Heres what I mean, the empty spots may have another usable voltage to pick from 😉

Looking at the voltage options, I'd say there could be more undocumented voltage settings available (depends on how the other voltages are jumpered.

Screen quality depends also on the manufacturer of the graphics card. Anyway, if you have one, have you tried a Diamond Viper V550 TNT1 card?

But the 440BX datasheet says the max is 64mbit chips but that's plainly wrong considering it will read the 16-chip 256MB DIMMs (128 mbit). Eventually Intel acknowledged this in the spec update to the 440BX. But I reckon not for the 440LX, which has the exact same memory chip limitations that the …

rendition are decent 3d cards and i like them, however they just suck in dos. :blah: i want v2200 with 8mb of ram... so far i only know two of them in existence, from hercules and lenovo, and i have never found one yet. :sad: Same here. Only ones I ever found were the Diamond 4MB PCI cards, but I …

This site http://k6plus.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2 has a LOT of good info hidden away on the forum. If you're interested in Super 7 hardware, this would be a good way to start ;) Go download threads of interest before the entire forum disappears forever (like one AWESOME forum about the A7V series …

I ran the computer for several hours (while testing several operating systems) and since then, I have not had an issue with the power switch. Maybe it had to "burn in"? That's the spirit! Always think positive! ;D And if you can't fix something today, then there's always tomorrow. For 15 year old …

True. It might even be there in the BIOS, but hidden. I've once found a forum about modding BIOS flash files with a LOT of info about this, very interesting read if you're into that stuff 😉

But isn't GF4MX based on the GF2 anyway?

True, and the fact that it's 2 pipeline chip is faster then a GF2 Ultra is of little practical consequence. But it's the knowledge of technology that's interesting here, kinda like how fast the AMD 5x86 is compared to a real Pentium. If one uses the 5x86 and the other a P75, there isn't much …

Yeah it is pretty neat to see a 2 pipeline chip dust a GeForce 2 Ultra. ;) Neat, yes, but why not just get a non-TI Geforce 3. Those things were insanely fast for their day and should be able to take a 460 with room to spare. Although, then again, why get an XGI Volari V8? Because it exists (though …

Indeed, it depends on the PLL chip, of which different versions were used even on boards that themselves are the exact same revision. Still, would be interesting to post somekind of list in case one of us ever finds a PLL chip on a BX and post a pic+motherboard model number and such?

Are you absolutely sure it uses a non-standard PSU pinout? And even if it does, that doesn't mean it's impossible to mod an ATX2AT adapter to fit it ;) Edit:And be extremely careful when fiddling with the insides of any PSU!!! This includes the AT power switch, it could be hazardous both to your …

So a Live! is actually making sense in any retro rig that's modern enough to use a PCI sound card? Are there any other expandable PCI soundcards? How do the Vortex, Yamaha and ESS Solo1 (just to name a few) fit into these?
