I would be surprised if even 1 out of 100 people would recognize that it was a Voodoo 4.

I'm betting they try to push the numbers just the same as record companies do. Every single pirated copy is counted as a lost sale.

The dumb thing is that they count all downloads of pirated software as lost sales.. when in reality, the majority of those downloads would have never resulted in a sales if it wasn't available for download. The publishers should be very aware that this is the case but if they admitted it then they …
Re: Any use for S754-system with PCIe ?

It would be ok for a Win98 system using a PCIe Geforce FX. I probably wouldn't bother with that though.

I have an ISA 2MB ATI Mach64 card. It should support the same as the PCI variant I would think. Can you check? My SIV utility should report the supported modes on Menu->Machine->Graphics if the card is in a Windows NT or 9X system. I'll have to dig it out and build a system to put it in. I'll try …

I thought the max size of iRAM was 4GB. Can anyone confirm? That's what the specs state, but DDR1 sticks are limited to 1GB each unless you go to server type sticks. If it, for some reason, works with registered sticks, you might be able to go up to 16GB total. As for other RAM drives, I would …

I agree. It looks like a solid P4 board, so long as the caps are replaced. I might be interested in this, actually. I'm experiencing a bug with one of my late Intel chipset boards and the disk caching DOS driver that I use. If I can reproduce it on this board, I can mail it to the author for study. …

Yeah.. I just have way too much stuff to have time to do cap replacements on boards that I don't really need. Decided to post stuff here for free that needs a little bit of work instead of trying to sell it for almost nothing on eBay. I have a massive number of s478 and LGA775 CPUs as well that I am …

What bus speed are the P4 and Q6600 running at? Is the RAM running at 1:1 with the fsb?

Again, free if you pay shipping. Intel D865GFB motherboard. This was pulled out of an old video surveillance system. I haven't tested this board but the seller said it posted and had pictures to show it. I have the I/O panel for this board. It does have some bad caps that will need to be replaced. …
Re: After 40+ years of home printer technology, what have we learned?
Posted on 2023-03-30, 20:06
I've been using only laser printers for close to 20 years now. Got my first one when I was in college - somebody threw it in the trash. Older Dell B/W laser printers are ok. I've never seen a color one that I was impressed with the design. Newer laser printer brands I like are HP and Brother. Always …

I've wanted to get one of those i-RAM drives but was never willing to pay the price they go for. They also came in a 5.25" bay format. There is a company that is getting ready to release a PCIe device that takes DDR4 modules. Initial testing shows a 15GB/s throughput. The nice thing about these …

What is going on with the prices of these things now? I happened to snag this Vortex 2 on eBay for $30 shipped just a few days ago, but I'm seeing them go for over $100 regularly now... there's one up right now that is going to sell for at least $200. What?🧐 I recently bought five of them NOS in …

I'm planning on posting a bunch of stuff in here the next few days / weeks. It will all be free provided you pay shipping. Up first are a couple Logitech mice that need a microswitch replaced. The G9 I have owned since new. I had to remove the rubber coating a few years ago when it turned sticky. …

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Intel Skulltrail setup? It is still LGA771, but was not a server setup. I'm not finding any reference to any dual LGA775 setups and, as others have already stated, LGA775 CPUs were not dual socket capable.

I picked up an old Laser386/3 and it had one of these in it... I see Midi Land and MD801 on the card. FCC ID tracks to JFWMD-801 but that's about all I could find out. It has a MPOWER DSP202 and Yamaha YM3812, so maybe a SB clone from 1992? I would love to get it working in the machine it came with …

So I tried using the forums on an iPhone 12 today. In both Safari and Chrome, the desktop mode doesn't work. Tried unselecting and reselecting the desktop mode multiple times but it didn't help. It works as expected on Chrome on Android. Just one more reason to not like Apple or is there something …
