The only thing in the box is the disk and the encyclopedia. The disk is still shrink wrapped. Kinda strange, but whatever. Sadly all the other papers that are usually in the box appear to be gone. sorry.

update: http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/A/AUVA-COMPUTER-INC-386-TAM33-P1-TAM40-P1.html to add salt to the wound; the motherboard's battery was a little "fuzzy". but get this! I plug it in and test it. It posts with 8mb of ram and THE THE CORRECT DATE AND TIME. /sigh I guess I should be …

Re: VLB ATI Mach64 - won't POST if memory upgrade module is attached

have you tried the card in a different system? I have a number nine card that wont post in the motherboard I WANT it to, but it will in EVERY other board I have. Also, any chance you need to set any jumpers? It does seem pretty self explanatory when you mention the sticker.

well, lets go the route of HWBOT and lets fill in the blanks: http://hwbot.org/browseHardwareProcessors.do?cpuSubFamilyId=140 it looks like there are NO rankings for a 933mhz setup, but if you look at the benchmarks for the 900mhz that should give you an idea of what to shoot for. And all the …

tag ram needs to be faster whenever possible as it allows the cache to work correctly. I have an 16 bit isa card that has upgraded ide and serial/parallel ports. It also has an on-board bios that allows for large hard drives. its a SIIG sc-jee012. I was using it for compact flash drives for my 386 …

I miss my SDS2. sold it on ebay a few months back. It was my file server until i upgraded to pci-e. I wanted to put 3 pci voodoo5's in it but the cost and the fact it may not even work really killed the idea. also, you need more ram in that thing!!! it will take up to 1gb sticks of ram! Nothing says …

I am just about ready to resurrect my XG-DLS system, care to benchmark yours? I want to see how my REAL xeons fare against the fake 133mhz fsb versions. I'll be using windows 2000 with my pair of 900/2m/100 procs. Care for a little fun? (do an overclocked and normal clocked score if you can)

Won one of those "whole lot of motherboards for stupid cheap" A few boards are not pictured. They either didn't work or aren't worth mentioning. Sadly there was a Tyan S2466 (dual socket A) that wouldn't post because the board was gauged. :( Anyway the entire reason I wanted the lot was this board …

1. yes 2. unlikely, unless you overclock it. 3. no, but it cant hurt. 4. might have a loose connection somewhere. re-seat ram, cache, etc and try again. is what I would do first.

you mention that you have been playing with the jumpers, is it possible that you are overclocking the processor?

Re: VLB 486 recommendation required please
Posted on 2011-03-16, 15:02
The general consensus about overclocking and VLB is that it works together like oil and water. As soon as I get my PC-chips M915i board out of Russia i will be able to fully give this a proper test but until then I'm just twiddling my thumbs. Some motherboards have an option to allow the vlb bus to …

If the voltage is off by anything more than 10% its is "bad" by standard definition. (12v can be off by up to 1.2v, 5v by .5v, etc) That being said, I wont use any supply that is more than 5% off. I cant seem to find a "brand" of AT power supplies that I can trust, however if you dont mind atx -> at …
