Hi! I'm trying to install this sound card https://www.ebay.com/p/1900462945 in an LGA775 motherboard with Intel 865 chipset. Does this card even support Windows 98? And is it possible to get its drivers? I did download something online for this: yamaha_dsxg_driver.exe. But installing it did not help …

IIRC it was only the VIVO versions that could be unlocked, so if yours doesnt have Video in Video Out then it cant be unlocked. Aha that sounds like good news.. Seems like the model I have is unlocked: https://www.vgastore.com/2022158/ati-102a4751100-radeon-x850pro-256mb-256-bit-gddr3-agp-4x-8x- …

Sometimes they are disabled because they aren’t good but often times they are unlockable. Try a bios flash and see. I forget the steps but used to do it often back in the day. A couple of doubts: do you know of a way to check if the gfx card is disabled or if it's unlockable? Secondly, could you …

Hi all, I recently got a Radeon X850 Pro AGP card to put in a Windows 98 system. I've heard that it has 12 pixel pipelines unlocked, but apparently in some cases 16 pipelines can be unlocked too, by flashing some ROM or something. The part number of my card is 102A4751100. I have a friend who has …

One more super noob question - if a motherboard has AMI bios, is it possible to change it to award bios with the energy star thing? Can I overwrite the BIOS with another? I tried googling for this, but didn't find a direct answer (or I am bad at googling).

Actually... the switch was finally done for good around 1156/1155. I have had early 1155 boards (Gigabyte Z68P-DS3 rev1) that had the classic Phoenix-AwardBIOS. It was only by around 3rd or 4th gen they finally switched into UEFI AMIBIOS (IIRC AMI is the only to make UEFI BIOS (if you don't count …

Hello and welcome! Can't give you a full list of them either, but the Award BIOS is quite common with Socket 7, Slot 1 and Socket 370 motherboards. You will preferably want one that is from the Coppermine/Tualatin (Pentium III) era that has the AGP slot for such cards. Thanks! But then will those …

So my first post here and it's admittedly super silly. I'm looking to build a PC that can run Win98 without much hassle, and I want to put a fancy GFX card in it for super high 3dMarks (like GeForce 4 Ti 4600 or Radeon X850). The catch: I'm a huge sucker for nostalgia and the PC I had as a kid - had …
