But these files were not big, up to 70MB I think. I'd say disk cache that's ok but this never should cause swapping the …

Yes, closing IE is not causing any substancial drop in memory usage. I think I will go with another motherboard (ASUS CUSL2-C) with Pentium III and SDR memory. Will throw 128 or 256 megs or whatever it needs 😁

Try this experiment. Install gpuz, enable logging sensors and gpu load to file, start the game and play 5 minutes. Then check how much load on the gpu actually you have. Also check temperatures, maybe your problem is throtling?

Thanks! Nice finds. I run Aida64 on the PC and it shows clearly that the motherboard is MSI MS-6342/K7M Pro (MS-6340M) with KM133 chipset and VIA ProSavage IGP.

Agree, the capacitors will be replaced - no problem. What I'm looking for is any proof on the internet of an existence of these PCs. Manual maybe, available configurations. I did looked even in wayback, but no trace at all. Google images search also does not give any good results.

Hi guys. When I was a teenager my uncle gave me a computer as a gift, it was Fujitsu Siemens Xpert equipped with AMD Duron 900 and Nvidia Riva TNT 2 m64. Years after it was worn and I (sadly) throw it up. Now after a couple years of looking through the internet I was able to spot almost the same …

Hmm this is interesting, the setup program (nVidia ForceWare) said explicitly this is a Windows 2000 driver (it has been written in the setup title window and header label). The version I got is 180.48

How about cpga321 vs super socket7. Are these basically the same? Also this 570 MHZ is 95MHz fsb, would my ss7 mobo support that?

I would suggest to go with AMD cards like 3850 or 3650 instead GeForce 7 series. The main reason is because you get with more recent card, but also more energy efficient, better support for hardware video decoding. 3d performance etc.

I received today an UMC U5SX 40MHz. Bought this CPU for $ 25 and personally I think it's great deal. Because there is no PDF for this cpu available on the internet, do you guys know if the "SX" symbol means that there is no coprocessor in this CPU?

Did you tried let's say 32 and 64MB or you try some big SDRAM sticks like 128MB? I actually had similar problem once and it turned out to be hardware error. Couple resistors near the ram slots on the mobo were torn.
