dose anyone feel as if this thread is redundant? with the "Retro Rig Photo Thread" and all?

I have tons of parts aside from these, but here are all of my rigs(some more retro than others).

Phenom IIx4 975 @3.8ghz R9 270, 8GB DDR2, Win7
Phenom IIx4 945, hd4850, 4gb DDR2, Win10
FX60, hd4870, 4gb DDR, Win7

Rise MP6, onboard video, 64mb PC100, DOS

What's your impression of the RiSE mp6? What speed?

It is a 266pr model which runs at 200mhz. Right now I have it running at 2.5x75 (188 MHz). This is in an old ibm aptiva system that has a straight dos install. The board supports up to a 75mhz bus. I' haven't run any benchmarks but I'd say at its current speed I would liken it to a p166 in games. It runs everything I throw at it with no issues but granted these are games that would run just as well on a lower clocked machine too. I definitely see a difference between the rise and a 200mmx for example, the latter being the clearly faster CPU. This board originally housed a k6-2 337 (yes a 337 not a 333) but it chose to use the mp6 for the uniqueness and the fact that the k6-2 would be too fast for earlier games.

I really want to find a Rise MP6, don't think they were ever sold here new in the UK though.

Me too... I was lucky to get one, happy to use it, foolish to try to downclock it via hardware mod and now I am terribly sorry I have killed it 😠 I think we should make a smile showing agony after killing a rare and awesome piece of hardware. I wouldn't that feel guilty killing some Volari videocard e.g. since you can't actually use it for much. But Libretto was my portable DOS gaming machine, something close to a PSP, but much cooler.

1) My tastes are very specific. You wouldn't understand.
2) Then induct me into them.

Wow those white PCBs are awesome! Don't see many of those anymore. Would be very interested in seeing your progress putting those in a plexiglass case. 😎

If you're after a white PCB sound card, I remember the Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 from magazines back in the day.

Here is a pic I took a few months back.

From left to right:

P233MMX - ASUS VX97 - S3 Trio64 + Voodoo2 - 64Mb ram
P4 3.2ghz - ASUS P4C800-E - 6800Ultra - 2Gb ram
Core2Q9550 - ASUS P5K-E - HD4850 - 8GB ram (I wouldn't go as far as saying LGA775 is "retro", but since I've replaced that machine by a newer rig, it's now a secondary PC.)

I remember some manufacturer once made a couple special s370 mobo's which had a black PCB (which would've been cool, but....) or a pink PCB! 😁
I think the black one was named "Black Pearl" and the other something with "Kiss" perhaps?

Actually, this doesn't sound that very far fetched 🤣

What model is that Antec case in the middle?

Antec VSK4000E from the looks of it (my main machine has it).

Well the white p4 motherboard is shorting somewhere and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. The last board I fixed is my Asus P5K64-WS (blown mosfet) and getting the right part took me a while - now I'm wrestling with a Soyo 019C 386 board with cache witch only works with some keyboard. As soon as I fix that one I'll get to the white one. I have yet to find a Plexiglas case in good condition and I'm kind of thinking of building one.

kanecvr- Check either the caps or the southbridge. If southbridge is hot,then it's dead.

If it's the caps,you'd have luck to be just the mosfets (and from what I've seen,some of these MOSFETS can be found on older boards).
And another thing you might want to check is if the CPU is good. I had the same happen to a Gigabyte GA-7VT600P+Athlon 2800 combo I bought. It turned out the CPU was kaput,but the board was fine.
