I would also say some 386 or 486 build. I have some that I have not yet understood if broken or just difficult to setup. But obviously I find easier to stabilize many setup just using the exact time correct components.

Thank :) As I wrote in another thread, I put down to lower setting to see and I basically solved some strange problems I had before; the dxr3 that had lags during playback with H+ drivers (now lags are gone) and most of all the G450 instability. I suspect also that the time I had blue screens with …

So about recapping, which brand to choose for the caps? And what about the values of the capacitors about voltage and u? Higher always better?

Hi, I was reading in the Asus A7Pro based manual the part about I/O voltage settings and there's something I'd like to ask. There're three options: 3,35 / 3,56 / 3,69v and a default of 3,56 as my sensors read during running. Is this right for an AGP1/4x and PCI Athlon based machine? Or I should set …

I have seen that also terratec dolby digital live should have the same family chipset (8788) but I don't find win9x driver anyway.

So, which brand you can be sure you'll probably always get high quality psu/components, without having to search for each capacitors inside each psu? 😁

Hi, I bought this Asus Xonar DG CMI-8786 pci audio card and I wanted to install it on a Win ME system. For the CMI-8738 I found lately Win9x drivers and I hoped (too soon) the same for this better one. Anyone know if some old drivers was done for these os? Thank

I could buy for an Athlon XP 3200+ or a Athlon 1400, the psu model Tagan TG580-U22 , used but seems in good condition. Also it should not be built too many years ago. Is it good? I had the 430W many years ago and I remember was really HEAVY and generally it seems high quality. I've also seen some …

By the way looking at some reviews, I didn't expect that even 1000W psu had SO low 5V wattage. Ok that you nowdays need 12V power but with 1000W to route on the rails a bit more on the other, come on..

Re: 2d cards

I am testing lately the different 2D analog quality with G4xx cards and I would say that their great analog signal seems to help a lot the final resulting quality when through a external pass-cable as the Dxr3, at an more than acceptable level (testing 1024x768/75Hz). Maybe the Voodoo when running …

- it should have an internal psu that switch on both the monitor/motherboard that through a socket connector that fit in the end of the case and get power from the psu (and also video connection). cp433-large-01.jpg Yep, here it is in the top right corner. Weird that it passes both video and power, …
