TUSL2-C is tualatin motherboard, correct one and should had gotten one, perfect for 98se for 512MB. BX will be out of spec at 133MHz on AGP slot if using any CPUs with 133 fsb and no reason to go beyond 512MB again due to windows 98se. Cheers, Yeah... no. This is a nostalgia project for me and I …

I ordered an Asus CUBX-E from Russia on ebay a few weeks ago, finally received it today! Should be fun to finally have a working 440BX Tualatin machine again. EDIT - Here's a pic of the board on my desk as I update the bios to a version modded with Tualatin microcode.

hahaha Alright guys I'll grab it next time I'm there. I've never been great with a soldering iron but I guess I'll make a thread about attempting to repair that board when I have it. https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/XNAF5pAQENI/hqdefault.jpg "You know how to get to Carnegie Hall, don't ya?" hah yep.

Got this in the mail today. It's a Creative Labs Vibra 16X, tested in my K6-2 and works nicely. I actually ordered this before I got the 2 free AWE64 cards so now it's not really needed, but doesn't hurt to have an extra ISA sound card in my box of stuff. This pic is from the ebay auction, I have …

Bought another one of these Pioneer slot drives. This is the third one I've bought. Two others died quite soon after purchase. Maybe this will last :D I just like how they look. Bit different than typical PC drives, somewhat eyecatching when someone has one of these in their machine. 20200728_ …

Are you using the Asus CT-479 adapter to get that pentium m in that board? I occasionally search ebay for that part but I've never seen one come up, I'd love to buy one. EDIT - Upon closer inspection I do see CT-479 on the fan sticker. Were you lucky enough to find one on ebay?

Thank you and yes, I have the same CPU and am pretty sure CPUZ ran OK on it last time I tried it. Can you boot NT/2K/XP on that system? If you can it would be interesting to see what Menu->Hardware->CPUID->CPU-0 reports, below is what I get on my CPU. I'll load up XP on it and try that out shortly. …
