I am not an expert here, but if I remember right the amount of cache ram limits the max amount of ram. 256k limits you to 64mb 512k limits you to 128 and 1mb you can go up to 256mb (if I remember right) once you get your cache see if it is stable and let us know!

I have that same board and it is amazingly stable

Hey, I hope this is not breaking the rules or anything. But I have a 333mhz k6-3 (not plus) I would be willing to donate if you are interested. I do not know how much shipping from the U.S. to Sweden would be 🤣

I managed to plug an atx powersupply backwards into my favorite gigabyte bx slot1 board. Hot summer day, tired, and it plugged in to easily to be anything but correct (or so I thought) tried for 2 hours to trouble shoot what was wrong after discovering that. Ended up blowing the power supply but …

Facebook has been acting crazy for me all day. Just loaded up right when I went to type this up! 🤣

*UPDATE* Fried my first processor today. R.I.P overdrive 100! you will be missed. Was testing a digisystems socket 2 board I found at goodwill and she sparked. still have the piece, maybe there is still a chance to save it.

it has a 120mhz AMD 486, I also have a intel dx2 66 for it if I need and thank you! So far my only complaint is the case, it is the only antec case that has not been a pleasure to build with. But the price was right at $0 😁

Well dang, my powersupply came today and the process of getting it going has begun. I am getting a keyboard error in the bios, yet the keyboard works in the bios fine. also get a cmos checksum error.

Haha thanks! il have to see about borrowing a camera from my sister! My extra parts are a isa mach8 (don't believe it works) a vlb cirrus logic card, a trident vlb card, a Pentium mmx 233mhz (from my first retro adventure) a k6-3 333mhz, and so many more. This 486 and a pentium2 I built for my best …

Hi everyone, although in progress I thought I would post about my system im working on. No pics for now, but here are the specs: pcchips m912, 24mb of ram, ati mach32 (rather nice looking model, 2mb maybe?) 3com etherlink 3 if I remember right, magic s-22 audio card, mitsumi 16x, Panasonic 3.5 …

Thank you!

I recently picked up this motherboard on the cheap and I believe that the bios is corrupt. I get a cmos checksum error and when I press DEL to enter setup it hangs on a black screen. Also it only enters the bios after I remove the bios battery and clear the jumper. The problem is that I can not find …

I have one of those slot 1 coolers from my sisters old Compaq. came off a 450mhz pentium2, I think that thing would be alright with some some fans rigged up to it, not sure however since I have never utilized it on more than a 450mhz p3

See I have also not used any of the "Good" Pentium 4's. My experience is limited to a 533fsb with no hyperthreading. I have seen late 478 and 775 rigs that are pretty snappy. The difference between a single i5 or i7 core and a single Pentium 4 core is still huge imho.

I think its my hard drive, still have both machines. Old 400gb ibm deskstar ide drive. im swapping it out for a wd 80gb just to see what kind of performance gains I get. That and my buddy was telling me that my install of xp might be messed up :p it has a NVidia 6600 in it now and iv always felt …

Newbie here, my Pentium 2 system lasted from around 1997 to 2006. I was born in 94 (my dad was awesome!) Until my motherboard caught on fire. I swear that thing ran ever thing! I put the 32mb all in wonder card in my Pentium 4 replacement I got in 2011 (went with out a pc until then!!!) and i can …

Hey I just joined up here and am starting on my first 486 rig. Had a 233 Pentium mmx system I pulled out of our basement that was ran for a while but there was a rats nest in the case, so it didn't last long. I was an idiot and threw out the case (moved) and my 3.2gb Samsung drive just croaked. I …
