440BX is hard to beat. "440BX chipset doesn't support video cards with more than 64MB of VRAM" This is bullshit btw.

We covered that in a thread a while back - there were AT Socket 478 and Socket A motherboards. An AT power supply that can handle a Socket A CPU is probably even more rare than the motherboard. Really? I must have missed that thread or somehow forgotten about it. Got a link? I'm not having much …

Re: High End GPUs for XP Machine Refuse to Display

First thing I'd do is try the graphics cards in another PC. The 9800 does display on another system when I was troubleshooting. The X1900 I just picked up today so I haven't had a chance to evaluate the "tested - working" claim. Maybe try another power supply, I'm sure that EVGA is rated to be more …

This is probably the last set of benchmarks. Overclocking any higher will result in a post but bluescreens during any heavy CPU usage.

Yes this stupid thread is back. Why? Well this stupid man made a stupid purchase. I got a Celeron D 450 for $5.00 cash on kijiji. Going to play around with it a bit tonight and post some overclocking and benchmarks in a bit. Not going to bother with anything except the GTX770 that's already in the …

This dodgy Aureal AU8810 with suspiciously few caps. There is no other card like this on google photo. (until this post) Manufactured 0246, almost 2003 and still a Vortex 1? I'm curios if it works... That is weird all the ones on google images have all those empty spots populated with capacitors.

I've been looking for a local InWin A500 for years now and finally someone messaged me saying they have one. However, I don't believe this is an InWin case, but rather a clone of it? InWin Clone.jpg I'll buy it regardless, but.. Confirmation would be nice.. I handled a lot of A500 cases back in the …

there might be a way masking cpu pins :) Yeah I did some quick googling and it seems you can bridge a few pads to get 1.4V pretty easily with a conductive ink pen. I don't have one and the cheapest one I can find is about $15.00 online, which is more than the 420 CPU cost. lol This entire thing was …
