger on the heatsink, it's only a problem if it gets so hot that you can barely touch it. Also remember that most boards have two or more of these. I have …

The one marked with the arrow? D-882Y? Then it should have already an heatsink attached to it... too bad as you can see that there is the voodoo 2 basically touching it preventing some airflow to come from CPU heatsink(with some isolating tape i put there on a second thought(that pci slot is the …

Even a Pentium 200-233 mmx can't max out a voodoo 1 card, so i guess it is the best choice for you. Don't go for a Voodoo 2 unless you have a Pentium 2 or AMD k6-2+ or k6-III at least as it would be badly bottlenecked by the cpu.

Hi, i just purchased from ebay for 10$ a K6-2 AFR 400 Mhz that can do 6x multiplier on my 66 mhz socket 7 board here https://www.ultimateretro.net/motherboard/manual/34148.pdf Now, before i get my hands on my brand new (?) CPU, i would like to know: - where i can locate and identify VRM on my board …

UPDATE: In the end i purchased this cable ( https://www.pccables.com/07126.html ) from pccables.com. In fact, i purchased 4 of them and i plan to sell the other 3 on europe with lower shipping costs to refund me of US international shipping costs (25$). you do what you gotta do. Still looking …

Hi, i really need a back panel like this https://i.ibb.co/PgY8pWs/50520030.jpg it seems that it does have a 5 pin connector which would be perfect for my mobo layout here https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/V/VTECH-INDUSTRIES-INC-Pentium-MB520N.html but it seems that is impossible to find it …

No clue on what's happening inside my computer. When i remove either a usb 2.0 PCI card or a network card glide games simply stop working. Direct3D games like moto racer still work. Doesn't matter the position of the cards inside the computer... i tried swapping things and the problem is still there …

I mean what's the deal? Since i'm having a bad time getting a Dynamic Drive Overlay to work on my hdd i'm having a terrible feeling that since my boot hdd is configured as secondary master that's the reason i couldn't get DDO to work. My mobo is a MB520N with latest official bios.

Well, I use a chinese Top3000 programmer for my EPROM and EEPROM needs, however these do more than what you need (I also use it for old arcade games and other stuff) so they may not be the less expensive option. I do not know of other programmers, sorry about that, but I do know there are other ( …

The 520ND is basically the same mainboard with the same chipset and the same super-IO, but provides two additional slots for SD-RAM sticks (which the VX chipset is capable of addressing). It comes with an AWARD BIOS while the 520N has AMI BIOS instead. I would give it a try and flash the patched ( …

Bump. I will also add a few more questions that are bugging me from a while. System: (P200 mmx + Creative voodoo 2 12 MB, 64 MB RAM). windows 98 se with unofficial 2.1 SP and 98se2me installed. 1) Is it WickedGL recommended to install on my system? If so what version would be best? . What V2 driver …

upgraded to a pentium 200 mmx 128 MB + V2 PC Partner MB520N That motherboard uses the Intel 430VX chipset, so it only caches 64MB. You're kind of hurting your performance by going over that limit. BTW, here is the last BIOS image for your board. The readme file doesn't mention anything about 8GB …

Hi everyone! And big greetings from an aging italian dude with a weird passion for old rigs. And bad english. I'm also new around here so please don't come on strong on me too much :). About the thread title: since i was 12, when i got my first pc, i had to learn very fast how to solve windows 95 …
