I´m glad it´s working well! Which adapter are using? Did you do any prep work, aligning, etc? No prep work, I simply formatted the drive and installed WIndows. The SATA to IDE bridge I'm using is a cheap GL830-based one. I got mine off of Amazon, but you can find similar ones on AliExpress for far …

I've been using a 60GB Intel SSD 330 on my WIndows 98SE box with an IDE adaptor for a few weeks now and haven't noticed any performance issues. It is vastly faster than any mechanical hard drive of that era, especially in real world performance with lots of random reads. I don't think the lack of …

You might want to consider print orientation for more strength in the retaining clips .. I did consider the print orientation, but I really didn't want to have to split it up into pieces or try to print it vertically. The locking tabs are still fairly strong when printed in PETG and can be flexed …

I noticed that there were quite a few used HP ML370 G1 Slot 1 CPU upgrade kits for sale at used hardware vendors and eventually ended up purchasing one. However, these CPUs don't come with a fan attached to their heatsink. I had initially intended to simply zip tie a case fan to it to give it some …

As a few others have pointed out, a 9600XT is a bit much for a PIII-550 and would be much better in a P4 or fast PIII coppermine system. I currently have the 9600XT installed in a PIII-1000 and it can play Halo: CE pretty well in that system, but that system is a Compaq DeskPro and it has a few BIOS …

The power supply I'm using is a 600W model from Ultra that says it's rated for 30A on the 5v rail and I had the same issues with a different power supply as well. The 9200SE is actually a PCI card, but the Rage Pro that's in it is AGP and works fine. The CPU is definitely going to be upgraded to a …

I'm restoring a system I had as a kid and installing a few upgrades that I would have wanted then, but wasn't able to afford. (Previous thread for context: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=76970) At the moment it has: Asus P3V4X Mobo (Apollo133) PIII 550 384MB PC133 PCI Radeon 9200SE VIA …

I cleaned out the AGP socket as best as I could using a toothbrush and IPA, still no luck on making the 9600XT work in that board. I tried installing the 9600XT in my socket 370 machine and it works flawlessly aside from a noisy fan. The graphics card I have in my P3V4X (3D Rage Pro) works fine as …

I had another look at the board and card and there's no signs of capacitor failure, but AGP slot does have some corrosion on the pins. I will try cleaning it and give the card another try. I'm also going to install Windows on another box with an AGP slot to make sure the card actually works …

I'm trying to turn a PC I had as a kid into a sort of do everything Win98/XP box and I'm having a hard time getting my 9600XT to work in it.
