P4 underclock help

Hello. I have p4-2.66 northwood (533mt/s bus speed, 512kb cache) And I have an msi motherboard that supports 400 to 800mt/s But it won't allow me to select 100mhz(400mt/s) for this cpu. I have another mobo, it allows, ok. When I use 400mt/s cpu on msi mobo, it works at 400mt/s. I have read somewhere …

Thanks you all! A few follw-up questions: 1) What improvements can be made if I was aimimg for V20, 286 or 386sx (cacheless motherboard)? (but still real-mode and no 32-bit code) 2) Does ram response times make difference to what code performs fastest?

Hi! My knowledge of assembly is weak-to-medium. This started as simple image downscale attempt, but I will ask in general. I am trying to copy data from one location to another, but neither source nor destination are consecutive. Like this: asm1.png My code is this: ************************ mov cx, …

Re: EGA together with mode13h

mkarcher, understood. (Thinking outside borland editor now) So we can load characters of height 8, 14 and 16. Anything else? Is it possible to load font with charac height 12 easy way? (I imagine hard way could be to redraw smaller characs within 16high ones, then limit drawn charac height to 12? …

Update, I use this to set 80x28 mode: MOV AX,1111h MOV BX,0000h INT 10h But once I start IDE it's back to 80x25. Is there a more permanent method to set 80x28? (like mkarchers link did for 80x43)

Thank you mkarcher! That worked. Zup, I didn't know that mode 80x28 existed. Any idea how I can force editor to 80x28 mode? (I assume it is done by loading ega font in vga mode 400/14=28.57=28, but how to achieve this?) I am looking for a solution here, if you have an idea please let me know! …
DOSBOX scaling question
Posted on 2024-01-15, 12:12
Hi ! Is it possible to scale dosbox asymmetrically (window mode)? For example: 320x200 to 960x400 (X*3 and Y*2) For example: 640x480 to 1280x1440 (X*2 and Y*3) For example: 720x400 to 720x800 (X*1 and Y*2) etc... If not, can you suggest a simple free program that can integer-scale a window …
EGA together with mode13h
Posted on 2024-01-15, 08:49
Hi ! I am using Turbo Pascal programming. The editor uses 80x25 text mode, but I am mostly programming for mode13h (320x200 with 8bit color). There is an option to switch to 80x43 (if card is ega) OR 80x50 (if card is vga). My question: is it possible to "fool" the editor into thinking that the card …
Capacity of standard CD-R
Posted on 2023-07-08, 07:14
Hi. I have read that a "standard" CD-R is 650mb capacity, though it can go up to 700mb. There seems to be a lot of confusion since they made up the mib/kib/gib trash. I want to make sure Is the standard CD-R 681,574,400 bytes (650*1024*1024)___or___650,000,000 bytes (650*1000*1000)? preferably with …

Added a photo. @mwdmeyer, close to 20fps at 1024*768 using software mode or direct3D/openGL? Is seems unrealistic to me if you were using software mode, can you check that if you still have that hardware?

AFAIK, every mobile Intel CPU since Mobile Pentium III supports Speedstep. You can use a software utility to lower the CPU speed / voltage and reduce heat. I would think that is better than replacing the CPU. bakemono, thank you for advice. In this topic I am aiming at replacing my T7250 with lower …

Of course I gave up on P8400. Iı also was somehow an "upgrade", it's Penryn series instead of my T7250 Merom. But trying to find another cpu that could work, while having lower tdp. Now I am checking 3 websites for each cpu: cpu-upgrade, cpu-world, intel. Looking at https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/ …

Never really been into "modern" hardware modding etc, but this is too bad. I thought it would be easy to replace T7250(35W) with a lower power compatible(~25W). *demoralized*
