I have installed the Audigy SE in the AXP system, turns out it is a "fake" card?! It detects it as a ES1371/1373 SB PCI card (same as CT4810), but it wont work at all. I can't get any sound. Garbage. I just looked at the picture, that indeed doesn't look like a real Creative SB0570, what a …
Re: Slot 1 CPU fitting..

Not meaning to start a debate, just for general info. The standard Intel SECC (PII and PIII) cassettes measure 14 millimetres width at the sides. The Foxconn measures 16 millimetres. I do not rule out that there may be common retention clips out there that can accomodate the Foxconn sink without …

:3 in any case, would you mind taking more detailed pictures of the retention mechanism when you have the board?

I still believe it could fit, the plastic part on the OP board is wider on top than the one with the fixed retention mechanism. I'd like to see a more detailed picture of that... as it almost looks "closed off" on top compared to others, almost as if the plastic is meant to go "over" the cpu. if you …

ok I see what you mean now... I think... still hard to tell if there is actually any difference without seeing it side to side with a SECC PII package

Hi all, Have this board on the way: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254594779337. It has the Slot 1 retention built in to the motherboard, which is nice.. however the CPU I am looking at which is this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401872971806 has a large aluminium heatsink that to me looks like it …

what a comfy room... that apricot system is a thing of beauty, too bad the CRT doesn't quite match ^^

the retention arms usually go onto the plastic shell of the CPU, as this CPU has no plastic shell (only back cover), the heatsink is there instead, you can see the two little retention nubs poke out at the side beyond the heatsink. in short: yes it will fit 😀

My favorite TV? LCD? my Sony KDL-40Z4500 it has a VGA input and practically no input lag image quality is more than good enough for me on this 12 year old LCD, don't need anything more. CRT? my Sony KX-27PS1 because it's just magnificient in every regard (technically not really a "TV" as it doesn't …

the cheapest shipping option from here would already over €10 and that's in an envelope, add tracking to that and you're already at €15 and no company is going to send without tracking as the liability is just too high, especially when you are small and can't just brush off lost packets or fraud …
Re: Compaq OEM Voodoo 3 3500 AGP with only VGA and TV-Out... lets put this to rest.
Posted on 2020-05-16, 12:32
I'm sorry, I'm really unsure if I understand what you're saying. Are there Voodoo3 cards with the Compaq Voodoo3 3500 AGP layout and 5.5ns SDRAM chips clocked at 166MHz? from what I've seen, yes, can't be sure though, might have just been people mistaking the Compaq for a normal Voodoo3 but not …

what about all the 183Mhz cards that are missing the "correct" Bios ^^ from what I have read the Voodoo3 is mainly limited my memory clocks, so any card with 5.5ns memory would easily reach that. it seems weird to me they didn't market them as 3500s. I'll deliver the link later but originally the …

that defeats the whole purpose of storing them in a box though ^^ might as well keep them in their current storage then. would probably also destroy the integrity of the cardboard box, they are flimsy enough as is.

That's cool.. All my motherboards are in large boxes stacked against each other and somewhat uncomfortably tightly I might add, I will look into ordering a bunch of cardboards that will comfortably fit a single ATX motherboard each. I wonder if there is a standard size for this? The boxes I'm using …
