Yes, even if it puts beta, it is the last stable one there is. That P2B v1.12 motherboard is a gem. Take care of her.

How beautiful are the tualatin. Maybe a 1ghz pentium III is more efficient and cooler. But tualatin has something that catches you.

I like these performance tests. Some time ago I bought some processors and among them I have a Pentium 4 670 at 3.8ghz. It is quite expensive today as they have said before. Now I sure wouldn't buy it. In fact, I did some tests a while ago in 3dmark that gave this result: 3DMARK 99: 20576 3DMarks …

Any word sounds good for your section, recovered, revived. Even a short composition sounds good "Links recovered". I have seen that it has P2B-B and P2B-D on its page, so I proposed to put the P2B section without acronyms next to the ones it already has. But do not feel obliged to anything, if you …

Q: How do I find out which voltage regulator chip I have and what voltages it can provide? A: You need to look at the board. Near the Slot1 connector there is a chip with around 30 pins or so. Some of these chips can provide 1.3V-3.5V, while others can only provide 1.8V-3.5V. Attention, dual-cpu …

I can only say that asus and 440bx are great. Even today it is a rock. I can not say so much in defense of their competition, even later years did not reach their height.

Hello, the most recommended is to try it on another motherboard. You can browse your processor here: https://www.amd-k6.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/AMD_K6-2_Mobile_Datasheet.pdf There is a jtag to verify correct operation. That is quite complex to manufacture if you don't have a lot of knowledge. …

Sorry, I was unaware that it already existed. I did this quite a long time ago. And I'm glad it's available now without getting dirty. I really like your design. I came up with something similar for one of my Voodoo 3 cards, but your idea is much more robust and securely attached. I took a slot …

A solution may be to use an old 56k modem card or something similar that is no longer in use and has good dimensions. Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a PCI fan bracket? You can fit two 90 mm fans into that for quiet and efficient cooling. I was unaware that they had pci with a fan. Sounds great …

A solution may be to use an old 56k modem card or something similar that is no longer in use and has good dimensions. A sanding to the components and all the copper tracks and a cpu fan, the narrowest you can find. This way you poke the fan into a pci slot. It works very well for me with an rpm …
