Thank you for the information, I will definitely use it in my machines with ISAs and PCI soundcards.

Re: Thermaltake volcano cpu cooler - Potentiometer missing

This is inside the switch: I think the black rollers with the silver stripe are diodes, there's probably going to be some kind of resistor under the insulation and by connecting the contacts you're getting a reduced voltage from the original 12V, which makes the fan lower the speed and noise.
Re: Thermaltake volcano cpu cooler - Potentiometer missing

This is not a potentiometer, but a Speed switch to switch between HI-MID-LOW speeds (via voltage). I'll shoot the wiring inside for you tomorrow, but there's a wire with (apparently a protective diode?) and probably resistors - it's in isolation, and I'm very bad at electrical components.

For me it works well (MSI K8N Neo V2) with this driver package, currently with Turion, GF 6800 and Audigy, for pure W98 games (not MS-DOS: pure or WinDOS).

Sorry, I didn't notice - I thought you were writing about chip marking. You're right, a TAG chip and one cache chip are missing. Another thing is that if 30pin modules are used, all 4 must be fitted.

Maybe the Prolink PixelView GF4MX440-SE version, but it's still weird. It would help a screen from GPUZ to see the BIOS version and compare it to the one on the PCB sticker. http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/cpu/item/ … orce4-mx-440-se

I think for the MX420 version, DDR memories were only in the 64-bit variant, not 128-bit.

I had 2 cards with artifacts where there was nothing to lose and after heating the airgun, FX5900XT ran without artifacts and worked, FX5700, on the other hand, had even more artifacts. So it's a …

I think he has a glitches in 2D and a signal off in 3D (maybe the wrong setting in MSI AB?). He can try removing the graphics adapter in Device Manager and reinstall after restart, then the problem should disappear if the card is OK.

A 21" trinitron with a fine grille pitch at 60Hz is peak CRT in all use cases and you cannot change my mind. (Unless you can find a larger one) :) At 60Hz RR? So that's a choice for real gourmets. No, thanks - even in pure DOS I use Unirefresh, UniVBE or VBEHz for higher refresh rate - flickering …
