Re: P55c at Overclocked to 300mhz?

BF2: W35 BF1: X34 BF0: Y33 These 3 pins are located right next to eachother, which is a + :) Shorting 2 of these pins while setting motherboard jumpers (1 shorted one way, one the other) sounds risky, wouldn't that cause a short? I do know that having BF0 and BF1 float (not jumpered) 'should' cause …

You have two options to get a Pentium MMX to 300Mhz - I've done it myself, actually.. anyway here they are: 1. Bus clock up to 100Mhz with a 3x multiplier. 2. Bus clock at 66Mhz with a 4.5x multiplier. You can get a 4.5x multiplier by either buying a specially modified chip, or bridging two pins on …

When buying steam games, can you use those same games on other computers? If no, then no go for me. I want to be able to choose how and where to use software I buy. I'd rather not pay buying prices for renting software 😜

Dunno. It was a later version of HL1 for sure. I bought it as a friend of mine kept telling me how ub3r c00l the game was so I bought it for a couple euro's. Atleast I got a ugly looking beer coaster instead...ugh! This basically put me off of steam till today. Ever since, if I see a game I want to …

No, all I remember it was a mATX case. Kinda like a more modern looking AT-sized case with only 2 cdrom slots. I think one of these 2 only has support for Katmai though, no coppermine. Can't remember which one it was though. So a good guess would be a PB with a P3 of <= 600Mhz and mATX Edit:But …

My most frustrating game ever must've been Half Life 1 (some version of it). It needed Steam (for crying out loud). I started installing it at 1pm but then it said it needed to get files from the net. So downloading it went. I mean, it seemed to download THE WHOLE GAME or something, it took FOR-EVER …

Shouldn't K6-2 be with the Pentium? It's still socket 7 (not slot 1) and I feel the architecture of super 7 is still much more similar to older socket 7 then to any slot 1

I got a REALLY small BX ATX board in my attic! I'll post some pics later after I get my camera working again. It's so small, I love it LOL!

I once played the Unreal campaign TWICE on 2 different computers, just so I could feel the difference between Creative 128PCI and a Vortex2. That's really interesting. What was your opinion of these two sound cards? Was one significantly better than the other? I intend to do something similar - …

So whats your fastest Cyrix you have atm? It's a 6x86L (Less voltage / Heat) PR200+ It's rated at 75x2 and I did manage to run it at 83x2 but not any higher. I got my eyes on a PR300+ model which I am hoping will take a setting of 100x2 so I can see what the Cyrix chip can do with L1 cache enabled. …

Basically what RG100 said. That and I'm just fascinated by the chip and other hardware architecture. When I first started dumpster diving I was looking for Pentiums but as I also found many 486's I found the definitely older looking 486 very interesting as well! Also I like to use hardware that's …
