Do these help? http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/ … 1505_630856.jpg http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/ … 1505_586811.jpg Looks like a boxed pentium but I wonder why the board was set to 3.3v then...

If it's a PODMMX, then it might support test register manipulation with Setmul. This would make it much more flexible for slowing down for older DOS games. Just stick it back into the computer, power it on and run CHKCPU (assuming you haven't changed the motherboard jumpers that it was set to …

Whaaat? 😀 The MMX is indeed 166MHz my error.. as for the Pentium Overdrive I have no odea what this is.. SMH..

For cpu would this help? http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/ … 1505_165615.jpg

First couple of donations for my Pentium MMX build arrived today: http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_11505/gallery_60983_11505_567630.jpg Actually came with a Pentium 133 installed but I took the liberty of replacing it with my Pentium 133 MMX http://image.bolterandchainsword …

So.. A big haul of parts arrived today (will post in what you bought thread as well :cool: ) But here's the stuff that matters. For the board model (I took the liberty of installing the MMX processor and setting voltage to 2.8V): http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_11505/ …

The board will serve me well.. The reason I'm building this PC is that I never ever had a Pentium or Voodoo 1. I went from gaming on a 486DX4-100 in software mode straight to a PentiumII-333 and Voodoo 2 in 1998. Now I want to remedy that by building a Pentium MMX Windows 95 OSR2.5 PC to play 2D and …

I can get both for a small penny. AGP versions both, apparently. Worth a buy? I used to own an i740 paired with a Voodoo 2 in my Pentium II PC back in the day, I remember it being pretty terrible in DX games (Constant hard crashes and lockups) and I opted using glide whenever possible.. I'll buy …

Finding a Socket 7 cooler would be impossible I'd guess.. But I hear Socket 370 and Socket A coolers will work fine? Much to my surprise, new-production Socket 7 (and even Socket 3!) coolers exist and aren't especially expensive. I got a good solid copper one from Cooler Master. I'm going to …

FWIW, it seems to have a 75MHz BUS jumper setting.. As for the rest, oh well. As long as it runs a P166MMX and 32MBs of EDO RAM well, I'll be ok. All I want is a good MS-DOS/Win95(98SE?) Gaming machine to remind me of what I had when I was a teenager. :) Considering I will have all parts except for …

OMG OMG OMG among all boards I've seen this one is the closest to the one in my first PC. I've been searching for 20 years and this one has all the features I can remember: two gold square heatsinks at the corner, VX chipset, 4PCI and 3ISA, 4 SIMM no DIMM, no COAST slot. I sure hated the board to …

Well JP6 seems to allow for setting vcore to MMX levels so I'm kind of hoping MMX CPUs will work. I'd have to move the A jumper to C for 2.8V to use a 166 MMX right? And I'd keep JP6 F and G closed, JP7 B closed for 2.5x multiplier and 66MHz Bus for 166 MHz anwyay?

The board didn't come in the mail yet so I haven't been able to check the back of it :( It actually came with a regular Pentium 166 on board, the 166 MMX is another chip I happen to have at hand. I guess double checking compatibility would be wise before assembly with the MMX? I lack an AT Keyboard …

Hi, first post here, was hoping some fine folks of this board could help me with a retro PC build.. I set out to rebuild my favorite gaming PC of all time; a 486 DX4-100 with a Cirrus Logic VLB graphics card, a Sound Blaster 16 and a CD-ROM drive, running MS-DOS 6.22/Windows 3.11. This quickly …
