Other parts include a Pentium D 945 CPU (planning to swap it with a Core2Duo E6500 or hopefully a Core2Quad Q6600), a floppy/card reader combo …

Good that it's working, but we aren't joking that you might be the first one to actually try a USB keyboard on it since ASUS did in their lab in 1997 :D Perhaps a BIOS update (if any are available) would help? There's two BIOS updates... https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/pcpartner-mvp3bs7-954- …

Yes, those "Berg Housings" have a plastic "catch" in the side of the body to make it easy to insert the wires at the factory but hard to remove them by accident. If you are very careful with a small pick or screwdriver, you can gently lift the "catch" in order to move the wires and rearrange them. …

Thanks Joseph, your guide worked, somehow, to install my Audigy 2ZS on my Windows Millenium PC. The only however was the DOS Driver Installation. The step 4.3 wont worked, because the setup refused to go saying that I'm not using an Win9x OS.... But it didn't matter because after that, even with an …

Hello everyone, Sorry for the delay in updating the post. No hardware update, but I'm about to receive 2x1GB DDR400.

Hello everyone, I'm a bit disapointed, to tell the true... My Quadro FX1000 can't handle nGlide at 1600x1200 on Unreal Gold (It uses Unreal Tournament engine)... On Direct3D it works perfectly. I'm using the first driver available... Maybe I'll update the driver to see if can improve something... …
