I need some help. I have a full-sized Baby AT socket 4 board (Intel Hendrix). I tried to fit it into three or four typical Baby AT towers from the 1992-1994 era, but it was too big for them. Only a couple of millimeters were missing, but the drive section mostly hit the metal parts. Which cases from …

Great, thanks for sharing all your thoughts! Really appreciate it. I just ran CHKCPU and it seems that CPU is correcly identified with WB enabled. I am also running several test using speedsys and CACHECHK, confirming L1 cache and different performance settings related to RAM speed, external cache …

How do you know that a given processor has stepping cb0, cd0, etc.? Yep, from sspec. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7uV-Ikt43d/ If you can do, it is worth to use the authentic stepping, some mainboards and/or bioses are not compatible with the newer unsupported steppings. Check the bios description: …

Thanks, so second character means year. Not nice... After searching the entire ebay for CPU slots 1000/133 and 1000/100, in ongoing and ended offers, I found only one CPU that was manufactured in 2000. I'm building a Slot 1 PC where for each part I have to have hard proof that it was manufactured …

Is there any difference? :) i will try out the wax, looks more promising for the longterm usage. No difference yet. It's placed right behind the window and it gets enough sunlight every day. So I am hoping to see a difference in few months. I also think that the wax is potentially better because …

I found it... So, the more angular version was around 1993-94 (486 builds), and the more rounded version was from 1996-98 (Pentium builds).

I need help identifying the case model. It should be an Enlight case; DTK always used it. I have personal memories of it from a summer student job I had in 1996, where we built DTK Pentium PCs for the local university. We used exactly the same case. I had a desktop version of it back in the day for …

Well, does period correct encompass what people actually bought that year? Because by late 2000, slot1 440bx was old news, as was the 100mhz fsb. If you were still running that platform, it was probably something like a Celeron 533a overclocked to 800mhz, or if you had just bought a Dell, maybe a …

i guess for the intel the slot1 with 820+rdram was interesting. after the p4 released, the p3 went to the mainstream with 815+sdram+socket.
