Installed a Arctic Silent 3 HSF in my Tualatin machine today. I was after one of these coolers for a while due to the slanted base. There are caps in close vicinity to the socket which made it impossible to install larger heatsinks. https://i.imgur.com/PcoB9SBl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FZosB4ol.jpg

I still don't see the point in it (Banshee + P55C is a period correct combination of systems specs) but whatever floats your boat... Fair enough mate. I'd like to use the banshee in some future build. I really want to use the O3D because i think it fits the machine really well. I think it sits …

Hi Tiido - This is such a great project and i'm sorry your not able to see it further currently. When you get back to normal i'd love to pick one up especially for the Wavetable header!! A quick question, i currently have a 719/704 card, would your software be compatible with it? This is my card …

Why would anyone replace a Banshee with a crippled low-end TNT2? When you have the parts.. why not. Nothing lost. The machine is a P200MMX which i believe the Banshee is wasted on. It was a toss up between a S3 Virge/VX 4mb and the M64. The M64 has good dos performance and adds that bit of DX as …

Been working on these pair today. The right one is going through quite a change in configuration regarding sound and video. It was originally setup like this 3D Blaster Banshee PCI, EWS64s, SW60XG, YMF719/704 New setup is TNT2 M64 PCI, Orchid 3d, (Possibly Matrox M3D also), AWE32 CT3980, With DB50XG …

Finally got me one of the good AWE32 sound cards. CT3980. Been after one for a while but prices always go high. This is going straight into the 200MMX!

This was listed as a Asus MX440 but actually turned out to be a MX460! Looks a really nice card for a MX model.

One of those pickups when you don't really know why you bought it but it was a good price...

I Started working on my Tualatin machine today. Been wanting to do a BX based Tualatin build for a long time. Never had any luck running a Slot 1 BX board @ 133mhz no matter how hard I tried or combination of Slokets etc! I did pick up a while ago a Abit BX-133 board but the caps were shot and I …

I think ive finally found a board to use with my Tualatin 1400-S! I've not had much luck with Slot1 boards that can run at a 133mhz FSB. I have some VIA chipset boards but only have the one ISA slot. This cropped up and i was lucky to win it for a great price. At first i couldn't get it to post but …

I used to be big into taking pictures of my PVM's a while ago. I come away with some great results. I used a canon 1000d woth a 50mm 1.8 lens on a tripod. I remember having to mess with the shutter speed to combat the screen flicker. Here are a couple of shots i managed to capture https://i.imgur. …

Bought myself a ABIT BX133 RAID, along with a tualatin adapter. When the package arrived I was a bit dismayed to see the motherboard wrapped inside standard bubblewrap, but so far the motherboard seems to be fine, just got to see if Windows 98 will install properly. How are the caps on yours? I …
