I would look into doing a proper recap of that board. Those capacitors are general purpose caps and are not suited for PC operation, where you need even lower ESR than what those provide. I've had a lot of issues similar to yours because of caps. Even as far as getting 98SE installer to get stuck …

Hi there, I hope I can find any hint here, and I hope my post is posted in the right section. The other day my friend gave me this Thin Client as broken (he wasn't use it anymore from years) and I wanted to see more and understand this platform. The Praim Thin Client has a Via processor, the C3 1, …

I saw this thread just now, that I own a 6600 AGP. For me the situation is good, with a Nforce 2 Ultra chipset, an Athlon xp-m CPU, and Windows XP. I am using the Forceware 91.67 drivers. Ps: the only thing I have a Peak edition that runs at 300mhz core, and only 200 DDR ram, absolutely bad. When I …

Following the "guide" above to flash a new bios on this card, will make them work under Windows 98. The problem with this type of card appears to be a missing "SubVendor ID" and "SubSystem ID" in the bios of the card. It seems empty or "0000" instead of "1002" and so Windows 98 accept the driver …

Nforce 3 has too many quirks with drivers, so it's a hard pass. Depends on OS. I used it with Linux for years, which works fine. Also works great with XP. Only newer Windows hits problems - but that's not really an issue with retro stuff. This is what I seem to proof. My system works perfectly with …

No one speaks about the Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA? I am using that board when finally found it on ebay at 2020. It's an am2 socket board with ddr2 support. So i put a great Phenom II 955, overclocked to 4ghz, 4gb of ddr2-1066 RAM (motherboard support the 1066 multiplier of RAM) and after that I installed …

No, this is incredible. I made it work ONE TIME, but after that, it never worked anymore. Artifacts, or black screen another time. I don't know what to say really, I just seen one time working good, stop. Incredibile. I don't know what to do. Any ideas?

Oh God, I got it!!! After tries and tries, I apparently solved through a switch that I "unchecked" in the control panel of the FastVoodoo 4.6 drivers. I toggle that every frame is synced with the videocard "vertical sync I think". In the FastVoodoo 4.6 drivers you have to go on the panel Voodoo2 OC …
