Nice project! Now I need to find a Tillamook again but those are nowhere near as available as few years ago (sadly sold mine few years ago, stupid move).
Re: Early 440LX AGP voltage regulator issue, anyone tried cards with additional power connector?

There is official Asus rework for early versions of P2L97 which included soldering wire directly to a capacitor and unsoldering voltage regulator leg.

I have a Compaq ap 550 that seems quite ok heat dissipation wise. It is not an ATX case but it is compatible with ATX moyherboards. They are also built to withstand an gunshots and grenades. :-) Many Compaq models from that time period are possible to transform from tower to desktop but I don't …

Windows 98 at least has all the drivers for it. Not sure if there are specific drivers anywhere for Compaq Triflex chipset but it seems to work just fine with 98 ones.

Have the same Proline, originally 575 but I upgraded CPU to 166MHz MMX (works slightly overvolted but with good cooler no problem). Machine has Compaq's own chipset and supports maximum of 192MB RAM (and can cache it all).
Re: Is this recapped SOLTEK SL-65FVB motherboard worth 200 euro's?
Posted on 2022-02-06, 12:13
It is bog standard VIA chipset board, not worth anywhere 200 euros. I would buy SL-67B anytime over VIA equipped but since Sl-67B is just a standard (though quite good) 440BX board and quite rare at that, just look for something cheaper (and better at that). Good BX boards qork nicely at 133 MHz FSB …

I used regular angle grinder with steel cutting disc (drilled holes in the corners beforehand to have nice rounded corners). Why tapping the holes? PSU has tapped screw holes already. Case is steel.

This is my temporary IBM computing area :) Temporary as in I will have to empty the room in a week so that decorators can come and paint walls (not the brick wall). Aptiva is original aside from P 100MHz -> 166 MHz MMX and 2x32 MB RAM, Netvista is sort of a hot-rod: consists of MSI s1150 mATX system …

Knowing Intel it is disabled in the same manner like locked multiplier (=impossible to undo). I stupidly sold one I had few years ago and now they are pretty much disappeared. For the moment I will keep them in the hopes that some day someone may be able to figure out how to make them do dual. I …

Re: Cannot use Windows XP after installing P3 CPU for Lucky Star 6LX2 Ver 1.1 (Intel 440LX)

It is a known limitation of LX chipset: when installing a Coppermine CPU (doesn't matter whether it is PIII or Celeron) it gives BSOD with both XP and Windows 2000.
Re: do slot 2 xeons run only at their rated speed?

Of course you can run 1GHz PIII Xeon at 100 MHz FSB, it will just run at 750 MHz. I don't consider the small cache PIII Xeons as Xeons, they are really just a Coppermine core PIII's in Slot2 cartridge.
Re: do slot 2 xeons run only at their rated speed?
Posted on 2021-12-28, 18:59
Large cache Xeons run whatever you feed them. They are just specified to run at 100 MHz bus by Intel and small cache ones are specified to run at 133 MHz FSB. I have ran PIII Xeon 700/2M/100 easily at 133 MHz FSB on my Asus XG-DLS, I tested from 4-7 (533-933 MHz) and it worked well even without …

It is a very good board, I had one (also dead) and Tiido repaired it. It had permanent reset which ended up being caused by dead chipset. After replacing it worked nicely.
