He might have been being sarcastic indeed. I don't know. Some people feel differently about these companies than I do, and that's fine.

Oh come on. Intel is being used as a mop at this point. Who cares about Apple's mobile phone operating system.... As as far as RISC being the future.....well I've heard that one before.
Re: What was your first vehicle?
Posted on 2024-06-03, 15:31
My first was a 1988 Suzuki Samurai. 1.3liter 4 cylinder and a 5 speed. Top speed was about 55mph-if there was a tailwind and you were going downhill. It had a removable hard top and was a lot of fun for what it was. Ended up selling it to my brother, I think he rebuilt engine/transmission both and …
Re: Intel SE440BX runs a 850mhz PIII?
Posted on 2024-02-07, 15:47
From what gather the latest bios for this board is P12 which is what I got. Now the cpu has a 100mhz FSB not 133 so maybe that's why it's running no problem except the slower clock. Have you checked the actual clocks peed in either DOS or Windows? My Celeron 1100 shows up during post as a 'Pentium …

That's a great looking system and should handle your tasks quite well. Sweet. Always nice to see any love for the often maligned FX series. Somewhere I still have my old 9590 kicking around. I agree FX was underappreciated. AMD was smaller back then and had limited resources for a single design …

Hmmmm. You might be right, I will have to check mine. Seems like you might be right. I know my Intel branded one supports pretty much all of my Coppermine chips as well as my Via C3 Nehemiah with the proper slocket. I've had both a 1GHZ PII and a 1.1GHZ Celeron in there, i've tried them all on in …

What is the board revision and the bios version? I have two Seattle boards, one is OEM Intel and the other is in my Dell XPS, they both support my PIII 850 without a problem. I'm not sure on the Dell but I'm fairly sure that the BIOS version on the OEM is P13.

The average everyday "Buy Now" prices are almost always ridiculously inflated. You can sometimes get a decent deal with regular old auction listing, the problem is that those are few and far between. Normally they will either be crazy Buy Now, or just insane starting bid prices. What usually gets me …

Edit: Msiread the post. Vortex 2 for the P3 system would be ideal, for the P4 the Audigy is a better bet. I would personally suggest an Aureal Vortex 2 card, especially for anyone that plans of using headphones. You can get them plenty cheap. Turtle Beach, Diamond and others all made them. Stick …

I didnt realize OP was running dx2 without heatsink. Occam's razor, this is very likely answer. Is there any proof that running a DX2-66 without a heatsink can actually kill it? I would be very surprised if that was the issue. Yes, number one they are labeled as such "requires heatsink and fan" …

Remove any cards or peripherals that you don't need (sound, drive controllers etc), pare it down to just PSU/MB/CPU/RAM/Video. Reseat everything, including ram, cpu etc. Check all jumper settings. Start there.
Re: DFI CA61 motherboard - which P3 to put in ?

VIA chipset boards aren't typically as fast as their Intel counterparts, no doubt. But as long as you are careful to select a quality board with a good implementation and take care with the driver installation, I don't really see and issue with using one. I would avoid OEM variants. I'm not overly …
Re: Do you think prices will stay high?
Posted on 2024-01-29, 14:17
I think the elevated prices are here to stay. All it takes is one buyer being willing to pay exaggerated pricing, and one seller who does a search and saw it sell for that price. They then assume that's the value of said item, right or wrong that's how it works. Thankfully eBay has the "Make an …

Re: Bad luck with ebay video cards, asking for advice

dionb makes a very good point, there isn't really any DOS game that is going to make use of more video memory. A faster card with less ram would make more sense than a slower card with ram that you can't really utilize. Now if you are using Win 3.1 or something and need a high resolution desktop for …
Re: Who has the fastest stable k6-3+?

Mine is currently clocked at 616mhz @ 112x5.5. I'll have to fire it up and run the marks to see how stable it is. I can't recall the voltage, maybe 2.3v? I will try to do some testing this week just to see, I have a feeling it won't be 100% stable and will only be at 6x100. I recently seem to have …
