oof what else do you need than this? I guess you can assign irq 7 to the on board so it doesn't conflict with the sblive and that should cover everything. Idk how well the OPl4 is on the motherboard, I thought that I read it wasn't the same as GM. But the board has a midi/joystic port so maybe plug …

Ya the ony way I know that it might work is by using the patched IO.sys from rloew tb plus because it removes the limitations of how many primary partitions you can have in 9x. Make multiple primary dos partitions in win XP or 2003, install BOOTMGR from BTTR to hide partitions and boot them. Like …

Other than CPU and ram, theres no fair comparison of a the 2 due to lack of PCI to CPU bufers on the VX.

Core 2 is borderline not quite period correct for Windows XP. There was definitely overlap, as Vista came out a year or so after Core 2 Duo and was adopted slowly. When I built my Q6600 I clean installed Vista (and had very few issues using my then-new hardware) so to me Core 2 doesn't give me …

Its not the battery is it? I'm sure that you know better, I just didn't see one connected. I see its been mentioned before. Ya no battery on some boards is no post. It could of been just a fluke that it posted before.

looks to be made by Tandon Corporation. The case is engineered around the mainboard. The Microchannel CPU daughterboard would only work in this case. I tried to do some research and theres not much out there. This might of been their last PC, and probably rare to find in the states as wiki states by …

Got the 64GB version and tried it on my ThinkPad T42 with Windows 98 and Windows XP. They really aren't that good, and the performance was pretty terrible, 98 loved to lock up when installed and RW speeds were extremely slow, XP had similar issues. I heavily recommend going with a CF to IDE adapter …
