lol is that another overclock monster I'm seeing? ;) that full tower case looks just like my "mid" (more like mini) tower my retrobox is... basically same styling... won't be surprised if it's the same brand/company that made it! Iam not intended to overclock the cpu. I know that 133mhz would be …

Robin4, that AT tower is awesome. I'm always looking around for one of those. I think I have that same model in the standard case size, extremely yellowed though. Are you going to set up a system with it? Thank you. The craziest is, iam always finding AT bigtowers! It seems maybe i have the luck to …

I think i can total agree with Maxwar.. Because: 1. Its nice to have those old computers in your home, specially if you know that there a lot of those stuff are throwing away.. So its more like i still have those computers, and many other people havent. That also increase the value of those …

How fast is the Intel Pentium OverDrive 83MHZ comparing with the AMD Am5x86/133? I think the 83mhz would a little bit fast i guess? Am i right?

I dont know if the VRM is soldered to the board.. And i dont know what you means by that open circuit (iam not technical enough to understand that) So you are saying that the board only can use 5v or 3v perhaps? And doesnt support that 3,5 volt thing that i need to get this processor running? A VRM …

When i put a jumper cap over that jumper i mentioned earlier, then the systems stay on a black empty screen.. When i remove it, it sees the cpu as a 486 DX4 100S processor.. and then the system is working, but not at the right speed..
