It doesn't need updates, already flawless in my book.

You gonna love the hot air station when you have to encounter RoHS solder! Congrats. 😀 Also handy when opening phones and tablets. Did a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and 5 just yesterday.

Power Man isn't that bad. In your case, it's a FSP underneath after all. 😉

Will it run a multiprocessor OS or is it just for the aesthetics? Either way fabulous! Green PCBs; clean look. And I like the brass accent on the coolers. Maybe sleeve the CPU fan cables with something black. 😀

Indeed, look at those tracks. Infinite L2 cache! I wonder what the board designer was thinking at that moment...and I'm wondering if there is actually a memory die in that chip package.

Free Antec full tower with 2 SCSI Plextor drivers (only reason I drove 150 km to get it). Some Asus socket 940 mainboard on the inside and some IDE/SATA drives, but I'm chuffed that I finally have the Plextor SCSI back I wanted. Antec.jpg That's not an Antec, but the legendary AOpen HX08! Nice …

Finally found an Irongate driver (760 chipset) which doesn't crash and burn a fresh 98SE installation. (v1.20).

I sold a few Maxdata systems 'back in the day'. German brand right? 😀

I bricked my retro build by testing a bios cmos utility... First i used it to make a backup of the cmos settings, which seemingly went well. Then i used it to reset the cmos as a test, this indeed reset the bios to its corrupted setting state and i chose to load the default settings. Apparently i …

You moved to a new house and inherited a closet? 😁 DX4 and a color display, nice. Only drawback could be the vast amount of ghosting I think?

A while back, I replaced the capacitors of an Abit KA7-100 mainboard, which is a pain in the ass with all that RoHS solder. It took hours. After that, the board refused to boot. Again hours of troubleshooting went by, I almost gave up the board. Then I found this blob in the middle: https://tweakers …

Maybe FCKGW still works. Your data to Microsoft is more important than 139 bucks.

Intel X3100 IGP is just dead slow, hate to say it. Does it have a proper PCIe slot?
