Mind if I ask what's your reason for the OC? 1400MHz Tualatins already exist and barely cost more than the one in your link. If you want to get close to 1.4GHz, this is is the easiest way. And if you want higher FSB, I guess you can lower the CPU multiplier to maintain 1.4GHz.

Under XP: 3DMark2001SE Before: 7928 After: 14025 That's a nice improvement, but the scores for the 9800 actually look weirdly low. More like what I'd expect from a 9600, if you're using default settings. I thought it was just me or because I was testing with Win 2k and that gave me higher scores …

I was planning of sort of finishing my early 2000's dream PC. I wanted it to have a: Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB ASUS P4V800D-X Motherboard 1GB DDR400 RAM Pentium 4 3.2GHz (Northwood) I had a Celeron D 2.8GHz in the motherboard and since I replaced it with the Pentium, the system doesn't boot. Neither …

Got this from a friend in exchange for Wasteland 2 indie box. Intel Celeron 566MHz, 3DFX Voodoo 3 2000, 32 Mb of RAM, MS-6156 Ver. 2.1 BX7 motherboard. Just need to do a bit of cleaning, recap the motherboard a bit and figure out if I could find a replacement case cover, or if I'll have to find a …

I am still using a Phenom II as my daily rig. It's been holding up for about 9 years now and I can still play modern games in it at low settings (though not the most demanding games anymore). Yeah, my Phenom X6 is also in active duty with an HD7850 OC. Sometimes I'm surprised how well it handles …

I really do like the fact that we have 10-year-old hardware in the Core 2 Quad and the Xeon quad-cores that are still PERFECTLY ABLE to run modern Windows 10 for everyday tasks and even gaming at 1080@60 with moderate graphics settings. Yeah, I sort of find it odd that in earlier times if you had a …

I use a NVIDIA Geforce 3 Ti 200 AGP for my 933 MHZ P3 slot 1 build. Funny... I use a GF3-ti200 in my P3-933 as well. The difference is that mine is a socket 370 build. Haha. My P3-933 also runs a GF3 Ti200. Dell Dimension 4100 socket 370. ;) Then I guess I'm a combo breaker. I have a Radeon 8500LE …

I bought these 2 days ago and just arrived: https://i.ibb.co/t2yVJNf/vintage.jpg A Matrox Millennium , soon serve as a friend for my Maxi Gamer 3D Voodoo. An Elsa Erazor X2-A32 to help my Pentium 3 733MHz Slot1 CPU as soon as I find a good motherboard (Abit BF6 maybe?). ATi Mach64, I'm planning to …

I'm just planning to build something similar with a Pentium III 733MHz. I happened to come across an Elsa Erazor X2 (Geforce 256 DDR), it should arrive today. Though it was dirt cheap. It turns on according to the seller, but for that price (~7$) I think there is a good chance it's faulty. In your …

If you're considering a different GPU, definitely look at the original 768MB 8800GTX or the 640MB 8800GTS, they're comparatively worthless these days. Yeah, I've been planning to get some 8800 series card. The 320MB version of 8800GTS seems to be the easies to find, would it be good? I looked at …

I had a 6.4GB Quantum Fireball until last Sunday. It sounded like a angle grinder. I saved the data and tried to install a new XP on it. It took 5 hours, then short after finished, it went silent and gave of a bit of smoke.

Radeon x1050 ? - typo that should be x1950? X1050 does exist, but is somewhat mysterious... Wikipedia says it's based on the RV370 chip (Radeon X550) but with DDR2 memory and half the bus width, while VGA Legacy MKIII says it's based on RV410 (Radeon X700 series). Not sure if either version is …
