Re: My Pentium III build

Thanks guys! My next video will a build video of upgrading my retro PC. It´s going to be a bit longer and I try to improve on the audio department (including my english) 😀 I´ll start filming as soon as I get all necessary parts for my upgrade. Actually, only thing I´m missing is Tualatin-S 1.4 GHz. …

Re: My Pentium III build

I made my first video for youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewVcfH4edtQ&t=6s I´m aready aware about the technical and artistic shortcomings in that vid: - sound quality is terrible and I´m not sure what happened to my mic, probably just due to my inexperience - my Finglish is torture for …

Re: Win98.SE "The Beast"

That sure is a neat case paint! But those DVD/floppy panels and bay panels are crying for some unified coloring. I would paint them in same silver as that panel where the power button and indicator leds are located. It has quite powerful components for win98 rig, what games you had in mind when …

Maxtor ATA-133 - PCI

So I have the IDE controller in questions and here are my retro-PC specs: - Abit ST6 - P3 800EB - 512 Mb - IDE to SD adapter (https://www.dx.com/p/sd-card-to-ide-hard-drive-converter-secure-digital-2005310?fbclid=IwAR0r0VW2NtfjLj0U9Bfs7ZjGgBpFL1RIwOyZGN4J_eSSAA-LMQp9KBGIMDY) - Sandisk 64GB Extreme …

Re: My Pentium III build

According to "cpu-upgrade", the Abit ST6 motherboard supports up to Pentium3 1400S anyway, so you really shouldnt have to upgrade the BIOS. http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ABIT/ST6.html Granted, getting ahold of a GF2 Ultra is an excellent find since they are getting really hard to find, your system …

Re: Tualatin/GeForce 3 build

Nice build! I´m suprised you have so many problems with your system. My build is actually quite similar to yours: Abit ST6 mobo (i815EP) with 512 Mb SDRAM and a P3 800EB cpu. No problems what so ever, only it took like three separate iterations of formatting and installing every program before it …

Re: My Pentium III build

I came across a GeForce 2 Ultra and SB Live! for a very attractive price, so it seems that this machine will be a maxed out P III one day. I´ve already decided to swap my 800EB to a Tualatin 1.4 GHz-S, which I think my MB supports after updating to the latest BIOS. Just need to find one... Anyways, …

Re: My Pentium III build

Nice build, first pic I thought it was going to be a standard old PC case full of old hardware build. Wasn't expecting full strip down for a first attempt! Really like the speakers but get where your coming from with rear speakers and wires. You could just remove the 2 rears and still have a retro …

Re: My Pentium III build

It's different! The unofficial SP3 for W98SE has several updates, patches and add-ons, but you should carefully read the description of each one whether it's compatible with and useful for your system. Simply selecting all and installing is not a good idea. I don't see the point of buying retro …

Re: My Pentium III build

Nice build! I like the case and quite a beast of a GPU back in the day. It seems you have put a lot of work into your project and you can be proud of it. I also do not apply unofficial service packs for Win 98. What I would recommend installing are the USB drivers to easily swap files. If you want …

Re: My Pentium III build

This build looks awesome :-) Can you share details about which addons from USP you use? I personally don't apply the service pack, instead I just install the unofficial USB pack, "nusb3.6.exe". About GOG, I've unfortunately had a bad experience recently with the re-release of Planescape Torment …

My Pentium III build

Hello everyone! I´m a completely new member to these forums and I figured I´d share my Retro PC project with you guys. 8.jpg So, this is my rig in its current state: - case: Fujitsu ErgoPro eL - mobo: Abit ST6 - CPU: Pentium III 800EB - RAM: 512 Mb - GPU: nVidia GeForce 2 GTS - sound card: Sound …
