Follow-up on the previous follow-ups RDRAM troubles: the end? So, I don't want to jinx it, but it seems the motherboard was just dirty . After my last update I took apart the machine and proceeded to clean the motherboard very thoroughly. And I mean VERY thoroughly: IPA, toothbrush, toothpicks, …

Let's get back to our roots and actually DO something with the hardware rather than trying to buy/sell it. This. I work under the assumption people interested in old games and hardware actually know how to get their hands in old games and hardware, no need for a thread with "deals". I'd much rather …

It would be nice for sure to have other people testing these things. I contacted a user from the voodooalert.de forum to share the Tualatin mod, these german-speaking guys seemed to be very fond of the board, and while I saw that he shared the info on the mod I never heard back from anyone about it. …

... Once I get this 286 off my bench I'll take a few pics. ... How's it going with the 286? Hurry! :lol: ... I think I got disillusioned when I found out how little the i960 did. It's not the fault of the hardware. That is working just fine. But it was designed to be a buffer on old slow network & …

I‘m more in the time-lock team, because it hasn’t been just one user doing this. There have been several of those over the years. Not necessarily rage quitting like this but slowly turning their posts here into nothing, breaking threads etc. It’s sad to watch this. But I do see that it is a bother, …

Yes - speaking as a mod: one forum member had openly stated that they were going to blank all their informative posts ever in protest, and was inciting other people to follow suit. When this forum member started actually doing this, action was taken. Rather extreme, I know. Editing has been locked, …

That thread was pure comedy most of the time: rants about availability of hardware and how everything was cheaper 10+ years ago, how youtube channels are ruining the hobby, badmouthing ebay sellers and sellers HILARIOUSLY coming to defend themselves… I also visited it every day, but not looking for …

A couple of follow-ups Concerning RDRAM troubles I have commented a few times about my trouble with big RDRAM modules and how the machine becomes unstable with them. I've hypothesized basically everything under the sun: 40ns modules make the machine unstable, ECC makes the machine unstable, ICH …

I flutter between projects like a magpie with ADHD. It is still first in my heart, but I'm not much of a gamer. So once I got the system going, I went to the next thing. Anything in particular you want to know? What's the current config, do you use it for anything? Would the board take P2 …

ACPI Woes In a previous post I had mentioned some trouble when trying to install the ACPI HAL under Windows XP: a normal installation would recognize the computer as an MPS Multiprocessor PC , and trying to force the ACPI HAL during installation by pressing F5 before the F6 extra drivers prompt at …
