Maybe stupid question, but... how does it look in the bios sub menu, the one where the multipliers settings are: https://3dnews.ru/documents/7391/bios_select_memclock.jpg There is also some info here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/printthread.php?t=62366&pp=60 Not sure if this would help at …

Was looking to stock up on quality winXP motherboards, and found this here package deal which looked promising: Asus Crosshair V Formula (+ Phenom II X6-1100T Black) AsusCrosshairVFormula___PhenomII X6 1100T Black.JPG I figured it might be ok, and although not a speed demon at least the build …

Man, those things are expensive..... 😲 Hah... You should try looking up prices for an FX5800 Ultra. Now those are expensive. Heh, funny you should mention that.... was just following a listing, and.... you could probably trade this for a RTX 3070/3080 or something.... Man, just crazy. And it isn't …

Well, I am thinking say 20 years ahead here... hence the extra reliability would be nice. At least I am hoping it would make a difference vs the consumer versions.

Heh.... ok. All I am hearing here is basically 'no' then.... so. Was just thinking this MLC industrial drive might be somewhat (much?) more durable and/or reliable down the road, at least better than regular SSDs, which was the main attraction. And coming brand new in such small sizes AND being …
Using an IDE ssd ?
Posted on 2021-06-09, 21:50
So, I stumbled over this thing made by Transcend while browsing: https://www.transcend-info.com/Embedded/Products/No-836 PSD330 Transcend's 2.5" PATA SSDs offers high-speed UDMA Mode 6, and offer installation flexibility for desktops, laptops or portable devices built around the 2.5" PATA (IDE) …

SYBA IDE adapter and TRANSCEND 2gb CF..... as seen on LGR and PhilsCompterLab. How much was that 2GB disk ? (and where did you find it) These seem very expensive, at least as new.... I just use the cheap ones from China. Not much at all to a CF to IDE adapter. It is really hard to mess up something …

Re: Replacing VB-609 motherboard in HP Vectra case
Posted on 2021-06-05, 20:19
heh... sure, but I have never soldered a thing in my life, less touched or owned a soldering iron... hence my hopes for a simpler option, without having to buy an iron ++. (and am bit short on spare parts, also liked to keep the original power button, which is the main issue for me) Anyway, I have …

Oh, soldering... I see. Thankyou for the info. Was hoping there would be an easier way, but... (I really like the case though, or more correctly - it is among a very limited supply of such desktop cases, and looked like the best candidate so far)

Old topic, but new question ... Does anyone know how to attach that 'front cable' of the case, to a different 'normal' motherboard ? One that has the several 2-pin connectors for each function, and not this nonstandard combo version ? This multicolored cable: HP Vectra_01.JPG Original mobo looks …

... I am actually on the lookout for a keyboard that feels good, uses PS/2, and is black. Probably too expensive, but I got myself this little beauty as a PS2 investment for the future. One of the last mech keyboards that still has PS2 and is otherwise satisfying to use (MX brown for me): https:// …
