B&O compared to Trinitron is a little in the eye of the beholder. B&O MX7000 and 8000 is in my opinion just as good image wise as a good consumer Trinitron. The big difference is that the B&O MX series has really good sound! And I like how they look. ;) But ofc if we are talking professional …

No problem, happy to help out! With the Hama you need to select the active input each time. There are "smart" switches aswel but they need power and cost more if you want a good one. The problem with RGB on the B&O and also on some Sonys that Im facing is that the RGB signal is outside the CRTs …

Then the Hama will do you fine! :) You can also daisychain them if you need more inputs, abit annoying to select but it works if needed. Gaming on CRT can be a bit of a rabbit hole, I agree. Currently building a RGB horizontal sync shifter becouse on my Bang Olufsen some consoles has it's RGB …

Like above poster said, what you have is a passive splitter. It will just connect everything and that will cause interference and might even cause damage to the connected devices. Its fine if only one thing is connected. I would NOT use it u less you know one of the devices has some sort of input …

Scart pinout is different in Japan from Europe. Double check if the pinout is the same and tripple check that nothing has shorted.

I tested the program and it loads the soundfobts into the user banks. What I have been doing when changing the soundfont game by game basis is with the AWE64 program changing the general midi sound font. But is there a way of using these user banks instead?

If it works fine for a while then problem starts I would check for cracked solderjoints/reflow solderjoints and then check the capacitors. Even if the capacitors looks fine they can be marginal and needs to be replaced. If you got a i circuit capacitor tester that will help alot! CRTs can be quite …

Did some more OC, the furthest I can push this CPU seems to be 124fsb before I get disk read errors. So thats where I left it, 1300MHz 124fsb. Can post exact scores tomorrow but it was closer to 9000 in 3DMark01 if I remember correctly. I tested stability by first running Prime95 for ~8h, then CPU …

Did some quick tests just to compare cpus. Ran 3DMark2001 and Quake III. My old 850MHz 100fsb P3 got the results, 6280 and 74.5fps. Then I ran the tualatin 1133MHz 133fsb at 100fsb so it was clocked just under 850MHz, the result where 6927 and 90fps. Thats quite the increase! Thought that was …

The processors seems stable at 100fsb but as soon as I try to increase it the system starts to be a bit unstable. When opening folders I get knernel dll errors. Maybe these has something to do with the IDE SATA adapter Im using with the SSD. Still Im happy if I can run the processors at 100fsb. 😀
