A 32GB TNT2 M64 eh? 😅

No, of course, for such performance in SS7, I needed a R9800pro.

🤣 good spot, and I used to think my Radeon R9 had wasted VRAM...

You need a good setup and you're near Intel or better ...

Excellent, thanks for sharing - looks like I'm pretty much getting the most out of my chip then.

So this is not really the right place to ask this, but, it is related to a Socket 7 based system I just picked up with a Cyrix CPU - so better than starting a new thread?

The board in this system has both AT and ATX PSU headers. At present it's using its original AT PSU.

Were I to use an ATX power supply instead, how would it switch on? I'm assuming like modern ATX boards, it would have front panel headers that need to be shorted, but where does that leave the power button switch currently connected to the PSU? I don't mean to be lazy - the board appears to not have a manual online, and I've done some googling about how these dual AT/ATX boards tend to hook up to the power button, but it's one of those questions that yields irrelevant results from searches.

I guess I could replace the mechanism from the button with a standard box-shaped breaker and two wire circuit?

Thanks 😁

You also need to start with AT/ATX power. ATX with the Power spike, ATX with a starter and AT Power is turned on with power. There are some that can be selected with a jumper on the motherboard, some that automatically handle it.

That's great, thank you very much.
