Yeah, very clean job .. too clean one might say. Looking at other 1.2a boards they all have two Cache chips .. so an exceptional job in removing …

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well :) Not bad :) I did a quick search and my conclusion is that L2 + TAG were desoldered. Pics have either 1 or 2 L2 chips installed (512 or 1MB). Odd but not uncommon solution if it was used for spares at some point. Unless I'm utterly wrong :) No L2 should …

I have XP running on a i7-4790k and H97 motherboard. It works great. I'm my opinion, the 90-series boards are the last to offer nearly universal compatibility with XP. I can't speak for Snappy, but the 70-series INF detects almost all of the devices on my board except the Intel USB 3.0 controller …

What I thought was going to pickup was a 19 inch Viewsonic CRT monitor (my dream), turned out to be a 22 inch!!!!! If I am reading the manual correctly, this thing can do 2048 x 1536 @ 60 Hz. Now I am going to feel like John Carmack when he was coding Quake!! LOL IMG_5013.jpg How heavy is that? …

hmm very interesting, so... for chances of better comaptability... i would assume then going to an 1155 socket board is going to be a better option? it seems like a "higher end" board that could produce a faster speed for gaming would be resulted from an 1155 over a 2011..? dumb questions but are …

I just use an IDE to Sata adapter, found it on Amazon for pretty cheap. If you are installing Windows 98 make sure the ssd you use is 128gb or less. please can you show me that adapter? all the adapters I found are exactly the inverse, for connecting IDE drives to SATA motherboards https://www. …

Very nice! I love this board, it was my first proper PC upgrade that I did, also with a K6-2 500. I bought myself a brand spanking new GA-5AA 3.2 last year :D Very nice!. A brand new one must have cost a fortune. Very lucky to get that. I own the ATX version of this board the GA 5AX Rev 5.2 …

IIRC the high end Haswell chipsets dont support XP, the low end ones (H81) are more likely to have XP support even unofficially due to using some previous gen components and generally having less integration. There are people who have had some success in running XP on H81 boards so you may want to …

Are there any other drivers for it in the STB archive ? like DOS and VGA utils ?

If you need photos of the ISA video cards, with WD chips, I have two on the bench, I use one for those PCs that don't show anything on the screen using the PCI, while with ISA there is the BIOS screen, the other is waiting for the end of the work, I have some 486 ISA, which sooner or later I will …

Nice to see a PAS, as a kid I was intrigued by the number of components on these cards. High quality cards. Back in the day it was MediaVision vs Creative like 3dfx vs nVidia. Necroware has a great little video on these cards https://youtu.be/_7P8anriPbA?si=5cHoEn0SUvkzThQE I was watching that …
