May have been using an interposer to allow for socket7 on socket5. I think such a non-Intel dual socket 5/7 example would need to have some proprietary SMP controller, like those found in those dual 486 type boards. Everything I’ve read seems to point to exactly this. I think they used the …

VIA K8T890 or K8T900 with VT8237 south bridge. Maybe VT8251 also would suit the bill, not sure. dionb mentioned ULi chipsets not so long ago in similar thread, maybe they also had support, although I doubt it. Keep in mind, that you're stuck with PATA, if you choose VIA mobo without VT8237 A south …

Asus must have done one with a Promise controller, they work great with win 9x.

How about the ATi Xpress 200 (RS482) or VIA K8M890 chipsets? Currently in talks for buying an MSI K9VGM-V with an Athlon64 3800+ for the purpose..

How about the ATi Xpress 200 (RS482) ATi Xpress 200 mobos had ATi or ULi south bridge. As I said, maybe ULi SB had Win9x support. VIA K8M890 Same stuff as above, just with IGP. Currently in talks for buying an MSI K9VGM-V VT8237A. Should work fine with Win9x and SATAII+ SSD/HDD.

So I'm having an issue. New monitor has two DP and one HDMI. I have one DP machinr, two HDMI machines. XP machine with 8800Gt was working great, but no DP only DVI to HDMI. And apparently DVI to DP is not a thing. So I grab a spare 5770. It doesn't work. CD drive keeps seeking over and over. I go …

I have the chance to buy this CPU for a good price but the seller doesn't have a mainboard to test it, I don't have one either. How reliable are these? I know it's impossible to tell but I know that socket 462 Athlons are very sensitive to cooling failures, one second without a cooler with an Athlon …

Should be fine. The motherboards are harder to get working though....

If you damage these, something really went wrong. Struck by lightning, power surge, exploded power supply, extraordinary temperatures, et cetera... The voltage/multiplier couldn't be set higher without a GFD, which required opening the CPU package. Do you have some 50mm fans laying around? :) Oh and …

If you damage these, something really went wrong. Struck by lightning, power surge, exploded power supply, extraordinary temperatures, et cetera... Nothing to test it with so that will have to wait.

Congrats! Welcome to the club. Now on to fetch a nice board. I'm working on a tormented Abit KA7; about 30 caps blown, missing heatsink, missing SMD capacitors, few bend pins IN the slot (for crying out loud)....

Very nice. I really hope you can find a good slot A board. Slot A is fun to play with.
