Was Intel ever really gone? Most companies I support have intel only policy, even for workstation/server class machines. Personally, I haven't purchased a new computer in years but I'm no power user. Instead, I supply my family, friends and myself with work hand-me-downs Most of them are Intel only …

The company i work for is 100% home office and let us use whatever we want as long as the deadlines for the jobs are met, they dont care about what we use. They also offer a win 10 laptop, which I kindly refused. The board of directors, nearly all of them use macs, except the CEO. This is the …

I'm rocking a Ryzen system right now, but I'm really rooting for Intel's foundry services. TSMC is too dangerous a single point of failure in the supply chain. I don't know when Taiwan is going to get the Hong Kong treatment, but no serious person thinks it won't happen, it's just a question of …

He might have been being sarcastic indeed. I don't know. Some people feel differently about these companies than I do, and that's fine.

Oh come on. Intel is being used as a mop at this point. Who cares about Apple's mobile phone operating system.... As as far as RISC being the future.....well I've heard that one before.

My first was a 1988 Suzuki Samurai. 1.3liter 4 cylinder and a 5 speed. Top speed was about 55mph-if there was a tailwind and you were going downhill. It had a removable hard top and was a lot of fun for what it was. Ended up selling it to my brother, I think he rebuilt engine/transmission both and …

From what gather the latest bios for this board is P12 which is what I got. Now the cpu has a 100mhz FSB not 133 so maybe that's why it's running no problem except the slower clock. Have you checked the actual clocks peed in either DOS or Windows? My Celeron 1100 shows up during post as a 'Pentium …

That's a great looking system and should handle your tasks quite well. Sweet. Always nice to see any love for the often maligned FX series. Somewhere I still have my old 9590 kicking around. I agree FX was underappreciated. AMD was smaller back then and had limited resources for a single design …

Hmmmm. You might be right, I will have to check mine. Seems like you might be right. I know my Intel branded one supports pretty much all of my Coppermine chips as well as my Via C3 Nehemiah with the proper slocket. I've had both a 1GHZ PII and a 1.1GHZ Celeron in there, i've tried them all on in …

What is the board revision and the bios version? I have two Seattle boards, one is OEM Intel and the other is in my Dell XPS, they both support my PIII 850 without a problem. I'm not sure on the Dell but I'm fairly sure that the BIOS version on the OEM is P13.

The average everyday "Buy Now" prices are almost always ridiculously inflated. You can sometimes get a decent deal with regular old auction listing, the problem is that those are few and far between. Normally they will either be crazy Buy Now, or just insane starting bid prices. What usually gets me …

I didnt realize OP was running dx2 without heatsink. Occam's razor, this is very likely answer. Is there any proof that running a DX2-66 without a heatsink can actually kill it? I would be very surprised if that was the issue. Yes, number one they are labeled as such "requires heatsink and fan" …

Remove any cards or peripherals that you don't need (sound, drive controllers etc), pare it down to just PSU/MB/CPU/RAM/Video. Reseat everything, including ram, cpu etc. Check all jumper settings. Start there.
