The 83Mhz FSB is maybe unstable. It 's related to the PCI card you are using. For max. Celeron speed i would propose one of these 2 settings: Celeron 433 Mhz: overcolocked @83Mhz (if all is stable) . = 539Mhz. Celeron 466 Mhz: overcolocked @75Mhz (if all is stable) . = 525Mhz. The 500Mhz version …

Wow! Great news. Well. It's only working with sound FM + sound FX. When i try to use the general midi, i have no music, but the FX. This is with the PCI register method by Kamerat. Loading the ESSOLO.COM file, i have anytime the message "TDMA". Now with DOOM: There is no FX, but music only (either …

Well, i guess that you are using not the same chipset and a pentium2/3 based chipset, or non-intelt based? You are using the ESSOLO.COM initialization. With this routine, i do not getting PCPCI working. But with the useful batch file from Kamerat, https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=24769& …

In general I recommend refurbishing older power supplies of good quality instead of buying new >700W monsters to use in retro PCs. The learning curve is not very steep, if you have basic soldering experience it will be very easy to work with single sided PCBs. I agree with you. Since it have ( …

Re: "Fake AGP" slots?
Posted on 2022-12-03, 11:12
MSI made AGR, but that is a hack of AGP on PCIE. emulated AGP via PCIe - seems only MSI made those, unless you mean "they all cut PCIE down to x4 to use some of the lines for AGP"? It's confirmed that AGP Express at the very least uses undercover PCI trick. Some time ago, i have benchmarked the " …

Posted on 2022-10-07, 19:01
it's 3.0 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 84W CPU based on the Prescott architecture. Will there be any significant difference in performance between this and Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, 800 FSB based on Northwood architecture? Who's faster? No, it's not really significant. 3dmark2001: P4 3.0E (Prescott) is 2.7% faster …

No. The mapping is hardcoded. So5 has a single pin/bit (BF0) to switch between 1.5x and 2.0x, So7 has two (BF0 and BF1) to switch between those two and 2.5x and 3.0x as well. In P55C (Pentium MMX) the 1.5x is remapped to 3.5x. https://www.pchardwarelinks.com/cpuspeed.htm Here in these charts, …
