Sadly both my Athlon XP builds are now without power supply, the last one that i had i tried to recap and check the passive components on the low voltage part, but it's still not functional. So i need a power supply with a strong enough 5V, i have a Athlon XP 2800+(AXDA2800DKV4D), for a bare minimum …

Most of power circuitry that i have seen using linear regulation also uses transformers, they don't simply pass 120VAC on a full bridge rectifier, filter caps and then a linear regulator, they have a transformer and optionally a regulator. if you have a 120-12v transformer and then full bridge …

Most of the time i renjoy building the rigs, installing and setting it up, i play old games just little, there is a handful of old 9x games that i enjoy playing. I have built a Socket 775 Pentium 4 prescott to run windows 98, i think it is a little bit on overkill, cause by the time that those parts …

Cool prototype, maybe if it works designing a PCB would be the icing of the cake.

My P4 Prescott runs fine with a Radeon 9600 Pro on a Corsair VS450, to be honest i use VS450 on most older ATX builds, even my barton with a Radeon 9600 XT can run, but on some heavy benchmarking the system is unstable due to the lack of 5V current capability, but the system never crashed on normal …

IDK if the tweaks for using the iPad Camera Kit are available but with that you might install dosbox and a mouse and keyboard, or use a btstack tweak to use a wireless keyboard and mouse so you can have good dos games when you are out.

The light was incredibly bright, blue and harsh. Like the arc when rails are welded. I guess an EPROM eraser using such a lamp could erase an EPROM in seconds :) Speaking of which, you could probably erase it really quickly with the light emitted by arc welding something. I learned my lesson by sun …

Do Pentium 4 CPUs even support Windows 98? Because I thought Windows 98 only goes up to Pentium III processors. But I P4s do support Win 98, so I don't think that could be the problem. Yes windows 98 is supported by intel 865 for example, which is a chipset that supports pentium 4 cpus. The …

Check the %PATH% in DOS. Since you have a Voodoo3, my guess is, the search path probably finds the GLIDE2X.OVL copy for Voodoo3 instead of your OR3D. Or, you didn't install the ORD3 drivers which has its own version of GLIDE2X.OVL. I installed the Orchid drivers, but I suspect it was overwritten by …

just to be clear, the pwm controller would use a physical potentiometer for the settings? not using the pci bus right?

Athlon64+ had an IMC.. so max RAM depends on cpu, not the chipset (at least in theory) but... mobo vendors didn't put all the traces, so you could end up having less addressable space. Anyway, most AM2 mobos had 8GB max. Regards https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M2NX/specifications/ "Memory 2 x …
