First point for discussion- I find it pretty strange that most retro builders stick to P3/ Athlon builds for circa 2000-2002 machines. Given that the original s423 was launched in Nov 2000 and ran until Jul'01 and the Willamette s478s were out in Aug 01, that makes them congruent with the same …

This was a great Matrox info site back in the day. http://web.archive.org/web/20030207162604/http://grafi.ii.pw.edu.pl/gbm/matrox/ Did you notice this? 16.12 More rumours and some explanations: despite my good relations with Matrox, my rumours do not come from any internal sources - they would have …

There never was one. Btw, I never seen a (any!) POD in the wild over here except once...and the owner wouldn't gift me the machine. I bought all the ones I have. The POD63 seems more uncommon then the POD83, but who cares, the 83 is faster anyway :D Which is surprising since it was the POD83 that …

That website www.vintage3d.org looks interesting. The graphics card list seems to be identical to the one on pc-erfahrung.de Btw, I never really bothered with all the minute differences in clock speed of whatever graphics card. It's interesting to learn about how these variants came to be though, …

Even the 486 Overdrives had 4x multipliers. So a 100mhz model of those would require a 25mhz motherboard.

How did you get a 300mhz Pentium? The only factory 300mhz Pentium was a Tillamook and that was only in like 3 models of laptops that I know of and that was on a processor card, not socket 7.

but there was also a Coppermine 1133 made, though it was barely any faster (never saw one in the flesh btw). I remember the Coppermine 1133 mess. When I started going on different hardware forums a lot back in early 2002 or so they were still talking about that flop of a cpu and its stability …

Yeah I was gonna say, there is 400fsb Northwoods clocked at 3ghz. I see them pop up on ebay now and them for around 50-80 bucks or so. http://cgi.ebay.com/Pentium-4-P4-3-0-3-0Ghz-512-fsb-400-478-Northwood-SL74Q-/170670146969?pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item27bcbbc599 Very expensive because you …

Edit:In addition to the P3-450, there was in fact also a P2-450 made ;) Dunno what exactly the fastest Northwood was, I try to evade the s478 Preshots as they were hotter and slower then Northwood at the same frequency Fastest Northwood was 3.4ghz- near or on the limit of what Northwood …

BTW- the best P4s to have are the 3ghz versions since they all hit the same max clocks but the lower multi of the 3.0ghz means using a higher fsb to hit that clock hence higher performance. You do know that there is more than one 3ghz P4 and some of them sit on a 400/533 bus, right? The fastest bus …

I wonder if the buyer thinks that's a voodoo Don't know. I wish ebay didn't conceal bidders identities. It was a common practice of mine to get to know the id's of the people who bid on the same items that I do and watch their bidding patterns. There were certain bidders who would just put in an …

That's ridiculous! They were only £120-£130 at launch and probably dropped down quite a bit after release! Yah, but nobody bought them because they were late to market and there were more powerful cards on the market by then. PowerVR specs on paper never held up well against other cards, either, …

Indeed you are right, i replaced the resistor, plugged the psu to ac ( not connected to computer ) turned the switch on for a split second and heard a loud pop, now resistor is burned again, but fuse is still intact.

Posted on 2011-08-14, 11:27
CGL was for 3D Blaster VLB, which used a stripped down 3DLabs Glint 300SX, called Game Glint. So the API was probably related to 3DLabs somehow. There's also a little known Yamaha 3D accelerator called RPA. Rendering Polygon Accelerator, YGV611 and 612. I bet it has its own fun API as well. It …
