Easiest way to see if something is wrong is using the date command in DOS.

Probably just a binned chip which was tested to work at lower voltages.

Re: Is the core 2 extreme qx 6700 considered a collectable/rare cpu?
Posted on 2024-04-10, 16:00
It's not very rare, but it's a decent find. I think most people aim to get the Penryn versions (QX9650, etc.) so the Conroe ones aren't as sought after.

Haswell isn't easily XP-compatible; check Ivy Bridge and earlier.

Your best bet is buying a bigger thermal pad and just cutting it to size: see something like https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-TP-3-Performanc … /dp/B09V53JVCS/

Looking at the driver inf's, it's DEC 21143 based which should be easier to find drivers for.

Yes, I had this exact problem on my Via AM2 build. Windows ME worked with the same Nvidia card.

BitWrangler wrote on 2023-10-04, 12:53: so if it turns out I can patch BIOS for that, I will. I'd also love to be able to mod my AM2 BIOS for AM2+ or even AM3. Later Phenoms are just so much faster than the Athlon 64s.
Re: K2+ / K3 & K3+ in comparison to K2
Posted on 2023-09-22, 17:21
The K6-3 non plus is identical to the K6-3+ in performance. Basically the only 2 big differences are 1. overclocking capability and 2. heat produced, as the plus model uses a smaller node. So if you see a K6-3+ benchmark, it's safe to assume the K6-3 non plus is about the same. The extended 3Dnow …
Re: Heatsink-Fan: 3rd Gen i5 compatible with 4th Gen i7?

The mounting is identical between the two generations so it will work. Edit: CPU will not work between the 2 boards. Different sockets (LGA 1155 vs 1150)
Re: Getting Maxtor SATA 150 PCI card working in NT 4 setup
Posted on 2023-08-20, 05:45
I got NT 4 working normally by passing through the SSD to VMWare on a different computer. I then installed NT 4 the normal way, updated to SP6a, and added the SCSI drivers for both uniata and Promise. After putting the drive back into the K6 computer, NT 4 booted!

Posted on 2023-08-19, 02:44
Ok so you tried the actual NT4 driver and it does not work on your motherboard + the SATA controller. What motherboard and BIOS ? Are they pre 1998 ?? Which version of NT4 ? Are you at SP5 ? added: NT4 SP5 is 1999 like Win98SE. Original NT4 is 1996 like Win95b Just some thoughts: Inside the driver …
Getting Maxtor SATA 150 PCI card working in NT 4 setup
Posted on 2023-08-19, 01:42
I decided to multiboot my K6 system that already has 98se, by installing NT 4 and XP. I currently have a Maxtor SATA card in it, which is basically just a rebranded Promise SATA 150 TX2 Plus (even says so in device manager.) I wrote the Maxtor drivers to a floppy, booted NT 4's setup, and while I …

Really though, aside from the fun in playing with something, it's not worth spending more than a few $ on this hardware. Much faster, much newer hardware is cheap as well. Like Skylake-based corp hardware for example. I agree; many Haswell prebuilts are getting retired and thus getting thrown out …

The Fractal Pop Air still has room for 2 5.25 drive bays. It also scored very well on GN's reviews for basically everything else.

Sounds like bad VRAM possibly, could try to replace the chips to see if that helps. That being said, the MX 440 really isn't as bad of a card as you think it is. It should play games up to 2001 or 2002 pretty well.

Well, I plan to build an only-Win98SE scoreboard, for score consistency.. ME actually has always felt like a bit bigger update to Win98SE. They don't really differ dramatically - imho. What was the issue on Win98SE? Basically none of the drivers installed properly besides chipset drivers. GPU …
