Wow nice find. Sadly I don't have any extra money currently for retro hardware. The fun part about the upgrade if you have a coast module or cache on the motherboard after you install the cpu that coast stick or on board L2 becomes L3 cache as the cpu has l2 cache on die Sure about the L2 on die? …

AFAIR; on NT4.0, there was this "uptomp.exe" or something that like command, that made the OS MulitProcessor upgraded - (used to upgrade a system, where an extra CPU had been installed). But after running that command, there was no way to run the system uniprocessor again, as the whole HAL was …

Wow, according to the box, the PODP5V83 could also replace an SX-33 (well of course, I just never thought of it). What a great boost that must be .. 😁 [Edit]: Apparently I did think about it before .. 🤣 http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32265&start=0

Would the lack of a BIOS battery prevent it from powering up? By the way, I see some green residue at where the battery has been. Are all traces intact?

Some Tyan 430HX boards have split voltage to the socket, but I think the official support only went up to 200MMX. The limitation is probably due to how much current the onboard voltage regulator can source. When using upgrade modules, the majority of current is coming directly from the PSU via the …

If you are referring to the benchmarking I did, I compared them in Windows 98SE, so it would all be a single CPU comparison. I will begin installing games on the Proserva V using W2K shortly and will see if using dual P233MMX chips in W2K offers any advantage over a single CPU in Win98SE. As for my …

I'm curious what would have been the market for dual socket 5/7 systems based on the 430HX back in early 1996? According to wiki, the 430HX was released in February 1996, but dual Pentium Pro chipsets, the 450KX and 450GX, had already been released in November 1995. I have benchmarked the dual …

I solved the Windows protection error. A residual 3Dlabs driver was trying to control the AGP bus while the Matrox card was plugged in. I'm now able to see the G200 in Windows 98 and have installed the drivers for it. When switching VGA over to that card, it is now displaying output. It is the "non …

Yes, I've done that a couple of times, with both G100 and G400 cards. Both showed no picture in text (DOS) mode - but worked fine when booted into windows??? Both run with BIOS recovery disk "in the blind".

The "L" designators are typically inductors, agreed, but often those inductors, when that size, are more like ferrite beads used for EMI suppression, so it might prove very difficult to measure unfortunately ..
