Is there a better utility for this? I tried System info that comes with Phil's benchmark tools but the info is more or less the same.

I can give you some tips on the software part, even though the card worked initially, there might be a conflict with newly installed software on your IBM. Try booting into MS-DOS Safe Mode and see if the card is detected there. This can help identify software conflicts which can give you a path to …

Re: Most reliable CF cards for system drive in 2024?
Posted on 2024-05-28, 13:48
I guess the answer is on how much will you use it. Casual use , any cf card. Heavy use , get a industrial grade. I bought a 8GB Transcend CF 220I for my Pentium 233 and another one for my K6-2+ systems. Good experience so far but I don't use them everyday so maybe It was overkill. Here are the specs …

Hi I have a k6-2+ and I'm thinking about getting a upgraded k6-2+ to k6-3+, but is EXPENSIVE +-150 USD if I count shipping costs and taxes. I have read that the performance gain is about 5 to 8% in videogames. How was it for you? can you detail some more about your processor upgrade experience? Its …

Posted on 2024-03-19, 13:06
Sorry for the necro I have the same thin client and I can confirm it works, the FM sound quality is OK and the SFX is good enough. Also VIAFMTSR.COM eats a lot of memory and some of the motherboard ROMs (i guess the bootmanager for LAN) eats a good chunk of upper memory leaving like only 45kb …

I have a HP mouse m150. Working without problems I even enabled the extra buttons using the intellimouse drivers 4.1.2 and selecting Intellimouse explorer as the mouse. The mouse is rated 5V 100ma , just as the PS/2 port, maybe we should look at mice that have the same power draw for compatibility. …

That is not adding ID string to the ini file. Just find the ID string in a newer driver that has the card there and copy/paste it to ini file of 45.23 driver. That way you can make it show up as correct card name in windows device manager. That is what I did with FX 5950 ultra. The 5900XT has the …

Note: Have you done a clean install of Win98SE as suggested in the guide? Also, are you by any chance using an "unofficial service pack"?

Hmm, i can check bios for L2 cache, but doubt that problem would be here. Are somewhere some CPU benchmarks Win98 test to compare, if cpu performance is ok? Update: I did some CPU Dos testing in my pure Dos benchmarks and pathb - giving me 27s i would say that is as expected.. Bios seems to be fine …
