Afternoon Y’all, Usually information on Dell PSUs is pretty abundant and there’s plenty of adapters for sale. I can’t verify exactly what type of adapter would be needed for this system. I’d like to replace the PSU with something modern. But don’t want to fry the whole system by putting in the …

Weird, I'm pretty sure the P2B I had run a 500MHz Katmai on was Rev 1.02 too.🤔 Did you ever update the BIOS? Edit: Found an old official CPU support matrix that says all revisions of the P2B support 100MHz Katmai Pentium III CPUs. Maybe I set the jumpers wrong.. I’ll have to mess with it more this …

Hey All, I don’t know a lot about Voodoo cards. But for Windows 98 Gaming would these SLI Voodoo 2s be fairly compatible and perform well? Can I put them in any board with the appropriate slots or are only certain motherboards compatible? Or would I be better off with a Ti 4200? The rest of my …

"Massive headache"? Native support in Win98SE and Linux, Win95 drivers in that link, DOS just needs config tool (which can be found in the Win95 drivers). Note that you don't have the exact same card, the one from that link had a YMF289 (low-voltage mobile OPL3 with slightly different timings), …

Evening All, I have a Slot 1 asus board that I want to use as a test bench for older parts that I want to sell. Most of my slot 1 processors are P3s however not P2s. I’d like to use a 600mhz P3 SL3JM which has a 100mhz bus speed. Which I believe is the maximum supported by this board. The manual …

A V2 SLI setup should be great for the Quake 2 era, a P3-600 is a bit newer than what was available when the V2 came out but still a great match. Obviously the Ti 4200 will be considerably faster since it's a more modern card, but you don't need to choose as you still need a primary video card to …

I appreciate the replies. I’ll set a reserve for what I’d be willing to sell it for and go from there I suppose! The hard drive is kaput now but the floppy drives work at least. Thank you all!

I had this vision of installing a bunch of old Windows NT and OS/2 versions on a PII PC as a sort of multi-boot "tour of unusual operating systems" machine. Long story short: terrible idea. None of the old OS/2 or Win NT versions are compatible with even 1997 era hardware for install (at least not …

So the general consensus is that you should replace your old PSU's whenever possible. My question is, how many people have actually had hardware ruined due to an old failing PSU? I haven't read many first hand stories about this, and I haven't experienced it myself. It is kind of the same story …
