I wanted a quieter S478 cooler so i got Thermaltake Pipe101 and slapped a 92mm noctua fan on it. close to 500gm of pure copper with a quiet fan = good times.
intellipoint 4.1, win98, input is broken - alternatives?
Posted on Today, 02:26
i have an optical intellimouse 1.1 (scroll wheel, side buttons) and wanted to use the side buttons in W98se. installing intellipoint 4.1 is fine, selecting the device is fine, the side buttons allow me to go back/forward in pages and windows in explorer, which is what i wanted. the problem now is …

i had the lock-up issue because of an older ctmouse driver in one of philscomputerlab driver packs. dott would lock up a few minutes into the game. i did everything like slowing down the game, trying different soundcards and settings, memory settings. changing to the latest ctmouse driver fixed it …

Re: ESS1868F IRQ DOS/WIN98 problems
Posted on 2022-04-14, 03:58
dos isn't initialising any other hardware than what is needed, so unisound is setting the irq at 5 for the sound card. this setting isn't permanent, it's just the TSR in dos making it up as it starts. which is absolutely normal. the motherboard's resources show you irq 9 because win95 and win98 are …

Without knowing for certain, I'd bet my life savings on it being the chipset. With nForce chipsets of the same era, they don't support the features necessary to run the TSRs which emulate DMA which DOS games rely on for digital audio. Any P4 motherboard with an Intel chipset (i845, i865) will be a …

once or twice a month, sometimes less if i feel like ive gone over my imaginary budget. i make exceptions for local facebook marketplace sales - if i see something too cheap to pass up then i make an enquiry and hope nobody else has snatched it up. im happy to go for a drive to get a bargain.

Don't take this the wrong way but I think you need to keep your PC builds for a personal blog or something. At the very least, complete a PC and then post it. This entire post to me, is literally low quality clickbait.

I want to limit myself to 2 dos/w9x machines, the other being a P3 550 / Voodoo 3 / AWE64 & Orpheus combo. The idea of the P4 system …
