hmm, isn't all Korg WaveBlaster boards, variants of Yamaha DB51XG, which is nothing more than highly integrated (almost everything put together in one big square chip) version of DB50XG? even several descriptions I found on the Internet state "KORG AI2 + YAMAHA DB51XG Daughterboard". Im not sure …

I think you should choose by not other peoples standards but by your own. Lots of recordings around if you dont want to actually get up and test them, like https://www.wavetable.nl/category/comparisons/ , http://www.amoretro.de/soundkarten-und-wavetable-recordings , and Youtube is chock full of MIDI …
Re: Matrox M3D / PCX2 opinions
Posted on 2023-03-06, 15:27
I have a Matrox M3D accelerator in my Aptiva with a 133 Cyrix. Like others said thats beginners mistake with PowerVR cards. They generally required a beefy FPU (even Kyro cards), while non-Intel collector CPUs like 6x86 and K6 were notable for having underpowered math coprocessing. I would even add …

The Athlon 500 CPU came from the Compaq Presario, however since I don't have any other slot A board I won't hang on to it either. The weird case on top of the desktop Compaq is actually a very odd system - some sort of 1990 terminal designed to send and receive Fax and Telex stuff. Everything is …

Don't jump to too quick conclusion Im just glad my mainboard booted at all. :) Seeing your posts with your numerous attempts at obtaining a working P3C-D board, i feared i had a paperweight in the Asus retail box that included a proper CPU terminator but not a Rambus one. I too came across …

I got the same board without any RAM and can confirm it runs with 2xRIMM und 1xCRIMM. The CTRIMM module is not required. Testing my retail boxed P3C-D board I can also confirm this. My observations: - It NEEDS a C-RIMM module in the 3rd slot nearest to the AGP port, it wont POST without it, or with …
Re: Chaintech 7KDD S462 Dually, Am I forced to connect a 6pin aux in order to get video from the AGP slot?
Posted on 2022-06-19, 13:09
Apparently it is standard 12v P4 plug ... but instead of feeding the CPUs, it's used for the GPU. You are probably right as the motherboard features a universal AGP Pro slot, and that theoretically could eat up 9.2 (4.17?) Amperes on the 12V rail . The processors have a nice and deprecated 6 pin …

I know this is an old post, but just in case someone with this motherboard finds this, I have the manual for this motherboard along with the drivers I used back when I ran mine. Thats great! Could you share it with us? There are 0711 (07/11/2002-AMD762-IT8712-DD6S7C0CC-00), 0715, and 1008 (10/08/ …
Re: So, like, does the K6 3+ 550mhz really exist?

At this point, these are purely a collectors item given the 570 2+ chips that are cheap, plentiful an unlockable. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=85071 Even before the mod was discovered, the 550ACR was a collectors item only. My 400ATZ (low voltage) can be overclocked to 550MHz if I …

Well if anyone was wondering the GT710 version is markedly smaller than the GT730. GT730 front side cooling fins phisically block a second card from fitting on the left(so its a 2 slot cooling solution), and the ones pouring over the card on the right make the sound card behind a tight fit. GT710 on …

Not to mention they dropped support for my friends 980Ti just months after he bought it for £500! XD That is impossible since the last 431.36 Windows 10 driver for the Maxwell chips is dated 2019.7.9 so its not even 2 weeks old. :confused: ------ AGP-PCIe chipsets where i would draw the line …

yep.. That's a wrap for anything 3dfx or midi, especially the mt-32 and sc-55. Too bad I already can't afford those things, but I'm sure a lot of the collectors among us will make some money. Story of my life. Sold off most of my 3dfx collection because i had far too many "junk" laying around. …

That's a mighty good point. I'll check dimensions of any card I may plan to place in there, both in relation to the CPU cooler and, if I go with PCI, with that one mobo connector. From the picture provided it looks like the chipset cooler wont be a problem since its cut down in 1 slot width, and …
