the psu is atx as is motherboard (qdi legend v). its a custom build with the pentium II, the pc i took the psu out off was a basic oem for internet. the pentium II board is mint condition, all as good as new. I have tested the 145w psu and it seems to power everything ok with no instability.

Skywell Technology Magic 3D II. Very common card, also sold by other companies under their own brand names. WOW,,thanks for the quick response, i have looked around but couldnt find other cards with matching M3D II in the location.. So i have an A-trend and now know a skywell, i had been using …

Hi, I need help to identify this voodoo 2 cards brand as i thought it was a monster 3d 2 but it has no diamond logos that are usually present.

The pc i got it from looked barely used, no dust at all, like new. psu has no dust in and all components are like mint condition (strange for its age and from a market for £3). The model is :FSP145-60PNA(PF) . i live in the uk.

Hi , iv just took a psu out of an old packard bell for use on my retro build but im unsure if its upto the job. the original pc is a plain basic 800mhz celeron, a hdd, a fdd and 2 optical drives, everything onboard integrated. The psu is an FSP GROUP rated 145w, 3.3v@12A, 5v@18A and 12v@4.2A The pc …

i wont order overseas due to postage costs. i also have a k6-2 500@550mhz on an acer ali aladdin V board with 256mb pc100 i have recently rebuilt, running with a creative 3d blaster TNT PCI and a diamond monster 3d2. as for sound cards im stuck with aload of sb 128 pci cards. i have been tempted to …

I will take the hdd corruption issue into acount, but i will most likely keep the cpu at 233mhz if i have any issue at 290mhz which does give it quite a boost in games. Iv not heared of a 440bx having hdd issues at its standard 100mhz, most are good for 142mhz fsb if you use pc133. I know where to …

I wonder, is it stable at 290MHz? I think it would be a great way to take advantage of the extra voltage that's being fed to your CPU. it certaintly is stable at 290mhz :D i may have to fit a heatsink to the northbridge though as it gets quite warm with the fsb at 85mhz. i would be better to use …

Not in the UK? Man your eBay market is one of the best. Just got to look and be patient. The other option is getting a complete PIII PC. They are also very cheap, often can be picked up locally for free. http://dsa.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2043520.m570.l1313.TR10.TRC0.A0.Xslot+1+motherboard&_ …

I'd run it at 300mhz. 440LX is so limited... If you really wanted to keep with the "period" you would fall back to late97-mid98 hardware, which brings a huge mixed bag of host video cards.... Riva128, Rage Pro Turbo, Mystique etc. and the Voodoo2 :) Unfortunatly the board limits me to 66/68/75/ …

As long as it's stable and it can pass a stress test like Prime95, it should be fine. I'd watch how hot it runs though, just to make sure. i have run prime95 on it and was solid stable, the heatsink is cool to touch. i was just worried incase it may burnout the cpu, thanks for the reasurance. id …

hi all :D i have a pentium 2 350mhz 100fsb, the board i have is a 440lx chipset for 66mhz fsb only, when cpu is installed it runs at 233mhz (can oc to a max of 290mhz@85fsb but will kept it at 233mhz). The thing that is on my mind is will this run ok/safe with the cpu needing a lower voltage to the …
