Hello, I am in need of a little advice. I have a Fujitsu Celsius R610 with a single 2.4GHz Xeon CPU (533 MHz FSB). I have 4 original JMC Phoenix 60 coolers which are compatible. The max it takes are two 3.2GHz Xeons and I am willing to upgrade it to that. I was reading its motherboard manual and it …

UPDATE: For anyone actually willing to do this, well, I suggest you don't. I flashed the card and bricked it. Wasn't too worried because I happen to have many other workstations and PCI graphics cards laying around but if you only have one system, make sure it allows you to switch the GPU from PCIe …

Hello :) I recently got an HP xw4600 with a Core 2 Extreme, 8GB of RAM, and a Quadro FX 4600. I've read that this card's GeForce equivalent is an 8800. I've looked up both cards and there seems to be a significant difference between the clock speeds of the Quadro FX 4600 and 8800. Physically, the …

I performed the manual ejection procedure and the tape was still getting stuck, so a third of the cartridge was basically sticking out with no way to eject the darn thing. I hooked up the drive and it kept spitting a third of the cartridge out then sucking it back in. Frustrated, I tried to manually …

Hello, I have a Fujitsu Siemens Primergy F200. This machine was not POSTing, thanks to some 13 failing capacitors on the motherboard. I have replaced them and it's working now. All of a sudden, one of its PSUs won't work. I turn it on, powers on for a split-second then turns back off, like there's …

The push button on the right of the rgb input, it's de-pressed right? What 1084 monitor is this? edit: I see now that you need 75ohm resistors in the RGB and SYNC lines , if you open your cable's DB9 shell can you see resistors inside? Thanks for your reply, the monitor is a Commodore 1084S-D2, to …

Hello, I am currently having a problem with my ZX Spectrum. This particular monitor has an RGB connection at the back (pictured below), and I'm trying to connect the Spectrum to it using some sort of adaptor that came with the Spectrum itself (also pictured below). When I connect the Spectrum to the …

What's the other cassette (besides the obviously pirated version of Bomb Jack) holding? There's a website called World of Spectrum that holds a crapton of games that can be legally downloaded. The owners of the website ask the creators of the games (or the companies that now own the creators) for …

Thanks to all of you for the replies! It is illegal to rummage through the trash at dump, without a permit, that is. But I had a permit at the time, so I'm safe! 😁

Is that Bomb Jack? Yes, it is :) Interesting. What country do you live in? Let me guess, it doesn't rank too highly on the Index of Economic Freedom. Malta. This one hasn't seen much use... nice find :D It'd been sitting in the box for quite some time, in fact, the plastic has reacted with the …

I was just thinking, why not test it in a Win95 and a Win98 installation. It might identify the card, or give a device id on wich you can search for more information. That's what I will be doing. Thanks for the advice :) Your card looks like this one: http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/cards/item/ …

Hello, can someone please help me identify this card? There's "VIDEO CAPTURE" written on the back-plate. I've taken pictures of the card. Close-ups of main chips are included. I have no idea if it works or not. I do not know how to use it. Cheers. Link to gallery: https://postimg.org/gallery/ …
