I've seen two different configurations of this card. One has 256mb and a 128-bit memory controller and another has 512mb and a 64-bit memory controller. Which would be better?

I wonder why Gigabyte decided to omit this information from both their manual, and also from the bus speed settings info printed on the mobo's PCB? Probably at the time the motherboard was released, they didn't expect anyone to be running a 60mhz bus anymore. I mean, the board came out in '98 or ' …

I googled for CT4540, and the search results came up with - http://queststudios.com/smf/index.php?topic=2364.0;wap2 I had seen that but it's still kinda cryptic as to what the differences actually are. What I am finding is that most of the time when the CT4540 comes up for sale, people tend to want …

I've seen two part numbers for these. CT4390 and CT4540. There may be others but I don't know about them if they exist. What are the differences between the variants?

Yea Germany is awesome for cheap computer parts. Unfortunately not for Voodoo's. Was watching a couple Voodoo 2 sales. 2 went for like €12 and the 2 others for €18, WTH?? Voodoos aren't usually cheap in USA anymore, either. Finding any Voodoo card for less than $30 USD is the exception rather than …

What are the jumper settings for 60 and 66mhz bus? Key oo = open jumper -- = closed jumper 60 MHz oo -- oo 66 MHz -- oo -- Thanks. Is there one for the PCI divider, too? Does anyone have a picture of the correct cache module that fits in the slot that clearly shows any numbers that may be needed to …

I almost jumped the gun on a FX 5200 PCI recently (to replace the slow TNT turd that's in my K6-3 box)... A K6-3 is probably already maxed out with a GeForce 2 MX. The AMD K6 chips are weak at sending geometry calculations to the video card so they max out sooner than Intel chips in terms of faster …

RG100 recoils in horror! Oh no! It's a PC Chips board! Get your money back! Exactly what I was thinking. For $135 you could've bought any board you wanted. If it came with a case, that's good. The 5x86ADW isn't very valuable either, at least not anymore. I got 2 last month for 5 bucks each. Dammith …

I almost jumped the gun on a FX 5200 PCI recently (to replace the slow TNT turd that's in my K6-3 box)... but I did a quick check and decided to find a radeon 9250 instead.... now to get one cheap.... Should get a 6200. Some can be unlocked to a 6600 with RivaTuner. That would be nice, a PCI 6600 …

OK. But you could consider this - give him $X dollars, as a "I'm really sorry about this but...". If I were literally in your shoes, I would give the guy $30 and say "Sorry I've made a mistake, I don't want the board." If he's upset, go ahead and buy it. If you do get it, I can help you with any …

After all the bother I put the poor guy to to get him to lower the price I really wouldn't feel right trying to back out of the deal. I'll have to live with it. At least this one seems to be one of the later versions that solves a few of the earlier versions problems. I'll have to keep looking to …

Don't know yet. As far as I know it's homebuilt, so no name on the case and I don't know which motherboard it is yet. I want to do a solid state drive of some sort with it because I don't know how reliable my old hard drives are anymore. I'd hate to get the thing put back together then go through …

I've had this Riva 128 card for years. Unfortunately, I've just broken it. The PCI connector on it is divided in to 3 sections. I inserted the back 2 PCI sections of the card in to just the large main front PCI mobo slot section, which left the front PCI section of the card "dangling" outside of …

Found somebody who had one but unfortunately he was a fellow collector and knew exactly what he had so wasn't able to get it cheap. He originally wanted $275 for it but I managed to talk him down to $135 at which point he wouldn't budge anymore and at that price he kept his hard drive which really …

The last ATi cards with Win98/Me support (catalyst 6.2) are Rageon X8xx. Hd4850 do not have win98/me drivers. You need the older videocard for this, (GF 6800 is recommended). Install win98/me with only 512 Mb RAM inserted, then run msconfig.exe and check "use only 512 Mb RAM" checkbox. Then install …

the system requirements for winflp maybe the same as XP, but because it is stripped down, I feel it is either more properly stated or overstated compared to the normal XP in otherwords, what I'm saying is, if you put winflp on a P200, it'll probably run OK I ran NT4 on a P75 back in the 90s, and …

Windows 2000 lost its main selling point (less hardware requirements, which made it ideal for older computers) when Microsoft released WinFLP.
