So not being able to find an HD3450 or HD4350 AGP low-profile card for cheap, or ANY 128-bit low-profile AGP cards, I picked up an XFX Geforce 6200. Part #: PV-T44A-WANG nVidia Geforce 6200 256MB DDR2 TV DVI AGP 8X 64-bit Memory Interface NV44A with 4 Pixel Pipelines, 3 Vertex Processors Clocked at …

Who knew it would be this much of a challenge to find the right card! This was supposed to be a little fun side project.. I guess that's how these things go... Hehehe. 😎

This board also supports the AM5x86/133 and these processor are pretty affordable: Set jumpers as follows: 18 1-2 20 1-2 Non-SL 33 2-3 34 2-3 35 1-2 36 2-3 38 open 40 2-3 The L1 cache must be run in Write-Through mode since the Saturn chipset doesn't support Write-Back mode for L1 cache.

So at this point is it looking like the 6200, even with a 64-bit bus is the best bet?

Finding supported AGP cards in Windows 98SE isn't too much of a problem - but when you add the half-height restriction that really changes the game. I'm seeing the same thing though - all of the half-height 6200s are the newer 64-bit core or the 6200a variants. Some of these even go down to 32-bit …

I'd be concerned about the 200W power supply if its low quality. There are plenty of units that wattage that would handle that system just fine (as long as you don't go too crazy with the GPU or other components), but there are also others that can't. Its not so much the wattage as it is the …

Can anyone confirm the fastest AGP 4X card for Windows 98SE is the nVidia Geforce 6200? I've got a MicroATX SFF desktop case and I'm looking for a half-height AGP card that will be paired with a socket 478-based P4 Micro ATX board. Here's the new-old-stock chassis: http://global.aopen.com/products_ …

My setup works pretty well. I use a Netgear N300 Wireless Range extender (downstairs) in my workbench area that receives a wireless signal from my main router (upstairs). The extender plugs in any AC outlet and has one RJ45 port that I use to connect up to integrated NICs or ISA/PCI NICs on whatever …

That is one card I don't think I would be running incase I destroyed it. To be fair to Artex he often receives criticism for perceived hoarding of parts, so I think this project demonstrates he truly has the heart of an enthusiast. THANK you! AMEN! Apparently these folks have also missed my "build …

Thanks again everyone! I plan to put this thing in a proper case - just need to find one that will fit it properly. There are one or two buldging caps on the board that I'd like to replace as well, but I will be throwing up some Unreal benchmark #'s and I can certainly do 3D Mark 2001 @ 640x480 and …
