chipset with integrated SATA and not using third party Which is useless, because VIA VT8237 has bug with SATA2 or SATA3 drives.

Regular K6-2 are capable to achieve 600 Mhz. After all the highest binned K6-2 is 550 Mhz. Regular Pentium MMX 2.8v power won't hurt it in any shape (with sufficient cooling).

That's ASUS. They were cheap enough to not include 12v on their premium nForce 2 board.

Anyway, I think less than 1% of socket A boards have it and they are generally very hard to find. grinning face Almost all nForce2 boards have it. and I don't think I ever saw a VIA socket A board with this connector. KT880 boards.

Err I'd want it to work with PCI soundcards but wouldn't need ISA slots Not ISA slots, ISA DMA through PCI.

That depends on what do you want. Do you need AGP 1.0 compatible slot? Do you need ISA DMA support?

The CPU might actually survive just like the rest of the motherboard. I will survive - 486.

3dfx value is overblown because it's a cult. Same goes for GUS cards, but with even less reason to use for games.

Voodoo 2 are more valued overall.
Re: Pentium Overdrive PODP5V83 question

The POD is great if you look at it in the right way Eh, not really. If you already have multiple systems, you don't need that stopgap solution for Socket 3 platform. And in many cases using overclocked AMD 5x86 would be more beneficial for stuff that actually CAN run decently. So let's be real, …

And even an "average" quality banknote can pass as an original on a dark, noisy, dirty bar or night club. You can't replicate certain texture and metal/plastic strip of modern currency on such hardware. So chance of success is increasingly low.

I do think something like a 66mhz overdrive is a good cpu though for such a system. 120 Mhz / 60 Mhz FSB (with some voltmod) would be fun.

Re: Modern graphics on a 486
Posted on 2020-09-13, 04:39
All Baby-AT PCI motherboards have an onboard VRM to provide the necessary 3.3V power supply rails to power cards themselves Early Pentium motherboards usually don't have it (including first gen 430HX b0ards). And 486 PCI boards never had it. That same VRM likely provides power to the CPU socket as …
Re: Modern graphics on a 486

Intel's own AN430HX works with everything. Any ATX board should work too in theory, because they support PCI 3.3v, unlike most AT boards.

Hm, it seems modern law will allow to photocopy dollar with some restrictions (color, size, etc). That's why your HP printed it.

Yes, they identify it by certain pattern on banknotes. Only main ones though, like dollar and euro. Nobody cares about currency from some african republic.
