Had a little voltage checkup on the (AT) psu. Put my multimeter on the connector, pushed in gentle next to the power wires to make sure power is measured directly on the connector. Results on ATX connectors: +12v = 12.41v -12v = -12.31v +5v = 5.14v (all four pins) -5v = -4.94v Power good = 5.14v …

Don't know if it was v1 or V2, didn't give it too much attention. Just checked what CPU is might support and since it didn't take coppermine I didn't feel like keeping it. Looking at some of pics it had a 600MHz P3, not a 500... (Dxdiag). Didn't make pics from the motherboard so I don't know for …

[...] And a Packerd Bell computer with onboard Voodoo 3, 8 MB and very low clocked (sold that one already, I'm not into PB). Argh, if you ever come across one again, give me a message. For oddball reasons (basically an inside joke with an ex-colleague from the PB helpdesk 20 years ago) I'm trying …

I hope you rescue the voodoo computers to get the voodoo hardware? Voodoo anything is rare and good demand. Cheers, So far I got a working Voodoo 3 3000 AGP (the one I mentioned), a voodoo 1 (seems to be recognised by win98, needs further testing) and this voodoo 2 that might or might not work in …

Seems like my Aptiva is getting stuck on the Rage II+... I put in my M64 and Windows detected the card. I installed the driver (Nvidia version 71.something) which I always use for all my Gforce 2 and older cards. Windows won't boot and the thing gets too hot to touch within minutes. And yes, the …

PCI TNT2 + Voodoo 1 is what this PC needs IMO That would need a fourth PCI slot, which is not present unfortunately. No Voodoo2 isn't an issue in terms of performance, a TNT2-M64 is pretty equivalent. You just lose native GLide and "image quality" (Voodoos have that lovely fuzzy effect). Voodoo3 …

Thanks everybody! So it seems the TNT would be the way to go! (it seems it's a M64 model, but I guess the PCI bus will be the bottleneck here) Unfortunately it won't be doing a Voodoo2 along with the TNT2, because there are just 3 PCI slots. I already have a LAN card in it, and want to add USB 2.0 …

Help everybody, I've been here for quite a while, mostly stealth, only not to long ago made an account here. A while ago I bought an IBM Aptiva 2137-E60. The hard drive was whiped and the CDROM drive is dead (won't open, think it's fixable). The positive side: it's almost in mint condition. I …

I remember my IBM has a high end S3 vision x64 onboard but have to check what kind it is... Might be the 864 as well, which would make these chips useless for that computer.

Too bad... Guess I'll stick with the TGUI9420 then 😀 Maybe the memory modules are any good for other graphics cards, so I can rip them off then. I know my IBM Valuepoint has two empty sockets on the motherboard, not sure yet if these would do.

Be carefull and aware.... Caps and other SMD components missing and halfway ripped off: R226, R12, C328 and more.... Pins on the S3-928 chip it self are bent. Whut? Why didn't I notice that earlier? Good thing I didn't just pop it into my 486. So... basically this card is not usable for me. I'm not …

Indeed it is the logo from Digital Equipment Corp. The back does have some numbers written, but searching them did not give me any results. See attached image.

That came to my mind along with the idea it might be too connect a monitor or something. So... Can this card be useful? Since it lacks a VGA connector?

Hello everyone, I'm sort of new here. I have been reading a lot of posts here for quite some time now. And found a lot of answers to my retro stuff. Thanks for that! But since I'm stuck at some stuff I decided to create an account and post some questions myself. Here comes the first one. Some time …
