I had ls-120 drives in xp64 and vista and windows 7 systems and they all worked out of the box. The problem was finding an ide controler card that works with ls-120 drives.

Msn is still up. But getting to it from a system running 95 may take some work.

Received the ram for the sound blaster and the 6800gt. The 6800 was shiped in a paper bag and was damaged in shipping. 😵 Who ships video cards in a paper bag? Anyway I bought a 6800 ultra OC. Hopefully it arrives with out damage.

You're a brave and noise-tolerant soul. :-) I could never get into the Athlons. They just ran so hot, and the CPU fans on those things were screaming banshees. I remember watching a video put out by one of the PC enthusiast outlets back then of what happens when you suddenly lose the active cooling …

I got the CPU, ram and PSU today. The PSU looks new. But I opened it up to be safe. I put new thermal compound on the heatsinks and put a new better fan in it. All the caps looks good too.

Just about everything in the link I posted has 3m thermal tape preinstalled. If not this is the stuff you want.

As long as it fits it will be ok. Smaller or bigger is ok. The more surface area the better however. And no they will not fall off if you install them right, if you get the ones with the 3m thermal tape your likely pull the chip off the PCB if you tried to take the heat sink off. Its some really …

Don't over think it, all you need is some sick on heat sinks if you case has fans and OK air flow. Not many people even have more then one case fan back in the 90s, let alone stick on heat sinks on their voodoo2s. I believe the voodoo2 chips are somewhere around 25 to 30mm. I could be off but I …

The cpu block has arrived and its in amazing shape for its age. I believe the cpu-330 came out in 2007? Aside from two small scratches on the side of the block its spotless. It has everything that came with it new aspect the box.

Voodoo2 cards don't really get that hot. Most your need is some stick on heat sinks and fan's. I just watched recently Phil's video on youtube where he measured 85C surface temperature on the voodoo 2 card chip even on open test bench. That is one thing that made me worried. He only used one card …
