I have the IH4077D and it is one quirky little board. I have been able to get it to work with a DX2/66, but nothing faster and not a P24D, which stason lists as supported. It has also been cranky with different cache combinations, but eventually worked with 256kb. The IH4077D uses an EFAR chipset …

I stumbled across this thread and it got me thinking. I have a Cardex ET4000 W32/P from Ebay that uses a different type of socket. Is this the right memory? http://cgi.ebay.com/OKI-VRAM-Memory-Chip-M514260ASL-70J-/230566770606?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35aed9b7ae If you go onto their website, …

Mine took about three and a half weeks this past summer.

I was never able to find a way to keep cubic player from freezing the machine. I swapped in a 440BX motherboard, using the same cpu, ram and other hardware and the machine is no longer freezing. I guess I have another motherboard for the junk pile. Any thoughts on what happened? If we settle on a …

Elianda, Cubic Player freezes the system as well. Not sure what it means yet... I guess I need to pickup a new CPU and new motherboard to figure out which is causing the problem and take the trial and error approach.

Agreed on the LX, but the price was right (free). I used to have a different LX board long ago and it was garbage. I actually ebayed a BX board yesterday. Hopefully it will be here in time for the weekend.

HAL: I did not mention it, but when I first had the problem, I cleared the CMOS. This defaulted back to the spec setting of 233 Mhz. Yushatak: In doing the underlock, I stuck with the standard FSB of 66 Mhz. I only changed the multiplier from 3.5 (233 MHz) to 2 (133 Mhz). I specifically stuck with …

The underclock is not for Descent, but there are some games that seem to behave better with it. The bus speeds are kept at the standard 66 Mhz. The multiplier is reduced from 3.5 to 2. I guess its definitely possible, but I've not heard of any adverse side effects from underclocking. I will see what …

I need to pick the collective brain. After having a working retro PC for months, it has now decided that it is going to freeze when playing any sound effect. The hardware or setup has not changed. Period. The system is: Abit motherboard w/ Intel 440LX chipset (I forget the exact model) P2 233 …
