Re: how can i identify whether an early slot1/s370 board works with coppermine cpus?

Sure, look up the vrm chip's datasheet. Though the bios might still block Coppermines from booting.

What are your system specs? There's various reports on Vogons of USB2 cards slowing down systems, so you might be better off using a hub with your usb1 ports.

Are you using an analog or digital connection to your cd rom drive? Furthermore, if you're using wdm drivers there's the option of playing back audio digitally over IDE instead of the separate cable, this might also have an impact. I don't remember off the top of my head where this setting is …

See https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=89098 If the reason you want 70Hz is because you're planning on showing perfectly scaled 320x200 DOS games, you're out of luck. Monitors perform incorrect scaling for that resolution and 4:3 ones don't support 70Hz, as far as I'm aware. Also note that …

I had a similar system back in 1996, it came with a 2mb Virge card. I played all the games you mentioned, it even came with Pod because of the MMX cpu. It's also fun to try the Virge (s3d) version of that game. In 1998 or I upgraded it with a Voodoo2, although it might have been wasted on that …

You'll probably be fine, but it's best to to check the specs of the VRM chip, it'll be a small chip near the caps and mosfets near your CPU socket. If it can supply 2.0v, it'll do so if the CPU asks for that.

When first trying to pick up C++ with Visual C++ 6, I came from VB5/6 and I too remember being confused you couldn't just hit f1 and look up all the language's keywords and entire API. In C++ you're dealing with the language itself (which, for VC6, is pretty small), the CRT (C runtime), STL (C++ …

I think that 15A means the max load under which they measured the sample circuit. It would be more relevant to check the max current the MOSFETs in the circuit can carry.

From the point of view of the monitor, it cannot easily distinguish 720x400 from 640x400 so all LCD monitors I've tested assume it's 720x400 and you get some doubled pixels. To avoid it you must use additional hardware like the OSSC (it also removes the requirement for VGA input). Many monitors …
