Re: Iwill KK266+ (KT133A) with Mobile Athlon 4

But I did try an exotic mobile Duron, DHM0950AQS1B. This didn´t work in other two socket A boards of mine, didn´t work on this Iwill either. I suspect it is in non working condition though, it is a little"biten" on its die lower-right corner: https://i.ibb.co/xqC8phv/DHM0950-AQS1-B.jpg that's a …

While it's kind of unfortunate that it doesn't run anything faster than about 1600mhz, do we really need it to? (Of course!) To me this board is meant to be an alternative to Pentium 3 systems, which I can do perfectly with the mobile XP chip since it incorporates SSE and can clock down to 550 or up …

I've got spare BIOS for my Iwill KK266+ now. I may try this out. I posted about it here and didn't get any bites. I will follow up in that thread if I do.

My USB was kind of slow and NIC was giving me fits until I installed the VIA PCI Latency Patch.

Not to mention 3DMark99 is pre DirectX 7, so likely quite a few features of a newer card such as basically any GeForce will be completely wasted or untested. Unless you're testing against Voodoo-cards, the score won't really mean much. Voodoo3 and TNT2 were hardware DX6, I think. GeForce and …

The damage isn't to the pin area or tabs. Its like something hot was laid against it like a soldering iron. I have about half a dozen or more socket As laying around of all varieties; pretty sure I already F'd up one 1700 messing with unlocking before just buying my mobile chip for $6. I haven't …

So if one was to play the old Mac games, I assume emulation isn't as optimal as real hardware which probably has a much higher cost than PC. I've never been into apple stuff, but do recall finding my ex brother in laws Mac compelling back in the mid 90s. I have no idea what it was beside some …

I believe these boards could be setup with a "turbo" button. The jumper for the FSB selection could be tied to a switch. It doesn't work while the system is running but could be handy upon reboot if you want to drop the speed without cracking open the case. I'm not sure if dropping to 550~mhz is …

I must have miscounted. I certainly didn't leave any of the hermei of the bigger size on it. Only a few looked ok but I didn't chance it. All the little ones appeared fine.

Have you took off any of the smaller ones and tested? Only my larger ones were bulging or crusty.

I wasn't sure about the PX. I only used them in the 1000uf spots. I figured they are probably better than the Hermei caps were when new anyways. I assumed a general purpose quality cap is bound to be better than a specialized generic cap; similar thinking to power supplies. I definitely need better …

stanwebber, the caps on my board looked the same as yours. I replaced all the larger ones with Rubycon ZLJ, ZLH or PX. Fingers crossed that the next 2 boards, that I should receive Saturday, look better.

Voodoo 3s tend to show BIOS at post too. Personally, I would suggest a Platinum "Plus" build.... More RAM and HDD space specifically.

I got the same thing currently, stanwebber. You're right as this board doesn't present many IRQs. I think that's an APIC thing, that this board doesn't support but I'm no expert. The manual has this on irqs PCI1 IRQ PCI1/5 IRQ PCI2/6 IRQ PCI3 Onboard Sound IRQ PCI4 Onboard RAID IRQ
