what a talk over here, and go so upset. glide is over, 3dfx is dead, and there is nothing wrong with opengl. microshaft won the thing with their laggy shitty direct nonsense. if you can take opengl or minigl or native glide take whatever is most flexible graphics and performance wise. as even the …

it takes ram to load its bios in, and you would be loading extra drivers that take up space too.

Yes it would work, but i would move the cd (because it is a read only device) on the cf ide cable and the hdd on the pci ide add on card (maybe even speeds thing up when changing the hdd sometime). Otherwise you would have to make sure that when you jumper your device to pin 1 and 2 master mode that …

no need for drivers, just do not use a too big of a CF card, it will be detected as a normal hdd without any cache ram. You can plug in CF, detect in bios and ready to boot. You will have to make an active partition though, and if you need to use a multi partition, you will need to change the CF …

I have the same CD-ROM. Might wanna replace it at some point. It is noisy as hell. 8x CD is enough for 486 right? 52x jet engine is overkill, the 486 does not ask for so much data anyway. I love Quantum, because i believe most of the time outperformed any seagate / western digital. and i love …

Sure the SB IDE port has different ATA setting (IRQ wise) and you could easily use it for the CD drive data. if you can still use the SB port without conflicting with any other irq (is the SB a shitty PNP?) Maybe the cddrive it wil turn out a tiny bit slower than any other pci ide interface with …

To my beliefs you need to run this card on a single ATA cable without hdd or CDdrive attached, as this card uses both master and slave data from the cable when using the both the CF slots that is. One CF card will turn the master and the other slave and vice versa when you jumper it around, you can …

Pingaloka, your at case looks realy awesome. Also a great motherbord you have there :-) which bios does it run? The dual CF-IDE interface is a great find, however i believe CF cards can act up in slave vs master mode on one ide channel, personally i would have loved to try an scsi or ide zip drive …

tayyare you should use the 3.3v selection for your ram, or you risk unneeded burnout of your sdram the 5v is used for when used simm edo or fpm. some sdram can handle up to 5v if you need it to mixing up with simms, some texas instruments ram if i recall correct. look at the ram chips datasheets.

So no Voltage regulation is needed to the FSB levels? only vcore at 1,45? instead of 1.65v? The tualatin could it run at 1.65v with good heatsink? and what about overclocking the tualatin core, what would be reachable?

I am looking to have my tualitins into my dual coppermine board, but that wiremod does not change any vio does it? I thought the GTL bus was using lower voltage levels on the tualatin, and thus a real converter with power regulation is needed to not overload the chipset levels and risk any early …

Patina?? Isnt any 486 PCI board or pentium capable of 64mb sticks? I know tat tinned contacts oxidize and can cause memory errors, and gold contacts are better, but tin to gold does not bite each other.
