Maybe the SB Live is too new for the 693? 😁

Pretty nice,yet why did you install Windows 98 SE?512MB RAM is enough to run XP SP3 or even 7 if you add another 512MB stick in there.

Thanks guys, a lot of love really went into this build. Tried to keep it as tidy as I could which is especially hard when you've got 2 floppy drives, a Zip drive, a dvd drive, a live drive and the hard drive. So many ribbon cables and all those molex connections really do cause a bit of a mess. I …

That's a sexy lady you got there. Hats off. Your quote reminds me of Gangnam Style :lol: Posted this in the photo thread but then decided it deserved its own thread :) Anyway, I just literally completed my latest rig. Been a while in the making due to waiting on parts but I finally got there in the …

DDR333?Wasn't the 845 series chipset limited to 266MHz?

Yes,M577 is good too.I wonder if one would have a PC with those parts inside that he could run Windows 7.(patched) 512MB RAM(2x256MB PC100,MVP3 doesn't like PC133) a 80GB SATA HDD (on a PCI controller obiviously) a PCChips M577 600MHz AMD K6-2 or K6-III FX5200 AGP video card (M577 uses MVP3 chipset, …

Mine is a plain 64 chipset.And,I've seen BIOSes on video cards nicer than the one it has such as the Number Nine 9FX.(it has a blue line at the top which reads"Number Nine Vision Technology,Number Nine 9FX,(a music note)Now I'm 64....") Also,you say you have a Diamond S3 Trio 64V+.What text does it …
S3 Trio 64 BIOS flash

i've got here a S3 Trio 64 Thunder video card with a windowed BIOS chip (MBM27C256A) and I want to change the Phoenix Technologies BIOS it has with something else.Now,from my searches,I found 4 revisions of the S3 Trio: EON2AA(the one my card uses) ,EOA2AA,MOK2AA,MOC2AA. The only one matching is a …

Watch out not to get a weird setup out of those parts! Last time I did a Athlon XP 1700+ machine with 128MB DDR266 RAM (which is a very small amount)and a old Seagate Medalist HDD which was 1.7GB.Not to mention,instead of a AGP card I used a S3 Trio 64 PCI video card (1MB)and a Realtek network card, …

Yes,DVD drives are new.........but it's a 386 after all,not some UFO server.

I wish I would have kept an old ViewStar 17" CRT.I still remember the days I was playing on it,I was playing 4 hours day and 4 hours night,and when I finally would turn it off,my eyes would be red as if I would have taken weed 🤣

Nice rig......yet you ran out of CD-ROM drives?I don't see any sense of having a DVD-ROM in there.

A gigantic failure.Not even RDRAM,FDIV bug or the i820 chipset were such failures as the 266MHz Celeron. Now that I said that I remembered I have a couple RDRAM sticks that I can't use.Any ideas what to do with them?

PcBytes, no one will answer you better than Redhill :) http://redhill.net.au/c/c-9.html Now another thing comes here:if Intel had ALL the necessary things to do it,as they did the Pentium 2 266 and 300MHz,then why they did make a such failure of a CPU without L2 cache?Those Celerons without L2 …

You try so hard to cover it up that I think you were actually looking for something more saucy :D I don't.It really is the first time I hear about "ZONE". Until I found it I was only going on Vogons,TPU (TechPowerUp),ASSEMbler,badcaps.net./mlp/,and most of the stuff I was searching was PS1/PS2/Xbox …

Another thing I might do is not use 98lite next time and use IEradicator instead. I'm skeptical as to how much snappier the OS is with Windows 95's Explorer than the non-HTMLized 98 Explorer. Besides, messing with all that may have contributed to my driver problems and other stability issues. I …

What I read from that picture is "I enjoy Teen Titans 'hentai' flash games.... and old processors that lack cache." First,I don't know what she is doing,as I didn't know about ZONE until now.The only things I saw from her was one news episode on Youtube(which I use as a video source for Skrillex …

Okay.I have some good news and bad news. Good News 1:I found 2 good CPUs while digging through motherboards: Pentium 4 1.7GHz and Pentium 3 933MHz. Good News 2:The 933MHz CPU is working,as I used my old IBM GA-6WMMC7-E1 motherboard to test it and I was greeted by the IBM logo. The Bad News:I got a …
