Hello, I need to replace the ATX power supply of a ECS P6BAP-A+ that blowed up. I've no PSU so I do not be able to find any suitable replacement. Currenty I do not have any ISA card. Ideally, the MB has ISA slots so I should buy a second hand PSU with -5V. But this are hard to find and sometimes …

I own a Dell Inspiron 6400 with Intel Core Duo T2400, 2 GB RAM and ATI x1400 video card. Do you think it will improve video streaming/Youtube by adding such Broadcom card? BCM970015 will cost me about 16 euros, while BCM970012 about 7 euros.

Hello, I think I7 3770K (BX80637I73770K) is faster then 2600K. It uses 1155 socket and Z77 chipset.

Nothing lasts forever. Also plastic is biodegradable...it is only matter of time. :) When you are using retrobright you will only remove external layer of the yellowish thing, but soon the internal thing starts to emerge and the process also accelerates yellowing. The only way to keep plastic white …

From Intel desktop CPU point of view, I think Intel core 4th generation like i7-3yyyy are the last officially supported. This due to integrated GPU. From AMD, I think the last is AMD Carrizo CPUs with some motheboards like ASUS. ASrock does not support Carrizo and Windows XP. Such AMD configuration …

I've just bought a Creative 3D Blaster Banshee CT 6750, but my near-vintage PC does not support it (no AGP 3,3v support). So I should get a new vintage PC 😀

Better choise between VIA VT6421a or Silicon Image 3114 PCI cards?

Hello, I need to add SATA to Windows 98 and possibly older and newer systems. I found VIA VT6421a or Silicon Image 3114 that have SATA ports. VIA VT6421a has also a IDE connector that could bring IDE to newer PCs, so it is more versatile then Silicon Image 3114. I think Silicon Image 3114 has better …

Look for 775I65G I/O Shield (Backplate) on ebay. Here you can find a lot of photos. I also think that the i/o shield of p4i65g or k7vt4a should be compatible with 775I65G.

I think Asrock 775Dual-880pro is a good motherboard and let you choose a mono core processor like Pentium 4 or later. It's sound card it compatible with Windows 98 and if you like you can add a better sound card. This motherboard fits AGP and PCI express card (like ATI Radeon x800). You have EIDE ( …

No such thing as retro PCI-E. That stuff is 15 years old already. When I read the topic title, I said to me: " There is NO retro PCI-Express card, because PCI-E is new". However, it's 15 years old and my AIW x1900 works on Windows 10 but it has generic driver. For Windows 98, I think the best for …

It depends on what you are watching. For example with a PCI TNT2 you can reach 1920x1024 with a good fps. https://books.google.it/books?id=EAIAAAAAMBAJ … olution&f=false
