1.) Ok, as you have already enough w98 alternatives ready, you don't need any boards with ISA slot. So you can exclude the slowest board with KT133A chipset. 2.) Regarding the power supply, i would advise you to use PSU's with at least 30A or higher on the 5V rail. Do not underestimate the power …
Re: Are K6-iii chips obtainable?
Posted on Yesterday, 01:19
That's the reason why i am still using a K6-2 500. The 2+ and iii(+) prices are way too high compared what i've paid for my K6-2 or my athlon thunderbird. The thunderbird i can clock @550, 600, 650 ... and further on. I think, i've paid 3€ - 4€ for the thunderbird.

It depends... Does the MSI K7T Turbo2 have an ISA slot populated? On google search i see versions with or without ISA. So in case it's there and you want also a good DOS compatible PC then i would take this board. If you have an Athlon with 133Mhz or 166Mhz FSB, then i would go for the other KT333 …

Thanks for your values , Soap :-) It gives me a good comparison to my Celeron and additionally the information how much bottleneck'ed my GF3-Ti200 is (compared to your combination , either PIII-S1400 or Cel1300 with GF2GTS) My values: Celeron 1000A (@1000Mhz) - GF3 Ti200 - 3DMARK 99 : 7111 , CPU …

These 8 silver, really big capacitors on the Geforce 2 GTS... Do you if they are original or they have been replaced the last years ? They are looking little strange...

Yes, thank you Joseph_Joestar, now it works perfecly. With 75% throttle & L1D , i'll get the doom speed of 386DX-40. The values of 3Dbench and PCPbench are even slower than real 386DX-40.

I thought that there is an option in the bios to deactivate the L1/L2 cache, but setting is not available. My MPV3 board has this option. So i've tried the throttle tool , many thanks to 'Joseph_Joestar'. Actually i cannot reach 386 speed with the thottle of 93%. Doom at minimum settings: 30 fps. …

Have removed the NB-fan. It was really noisy compared to the other new silent fan. I want it relatively silent, even when this was not the approach back in the day.

I've forgot to mention that Win 98 SE 2nd edition is installed. A second PCI soundcard is added, to use it mainly under win98 environment. Have found a matching sticker to the front cover.
Re: Pentium 75MHz FB / BUS / VID settings: Help needed
Posted on 2021-05-29, 12:16
Yes , this is the correct setting at pentium P54C 90Mhz. You can set the vcore to 3.3 , 3.4 or 3.5 volt. I would start with 3.3V and then have a look if everything is stable. Also take care to the cooling. EDIT: Anyway, you can try different speed levels with L1 and /or L2 cache disable setting.

Other option (if I can not set the exact settings for 75MHZ frequency / 50MHz BUS), would be to maybe down-clock it to a 60 / 66MHz speeds? 60 / 66MHz speeds means overclocking , not downclocking. This super socket 7 board is quite new compared the "old" pentium 75. Yes, socket 7 boards are …

The cpu i have chosen: a thunderbird 1200Mhz with "closed" L2 bridges for a unlock multiplier - to be max. flexible. At some positions, i have already replaced some bad capacitors. (I know... it would be better to change them all. May i have some time before the next capacitor will come.) …

Very nice system! I would like to know the difference between SD vs. DDR ram inside a PIII system also. Did you run any benchmarks already? Would be nice if you could perform some 3D benchmarks, e.g. 3Dmark99 and 3Dmark2000. Edit: Does anybody know, how it depends about FSB overclocking and …
