I am jealous you have the LS120. I do have the model with the 1024z768 screen. I have been curious if it's even possible to piggyback extra ram onto the gpu from that series of card. Yeah I don't have the official dvd drive for it. I made one fit though. If you're interested i can take some …

I have two of these for a long time, one is a spare. This was my laptop from 2001 till 2010. The Armada uses a BX chipset with the MMC-2 CPU form factor. A long time ago I upgraded it to a Pentium 3 600, which runs at 500 and you have to enable the L2 cache with cpumsr, It's max is 320mb ram, (but …

Looking forward to this, I have an old Dell System 486P that only accepts 5v. This'll let me use a 3.3 dx4 100 when it's done?

I've been looking for one of these too. I have an old Dell System 486P, It'll only take 5v cpu's, has a dx 66 in it, but want to put my 100mhz dx4 in. I'm in the UK which is even harder to find these.

A quick update. I set some extra jumpers on the disk, this didnt change anything so i took the two back off and left the original one as it was. I can see the disk in norton disk edit, I cannot write to the disk though I see 00 00 00 01 for all the sectors. I get Write failure. Norton disk doctor …

I remember to have had a similar problem with a MFM disk. If I remember right, the solution was to use another controller... Did you connect all cables in the correct direction? I am very happy with speedstor for testing http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/software/speedstor.htm But at the end it does …

The drive does no actions, i put my finger very very lightly on the drive head motor underneath and there is no movement, i also hear nothing internally. You cannot hear the drive spinning ? Do you have the control cable on J4 ? That is for C: drive. For C/H/S 615/4/17 sounds correct for using it …

Hi, I've dug out an old Super I/O card, It is an ISA card, with no manufacturer markings, or anything of the sort. I cannot find anything but the datasheet.. and i am not technically minded enough to understand it to know what jumpers are which. And any sort of manuals i have found are for the …

Seems to be quite simple, that board does not have support for 3V CPUs. So to run that cpu you need a voltage adapter socket in between. But - what is also possible - that Cyrix CPUs won't work at all because of the BIOS. Since you have now a SX-25, your external clock rate is now 25MHz. https:// …

I have a dell System 486p. It has the latest bios A12. It was given to me in a different case. Howver the board works completely fine, but there is litterally -nothing- about this system in anything but magazines. I've managed to find SOME old dell drivers, but that's about it, no idea if there is …

Know that having a SLI setup doesn't mean there's more texture memory to work with. It's more about the extra bit of framebuffer with more lines it can draw. Sometimes it can be slower with some games that have to read/write to the framebuffer of both cards (i.e. many later D3D games) (little OT, …

Hello! I hope this is in the right area. I finally got my SLI setup working via cards my friend gave to me. The default drivers would crash when trying to via the control panel with both cards and were not slectable accelerators. They cards work fine on there own though. I fixed this is by using …
