Re: Socket 939 XP project

Is that the correct memory slot occupation for dual channel operation? Yes, back then you didn't have to keep a slot between them. They were side by side. Unlike now where you have Chip, slot, Chip configuration. Also I would have figured it out by now anyway since the post displays if memory is …

Re: Socket 939 XP project

I would be careful of those sata -> molex adapters. They're known for being improperly made, arcing, and catching on fire. Would phase them out with newer drives or try to find/make crimped types rather than moulded. Nice setup though :) I had a 939 system myself back in the day. Started with a …

Re: Socket 939 XP project

So all the parts are in now and the system is finished. I did replace the CPU with an Athlon 64 4200+ Dual core which has pretty much the same performance of a 3500+. It was only 9.00 CAD so why not? I also took out the slow IDE HDD and put in a SATA SDD Samsung 860. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ …

Did you forget the photos? No, I just don't have it all assembled yet. It was easier to use some of these stock photos, except for the chassis of course. If you can't see them, I don't know what to say, they're linked to my Twitter account. Once I have it all in the chassis, I will take a photo.

Motherboard Repair.

Greetings and Salutations! I recently re-obtained my old motherboard from my in-laws. They've finally decided to stop using that old Athlon XP 2800+ system. Anyway here is my issue. I noticed that the capacitors around the CPU socket were all bulging and some had leaked. I cleaned some of it up …

Re: My 1990-2000 gaming rig.

That's a very nice system which should be highly compatible with every game you throw at it. I would possibly suggest replacing that Ensoniq Audio PCI with a Sound Blaster Live! card for a better EAX experience. While the Audio PCI cards do support EAX, they only do so in software, which puts …

Re: My 1990-2000 gaming rig.

Dos 6.22 installed on 2nd HDD. All soundcards connected with 3.5mm cable through line in and out. All work perfectly. In DOS, just had to edit the Soundscape initialization batch file so that it did not set variables for SB emulation. Disabled SB emulation in the soundscape.ini file. Here is my 3D …
