Re: Create a USB 2.0 update for windows 95

As a layman, why can't a USB2 driver be built to interface with the existing USB1 support on the kernel end? Ie, can't USB2 simply be treated like a fast USB1 port? What don't I understand here? This might surprise you but USB2.0 is a very different beast under the hood than basic USB 1.1, Im sure …

Either the P4 630 or the Gigabyte motherboard doesn't respond well to overclocking, or maybe I'm just expecting Northwood overclocks (+25-50%)? I removed 2 of the 4 sticks of memory to go down to 4 GiB (as I run 32-bit XP) and the 2 sticks were CAS 3, the 2 I left in are CAS 2.5 ... But haven't …

It's almost getting too easy using 775 and pci-e. Initial run with P4 630 (2MiB Prescott, 3.0 GHz), 8 GiB memory, which I haven't even looked closer at yet and GTX285, gave 19xxx in 3DMark2001. Didn't bother to take a screenshot since it won't be counting anyways :lol: Either the P4 630 or the …

I find patience is key for the halo parts you want, I got my V5 5500 for 150 AUD when the going price is closer to 700 AUD, it did take me 8 months before one popped up for that price but the wait was worth it. Similar story for my V4 4500 and V3 3500 both were snapped up mid last year for a quarter …

Yay, I have the lead now (and hopefully a couple of hours :lol:) on Prescott 478/AGP. Ah yes Presshot, goes like a Ferrari but has all the torque of a 90 year old man. Smithfield has entered the chat Well Smithfield is simply two Presshot 1m dies glued to the same substrate ... misery does love …

Im not sure but Im guessing DDR2 and PCIe are allowed ? I assume that as well. Really considering digging up an lga775 board for that :lol: Nods, with no restrictions on the OS ..the sky is the limit so long as it'll run on LGA 775 that supports Pentium 4 which is pretty dang flexible. I wonder if …

Going to have to lowball this .. my D850MV2 is well pretty dead, doesn't even post anymore and right now I dont have the time to actually sit down and troubleshoot the cause. The P4T-E is also MIA, likely buried in one of the dozen boxes stashed in the shed. (I thought I had stashed it in my home, …

Strike 5! Another bad Ti4600! This one felt like it was on fire while it was running on an open bench. Several different boards, OS, and drivers were tried. The best it could do is attached, heh... Current total of problem Ti4400/Ti4600s (I've yet to own a completely functional card...): 2 PNY 2 …

Had to have this tank of a GPU, not a bad price either for a refurbished 9800 Pro in working condition, thing looks like its built for survivability. I get the feeling the seller is a retro head as the card looks like its been well cared for. Its not the full fat 256Mb model but only a 128 Mb card. …

I have an odd little interposer that lets a 478 CPU run in a 423 board, its limited to one particular motherboard which I do have but it certainly wont be setting any land speed records. I guess that it would only take Willamettes since the board's VRM doesn't know about Northwood voltages, and …

Thinking of jumping in here and have a choice of two boards a ASUS P4T-E or a Intel Maryville 2 D850EMV2, not sure which would make for a more interesting build but the Maryville 2 does support 533 CPUs and 1066 RDRAM. The MV2 would let me use a 3.06Ghz Northwood but I wonder if the RDRAM would hold …

Saw this odd little Socket 370 CPU on the bay and decided to grab it, at its core its a VIA C3 Samuel 2 running at 533 but normally its a BGA chip for embedded systems.

I think wikipedia has the story ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_6_series#GeForce_6200 ....unfortunately speaking, looks like you've got a revision A2 there So essentially a modified 6600 core to only have 6200 specs, rather interesting design decision by nVidia there. Still worth a look …

Fire up Riva Tuner and see if it can unlock, either its had them disabled via laser cutting which makes it impossible to unlock or they are disabled via Vbios which could be fixed by flashing the card to a 6600. I have a feeling this is one of them 6200 cards using a defective 6600 core so even if …
