I'm playing currently with ASUS A7N8X-E. Best it can do is 5.5 x 154 [847MHz]. It doesn't boot with 5x regardless of FSB or memory settings. But it can push memory to 133% of FSB. I'll test to see the difference. Board comes with MCP-T southbridge, and I'm curious to see how nvidia's SoundStorm will …

You all are right, it is pretty interesting for a number of reasons to see what the "out-of-the-box" configuration produces given a hardware configuration. I do not normally overclock anything - particularly retro parts; but these Thunderbird processors are not exactly rare, and I am not pushing …

Attahced Logitech G305 to my PII retro rig. Windows98 found all the drivers. What an experience in early FPS games. I know it's not a retro, but I'm done with crappy PS mouses. Going through LucasArts Outlaws righ now, enjoying the gameplay and music.

Isn't PCI just rebranded Ensoniq (or derivative of) which did lots of stuff in software? Could it be that Live! has bigger driver overhead at low audio settings? I'm curious to try ESS Solo-1, or something similar.

The 2nd motherboard I ever bought was an Intel D815EEA w/Pentium III@733MHz, which replaced an Asus P2B w/400MHz Pentium II. I installed it into some kind of translucent green case. I think this was during the iMac G3 "berry" rage. Anyway, this board conveniently included a 900/100MHz CPU (one of …

No significant difference is visible, they are just rated differently.

1.6V@400MHz or 2.0V@550/570MHz , you could probably reverse it and both would work.

It's true, DFI has gazillion combinations for jumper + DIP switch for voltage regulation. It starts from 1.3V or something about. Why is DFI the only board to support UDMA66, isn't chipset the same on all boards (VIA MVP3) ? Or is it SMSC chipset on DFI that integrates IDE controllers? BTW, EP-51 …

For quake2 it has to be Voodoo2 or Riva TNT. This game sold tons of Voodoos. Are Mendocino Celerons allowed? They are more affordabale and clockable, since they are not limited by L2 cache chips.

Just ordered cheap TBird 900 locally. Will try pencil-mod to unlock it for 8.5 multi (850MHz). Board is ECS K7S6A+ (Sis 745), about equivalent to VIA KT266 performance wise. I used it before for AMD Geode project. GPU is Asus V6800 Deluxe. And 'Wayback machine' spitted out TBird DLLs. We'll soon see …

Funnily, caps on two EP-51MVP3 I've seen look way better than on later s370/s462 Epox boards.

100mhz bus is enough 😉. Do you have link for DFI BIOS, or you mean this page? EDIT: Found the thread with Soggi's BIOS.

Does anybody have more info on EPoX EP-51MVP3E-M. Good, bad or in-between? It has 1MB of L2 and supports K6-3+ / 127GB disks with latest bios. It's either that or DFI K6XV3+/66 [512KB L2].

Well, they are still cheaper than anybody else. But they'll never sell more than few 100s with these prices. I'm also from Europe. Tax is 25%, and no customs up to 150€. I managed to sell 1 cpu to a friend from other forum, keeping 2 for myself. It would have been cheaper if seller was private …
