this motherboard looks exactly like one I have (with a 166MMX), there is no clear indication of brand, but I think it's form PC CHips/ECS... anyway, mine have the Intel 430VX, not "VX pro"!? but Mitac? I think I have one socket 7 MB from this company, with the VIA MVP4 chipset

I'm sorry, my bad, this is the correct link of the rankings http://hwbot.org/benchmark/superpi/rankings?hardwareTypeId=processor_1457#start=0#interval=20 . Many of them seem to be using stock clock speeds on these processors. Even so i'm not really sure if my SuperPi times are correct for the cpu …

The QS5244 is a buffer/driver with very low skew and very strong outputs. It is used to buffer important high speed signals like clocks around the board. Based on GENDAC datasheets and card pictures the memory clock output is buffered and that line has the extra resistor attached, most likely to …

I've owned both these Voodoo 2 8MB for a long time, my older card is working well, I can even OC it a little bit, the only major problem is overheating (if it overheats the image will fail, textures will have wrong colors and other issues, but, with a fan near the card it works stable "forever", …

just keep in mind this card is AGP 2x, (3.3V), and most "newer" boards are AGP4x or higher with 1.5v, so you can have problems with that.

OK, thanks for the help, but I think my card is defective, I tested a network card on the same slot and it worked 100%, so I need a "new" card, from the options I found for a reasonable price, which one is more interesting? Ct3620 (sound blaster 32) Ct2980 (vibra 16?) 50% more expensive: CT2230 ( …

to be honest I'm pretty new when it comes to old sound cards, my first sound "card" was already integrated on the motherboard in 95 or 94, after that I had a few PCI cards, so I'm struggling a little with the ISA card I have at the moment was the Aztech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 any decent? also is there …

Pentium II 400 Asus P2B 96MB PC100 cas 3 Win98SE I used to overclock this CPU to 498MHz without a problem, but I lost all my PC133 ram, and I just can't achieve the same OC with the current ram 🙁

For V2's, if you can find them, you want the Tennmax Stealth V2 coolers. I have a bunch of V2's and they really can get hot - but I never managed to overheat them to such degree that a cooler was needed though. Are these really there for cooling purpose, or just standing there as modding eye-candy? …
