It's a U2410 yes. Got it as a replacement for some Samsung Synchmaster, simply cause the contrast in dark areas was quite bad on the Samsung. The IPS panel simply looks so much better. I don't use two screens for gaming, and at the moment I don't really think of the games I play would benefit from …

Here's my little computing place. I don't normally keep the blinds up and window open behind my computer desk, but at the moment it's so bloody hot I need to keep as much air flowing through the flat as possible, or else I might overheat. Also, the airflow seems to be doing wonders for temperatures …

i use kernel-ex it lets you run newer xp stuff like newer version of firefox or firefox-palemoon and flash. Hmm... That sounds interesting. Not that I really need a very modern browser on this system, it's just for running older Win9x era games anyway, so browsing was just for fun. Did a run of …

Yeah, I do realize that plastic yellows with age, but it does yellow from cigarette smoke as well. I expect this one isn't really yellowed from smoke though, but the colour is pretty much the same.

Going with an Abit KT7A motherboard, would allow you to run an Athlon or even Athlon XP CPU, while giving you one ISA slot for an older model sound card. This is probably the fastest CPU/motherboard combination I can think of that would allow for native ISA sound for DOS compatability, while also …

Sad to hear it's not working. My first 486 was an AST. An AST Advantage! 486SX/33 (yes the name included the !). They liked their custom build motherboards with everything integrated. Never saw an AST with normal AT motherboard. That 3Com Etherlink III is a nice one. 😀

Okay, I said I'd sort some pictures, so here are a few. Only got a simple compact camera, so please don't mind the quality. http://home.hit.no/~113994/Compaq_Front.jpg Here's the machine in all its errr, glory. http://home.hit.no/~113994/Compaq_Front2.jpg Close up of the front bezel, looks a lot …

Just got out my old dvd copy of "The Moment of Silence", which I can't play on my main system anymore thanks to the stupid Star Force copy protection. It plays perfectly on this Compaq fortunately :D Also had a go at The Curse of Monkey Island, and the sound is just awesome running through my home …

Hi everybody. I'm one of those, probably many, people who have been lurking in the shadows of this forum. I've been reading a lot, but so far only posted once, but a few weeks ago, I started a retro project, so I thought I'd better get involved here, as this seems to be the best place to find …

Heya, first post here for me, but I felt I'd like to contribute to this. For the pentium era, pre "super 7", the best chipset as best as I can recall, was the i430TX. I had an ASUS TX-97 motherboard, which actually managed 75MHz fsb with my K6 200. Normal was 3 x 66MHz, so it only gave me a minor …
