Theoretically to be on the safe side I should choose the max for the V1, which would be a P2 300 with 66 Mhz FSB and also has support for AGP. Or could I go for the higher CPU. (...) By the way is slot 1 already the SD RAM or still the EDO? Most of Slot 1 boards supports SDRAM. There are some early …

If you want to use PCI card look for `Fujitsu Siemens Futro S400`: https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/Futro/s400/ It has the same CPU and chipset as HP T5720 (tested by Phil) but it is IMO a better choice because: * Case is big enough to install one of these chinese GeForce FX5500 PCI * You can …

Onboard it has a 2MB ATI Mach64CT and the ATI VBE driver is not functioning, and UniVBE performance is terrible especially on Duke 3D (which I really wanna play in 800x600). I'm not sure if you'd be able to get decent frame rate (for today's standards) in 800x600 even if you change graphic card. …

If Wikipedia says that, then I'm wrong. :) But even early nF4xx are different than regular nF4 chipsets (like 4x, Ultra etc.). There's obviously a difference in feature set, but if you'll choose nF4xx, you won't be able to use tools to overclock HTT that works with regular nF4 boards (like Clockgen …

Thanks for all the suggestions. I just bought an ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2. It has GeForce 6100 NB nForce 410 MCP SB (which I'm guessing is nForce 4 ?) Nope, it's GeForce 6100, a newer chipset with iGPU. Wrong. It's both. The Geforce 6100 was the IGP of choice for the nForce4 chipsets that had an IGP, …

Actually I was thinking about AX8 (K8T890), because I was convinced that it is for s754. But it is s939 board. Sorry, my bad. I've fixed my previous post 😀.

Getting ready to test a load of CPUs in the new year, and realise I don't have a socket 754 motherboard, or even know what chipsets they used. What is the best chipset for overclocking them, and what skt 754 motherboards are good? Not overly concerned what slots they have, just want something that …

BIOS probably doesn't support Mobile Athlons. If you have another motherboard (preferably something with VIA KT400/600 or SiS 746/748, ASRock is a good choice for playing with mobile CPUs) then you can test your XP-M on it.

I did some research on overclocking Athlon XP and found out, that AMD started locking the multiplier at some point. Multiple sources stated that AMD started locking the multi in week 35 of 2003, but still sold CPUs with an open multi at this point. Starting with week 43, all CPUs had their multi …

In general though the KT333 is a bit marginal at 166 for CPUs, though it does fine for DDR. The KT400 is more like the 333A like the 266A revision of the 266 to fix it's bugs... though then they had to do a 400A revision that could actually cope at 200/400. ... I'd even prefer the KM400 boards over …

EDIT: IIRC, doesn't the M725 have the HT1869V+ sound chip? If so, don't be fooled by the "PCI" marking on yours, it isn't a 8738 like mine (in fact, mine is the real 8738 chip, not PCChips' rebadged Soundpro). Yours is an CMI8330 on the ISA bus.
