Re: Windows 98 driver for Logitech G25?

That is good to know. I'm suspecting this will also work on the G27, which would eliminate the need to keep two sets of steering wheels around for me.

All the stuff in the box works brilliantly, I am really pleased with it. It is slightly (As in, very slightly) slower than my Batman up to now (Which may actually just be the Mach64, which I will move to another machine. I have a nice S3 for this one) but I mean very, very slightly to the point …

Nice machine! Anonymous Coward wrote: The integrated video is almost certainly VLB, so in some ways your upgrade is actually a downgrade. I agree. The ATI is a nice card for an ISA-only system, but the Cirrus Logic can hold it's own. If you want to upgrade, there certainly are affordable VLB video …

Nice system! It's interesting to see what you can do with the onboard components, I never would've thought those would be good for anything. Particulary integrated video of that time usually had barely working 3D capabilities. My Abit board (listed in sig) originally had a Duron 650 that I …

Nice! Two desktop cases, Voodoo 2, Abit KT7 (with blown caps of course, but still 🤣 ). I also dig the clear blue tower case.

I was looking for a 486 on Ebay for a build I am working on and found this board for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SOYO-Socket-3-Motherboard-Am486DX4-Processor-1024kb-Edo-Ram-Rare-WORKING-/171823280906?hash=item280177330a:g:ZD8AAOSw~OdVeeZW Seems to be completely missing the bios battery, which is …

Dig the stand. I too like to have monitors at eye level or at least angled towards me.

Hm, wedge it in between the cooler and the CPU cartridge, as near as possible to the actual CPU? I wouldn't worry too much about it since it's not going to be accurate anyway, even with the original method. Or is the sensor flat enough to actually install it between CPU and cooler?

I drive my kids insane, if that counts. "Dad, I'm 10 and even I'm way more mature than you...." "What do you mean?" "You sing at the top of your voice in the middle of the shop..." "But it's a good song! I think they liked it!" "Dad... they didn't." "But you did, right?" I love it. Good. For me …
Re: Intel D865GV/Celeron-D 1.3Ghz as win98 board?
Posted on 2015-11-09, 09:56
CPU and chipset are both a good choice, but as has been said: no AGP, no floppy, no SATA - just too many drawbacks IMO.

About P3... I wonder how would a Tualatin have performed if they gave it the Netburst's improved branch prediction and quad-pumped FSB, and then lauched THAT as the Pentium 4 on socket 423. Well... the Pentium M _is_ pretty much what you're describing here. No idea what would've happened if it was …

Might be a good idea for someone with electronics knowledge and/or soldering skills which I have neither. Bring it to computer service. They should remember CRTs and may make this. Yeah, right. I don't know any computer shops that ever serviced CRTs and there certainly aren't any now. Your best bet …

Does anyone know if the 5k86 really is faster/more efficient than the SSA/5 stepping? Since the later 5k86 uses a higher PR rating than it's clockspeed, while the earlier one has a PR rating exactly at it's clockspeed.

I had a K5-PR100 from '96 to '97 and have really fond memories of it. Replaced it in '97 with a new system with K6-200 though. The K5 back then was good value for many and could hold it's own against Intel chips. I recently found an old magazine where they were complaining about the methods Intel …

I still can't believe AMD even released Bulldozer. Technically it is not that bad, but they had no leverage to allow it to take off. Their CMT (clustered multi-thread) doesn't shine with code optimized for good old SMT, they don't have their own compiler to really extract its full potential, and …
