I seem to remember at least a brief period of time where there was such a thing as software sli and crossfire without a bridge Now, a few of the gpus that supoorted this ended up paired with bridge chips and stuck on agp or pci (non espress) Question: has anyone done it, from agp to pci (non express …

I’m building a k6 3+ on a p55xb2 (take two) Back in the day I used it to record shows. It was the only computer that stayed on all the time (so that it could record) I’ll probably use it for a daily use, web browsing and downloading computer as well as file managment. So it will probably stay on …

I ordered one of these and will be playing with it soon. What would you say is faster? Tillamook @ 4 x 75mhz Or k6 3+ @ 6 x 75mhz Is there any way to get higher than 4x multi on a tillamook?

Snagged this, not sure about the clock, but I hear I can expect trouble? What do I do to fix it? Are there multiple options? It’s supposed to be in a removable socket, so at least there is that. Is there a upgraded part? Or direct replacement? I would prefer not to modify unless it will look oem

It'd be interesting to try 128 meg EDO SIMMs in my TXP4 to see what would happen. In late 2007, someone on Overclockers.com posted a link to an online Frys deal for a PCI GeForce 4 MX 64 megabyte card that was free after rebate. I couldn't resist and bought one. I then decided to build an Asus …

My preferred way is to stick a dual voltage chip that is 'high-voltage' tolerant, like a 6x86MX or first-gen K6 with the board set for a supported/known voltage. After powering on it's quite easy to find a measuring spot, usually it's the tab of one of the mosfets. After that it's safe to play …

Phil has a series on super socket 7 video cards. The results should be pretty similar on the pentium MMX if a bit slower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gipW4lcUHg edit: https://youtu.be/TIPtTM456cQ?t=679 I believe he is regular socket 7 and only has pci I believe the results are comparable Fair …

Supposedly the fastest pci card is the gt610 or possibly a gt730 but I can’t seem to find it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Al_T6bSoclM Thats great if your running XP, many of the 'fastest' pci cards don't have Win98 drivers. Indeed, I think driver support ended on geforce around the 6000 series …

Supposedly the fastest pci card is the gt610 or possibly a gt730 but I can’t seem to find it. But strange thing is, it will actually largely depend on the game. There absolutely will be a difference. The cpu isn’t the whole equation. But some of the difference will come from a place you may not …

Take a look at socket 7's schematic https://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/chap3_0789734044/elementLinks/03fig18.gif I think the pin you want to measure is a VSS pin. There are many around the socket but one that's easy to find is the one near the "key" pin. Perhaps the one opposite of the flat …

Oh, you should try these tests with cache on motherboard both enabled and disabled. I think I read something to the effect that it may matter. I’m still waiting on my motherboard grrr!!! 🙁

[...] Gosh, I hope you’re wrong about having to choose but unfortunately I think you may be onto something. In such a case, I hear using EDO may allow the best of both worlds? What do you think? Highly unlikely. Anyway, good luck finding the 64MB or 128MB 50ns SIMMs for that. Have done rest of …
