I have seen those Socket7 ATX boards before. I believe there is even 486 ATX boards out there.

When it comes to retro gaming/PC building, nostalgia is the driving factor. People who grew up with such systems (like me) are now in their 30's. And since they are still cheap and plentiful, they will often be coming up for years to come. While I didn't have a s478 system myself (went from S462 to …

What is the deal with all that Socket 478 and Socket-A lately? Are this becomming the "new black"? When it comes to retro gaming/PC building, nostalgia is the driving factor. People who grew up with such systems (like me) are now in their 30's. And since they are still cheap and plentiful, they …

For XP on up, ISA really is irrelevant so all these are primarily for pre-XP builds. I know.... Been into computers and used computers since around mid-80's. Have seen things evolve and all that jazz. I only stopped following the newest new hardware around 2008 and went full Linux on daily driver …

What is the deal with all that Socket 478 and Socket-A lately? Are this becomming the "new black"? It's just their time. Think that people used to be teens back then (early 2000s), are now in their late 30s, approaching middle age, have good jobs, but also are nostalgic about when they where young. …

What is the deal with all that Socket 478 and Socket-A lately? Are this becomming the "new black"? Don´t know, but eventually having 32bit PCI and sometimes even ISA slots might be desirable for retro-computing, without falling into virtualization. With the prices of good Socket 7 boards, this …

Posting from my HP Prodesk 600 G3 MT machine, with Radeon RX550, running the Linux distro called Ubunty Mate 22.04 and I had Minecraft Demo version running just to test it out. Running smooth. Regarding issues with Linux and Radeon, then I see absolutely nothing at all. Works fully out of the box, …

I just need office/productivity/web-surfing/mail/home-banking use and then as a tool for my other vintage stuff. With the CPU it has, then it is onboard Intel 610 or something. But only display port output. I would prefer DVI or HDMI as that is what my monitor takes. For gaming it would be …

And that's exactly what I gave you. Intel's low-end passive discrete Arc GPU is designed specifically for systems like yours and if you need a bit more GPU power, the 1050 and 1050 TI are certainly options for you. Every single one of the 1050's that I have come across, need extra power plug. The …

A compact, slot-powered GeForce 1050 will be the best you can do from Nvidia's offerings, unless you want to try one of the new Intel Arc GPUs, which do well on Linux. AMD cards aren't great on Linux, cause they gutted their driver team years ago and have only now begun rebuilding in the past few …

How much performance do you need and what's your budget? GeForce 1650 is the fastest option I think. But not the cheapest. Which CPU's do the 600 G3 machines have? Also take a potential bottleneck into consideration. I just need office/productivity/web-surfing/mail/home-banking use and then as a …

What is the Radeon RX 550 equivelant to, when it comes to nVidia cards? I have not followed modern tech the last 15 years.
