What i wonder, what if adding the wrong VRM will result in frying/ destroying the whole machine that will suck... Also from the online manuals it seems the IBM PC 365 supports max of 512 ram x4 128MB, but not sure about the CPUs 200MHz is maximum, but cache appear to be max 256mb, while 512 cache …

Only things people sell at local flea markets are old clothes, dishes, furniture, military stuff (commonly called militaria here) and such. Mostly things anyone else would instantly bring to waste disposal. No chance in getting any computer stuff. Something from the good old times not even in your …

This Seagate ST51080A 3.5 inch slim sexy looking hard drive (1GB) ... Fun fact: the drive didn't work. (some strange clicking, but not the usual type) Usually I don't bother, but I decided to open it up... and something magic happened, because it booted up fine, with no strange noises. And I didn't …

So as i found that the temperatures on the Voodoo V 5500 chips are dumb high (specially the primary chip closest to the VGA port is really burning fingers....) and i never like to use hardware that cook itself slowly over the years (sure these cards working fine like that, but still they may die at …
