... and only 20 years too late!!! :P (got her about a year ago). In fact I plan to collect all the cards on that ad page. So far I've got the A250TD (Ti4200), the A170 DDR T (Geforce 4 MX460), Winfast Geforce 2 MX400TH and the WinFast Titanium 200 TH. I'm only missing the regular Winfast A170T and …

I would prefer 2nd hand old cases but where I live that's not an option, all I see is those old cases selling for 1.5x what new cases cost.

I wanted to get a Cooler Master HAF XB EVO, they still sell them but I believe its a legacy product but some stock still seems to be there but I think they are just selling off remaining stock. 2 years ago you could get it for $105 USD but in the past 2 years the price inflated to around $150 USD.

I like the Fractal Designs Focus G cases. Quiet, good airflow, decent cable management, and a couple 5.25" bays. I do wish they had tempered glass instead of acrylic side panels, but for the price I can't complain too much. I have one of those for one of my older systems, like you said for the …

I'm on my phone and can't take to good of a look now but in the tab for the graphics card unchecked "use automatic settings" and see if you can pick some that don't conflict.

According to https://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/703/Intel_Core_i7_Extreme_Edition_i7-980X_vs_Intel_Xeon_X5675.html It lists it doesnt have an unlocked multiplier but my system seems to show me different. I should get it better cooling and try to drop the core voltage to use the least voltage possible …

I'm knida confused why I keep hearing the X5675 has a locked multiplier. I'm running it at x25 when its suppose to be x23, and only cooling it with a Cooler master hyper 212... the original one I bought back in 2010 or 2011.

I have my 1366 PC sitting on the other side of the desk from my current setup thinking I would use it but it just sits there collecting dust. I had even upgraded the i7 950 that was in it to a x5675 over clocked to 4.5 GHz thinking that would be interesting and it still sits collecting dust. I kept …

I've put this board aside for now, it's got other idiosyncrasies - it refuses to boot with a bog-standard Slot 1 Pentium III/500 I have; Everything turns on, the CPU gets warm but the screen remains black with not even the numlock light on the keyboard turning on (they just do the "power on flash" …

Odd I have one of these boards and I never thought of it as server-grade as it has little in common with my other PII & PIII server boards. I guess they can have optional LAN controller and port so maybe. Mine has the Double Row Front Panel Connector (Optional) so the reset is there but blanked out …

The motherboard is perfectly fine - it has really high quality caps which is why I bought it in the first place (that and because it was a high end mobo at the time so has lots of bells & wistles). Probably has the same caps my TUSL2-C had and it had to have some leaky caps replaced (leaky current …

Ah, I did recall someone having been beyond 1GHz on similar SM dual slot 1 boards, but not whether it was coppermines or tualatins - have you ever tried the latter? Also, based on your success, maybe the BIOS and board revision play some part - the P6DGS and the P6DBE (PCB REV 0.xx/1.xx) share a …
