I love those old build thread of yours. Any new updates soon? I actually thought about you the other day, that …

One of several complete PCs I picked up from a recycler last month. Been going through them one by one. Paid $15 for this one. No idea what was inside. Lian Li PC-v1100, missing one side panel sadly and with a big dent on the top, someone took their time on this build though, very meticulously …

I do have 2 of those boards, both Rev 5.2, so I’ll try that next. The fact that we can even run these chips on these boards is amazing in itself. Getting over 60 fps in software mode Quake is sweet stuff. I cannot seem to find the right combination of jumpers + switches on this board. All the …

I swapped to my AOpen AX59Pro and had some much better results, although for whatever reason I had to pump a lot more voltage into the chip to get it stable than when using the Asus P5A 1.06 board. I am not comfortable running it with this voltage for any length of time. Processor: Intel Pentium 266 …

I recently tested some MBs with Tillamook and found there are significant performace differences between various chipset, here's my table: http://rayer.g6.cz/hardware/tillamok.htm#CPU_TEST_TABLE E.g. some MBs with SDRAM performed worse than with FPM DIMM, some run slower at non-standard FSB over …

That did cross my mind as well. I do have at least 6 or 7 SS7 boards to try and will certainly do so. Just curious as this was my first tested board and feel like it’s optimized as best as can be. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still pretty awesome getting this performance out of this chip, but something …

Greetings all- Hope this isn't too much of a necro but... I finally had a chance to test my modded Tillamook 266Mhz and had some success I wanted to share. I've been able to run the board at 266Mhz, 300Mhz, 350Mhz and now 400Mhz now that I found the correct jumper config for the 4x multiplier on …

Hi krysp, No, the Iwill XA100 board can’t use the XA100 Plus BIOS. It needs the version 32210A or 32210B BIOS. These BIOSes already have full K6-2CXT/K6-III support, so you only need a patched BIOS for a K6-2+/III+ CPU. The patched XA100 BIOS is now ready and tested and here is a copy: XA100_J1.zip …

Decided to move my test bench upstairs to my office from the basement, where it's much more comfy. :) Drilled a gromet into my desk for routing cables to my under-desk-mounted power strip. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q70/923/kQnJlT.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q70/ …
