I assume you are referring to the ATX to AT power converters that allow and ATX power supply to be used on an AT motherboard. Since the ATX and AT wiring standards are fixed and do not change those converters will work with any AT motherboard. If there was an alternate AT power standard then there …

I just recently purchased a FIC LEO 386-25/33/40SC-2C motherboard (Bare motherboard with no extras) which I will be installing MS-DOS 6.22 on. http://th99.classic-computing.de/src/m/E-H/30646.htm It's in nearly new condition with a full 256KB cache and has been modded to use standard CR2032 …

I work in IT and my company has been retiring a lot of hardware so I have picked up a bunch of things over the last year. Yesterday I got a Dell XPS 15 L502X laptop! Intel Core i7-2670QM 2.20 GHz 8GB DDR3 Memory 320GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M 1GB Video 15.6HD TLF WLED LCD Screen …

If you find one of the PIII heatsink/fan units that support 900MHz and 1GHz then you can use it on all of them as PIII's at those higher speeds are supposed to have a higher quality/performance cooling solution than the slower PIII's. Took me a while to find a heatsink/fan that was specifically …

I looked into nForce2 in this video: https://youtu.be/z_sfv8kO3Nw With dual channel and CL2 memory, it can achieve a nice lead over a KT600 system for example. So yea, well worth keeping / using. Thanks for the info. I will check out your video to get more familiar with it. I have a Voodoo 5500 AGP …

I already have 2 Intel chipset based motherboards with Intel CPUs (PIII 1GHz & P4 1.6GHz) runnning W98SE and ME. I have always preferred Intel hardware as the last time I had AMD processors was back with the great 386DX 40MHz and 486DX4 120MHz LOL. Since this was given to me its a bit of an oddity …

Why are you considering replacing the YMF724 cards at all? I know the YM724 cards are older than Sound Blaster Audigy LS ones so I was wondering if I may get better quality/depth/complexity in the audio with the newer cards. It seems some of the primary features of the Sound Blaster Audigy LS will …

I am not doing any DOS gaming on these systems and I don't think I have many games that support EAX. I assume then with no DOS and little EAX both of these cards are about equal.

I have Win 98SE and Win ME systems that are configured with YMF724 based sound cards. I am considering replacing the YMF724 cards with Sound Blaster Audigy LS (SB0310) sound cards. Would this be a good upgrade from the YMF724 cards?

Anyone has one of these or is familiar with it? It was given to me but I know next to nothing about Nvidia chipset based motherboards. Its in great shape and I was told it was pulled from a working system. Is this a good motherboard or more trouble than its worth?

Which ones? Good question. I can barely remember that it happened let alone which specific titles they were. I think Allied General which is a sequel to the awesome Panzer General strategy game is one of them but I may be wrong. I have a huge collection of W95/W98 games that I purchased years ago. …

Is ME always capable of running games that run fine on W98SE but don't necessarily state they can run on ME? I remember a number of W95 games having issues under W98 so I am wondering if similar problems existed between W98SE and ME.

Thanks for the info F2bnp! I am still going through my extensive collection and I do recall having a Voodoo 1 and possibly two Voodoo 2 cards and a Voodoo 3 card stashed away still. So for pre 1999 games that support Glide, this card would be ideal. So I am wondering if most or all the games that …

So I have a huge collection of retro tech (PC and Game Consoles) that I have been hoarding for years that I am going through now and getting out of storage. Its been interesting to say the least and I have found some real gems that I totally forgot about including a Voodoo 5500 AGP card. I purchased …
