So, how does a K6-2 fit into 430hx boards? I thought AMD invented the Super-7 for the K6-2? Do the K6-2 CPU's have some facility so that they can downgrade, if installed on a regular socket 7? The CPU socket on "regular" socket 7 boards and "super socket 7" boards are the same. As long as the BIOS …

No, the 430HX chipset does not support AGP nor does it support 100mhz FSB. It's not considered super socket 7 (like for instance the VIA MVP3 chipset is). Yes, any old ATX board will fit into a modern ATX case and you can use a modern power supply.

But you weren't me, there, looking at the brochure, no idea what MMX actually means (and that AMD are kinda better anyway) - so I MUST have an MMX CPU and, at the same time, I really feel like having SLI too. It's your build, go for it. I did the same thing, put SLI inside my Compaq even though it …

First off, welcome to VOGONS :) You actually crossed off the hardest thing on your parts list already, getting the Voodoo2's. You're right about the CPU, 200MMX isn't very well suited for Voodoo2 in SLI. It'll work ofc, but you won't get the full potential out of them. I used to have that setup in …

And what are the sources for those games? For M.I.A it's already on the debunked list for CGL (I've checked it out) and I only found Direct3D support which it also states on the backside of the box.

Did people actually play multiplayer on those games? My guess is that the servers were sitting mostly idle and it didn't make sense for them to keep them up. Yes, that is correct, EA said the amount of people playing were so low that it didn't make sense to keep the servers up. These would not have …
