I did find these drivers. Listed on the Dell website. I will try these later. https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=r19300 Here, I uploaded this to my google drive. Everything you need is in this file. Now there might be some redundancy but anyone with the ability …
Re: Fastest graphics possible for a p2 400 mhz (Asus P2B mainboard)
Posted on Yesterday, 22:00
I think compatibility is the best thing to consider here. You can buy fast AGP cards that will work but you could be wasting your money as they wouldn't be fully utilized. As others have said the Geforce 4 MX 440 is a great card for a P2-P3 system because they are still fairly cheap and they will …

Well did you check Device Manager ? That reg fix is mostly for when no Drive Letter is assigned (not visible in Explorer afaik) Yes I already did all the things you suggested prior to posting this. Thank you though. OK, do you/did you have something similar in your Device Manager as I do ? Without …

Hey guys! So I've noticed this weird quirk with regards to my DVD optical drive in Windows XP with a motherboard I'm using for a retro Windows XP gaming system. To start, this issue has happened with more than one DVD optical drive, both IDE and SATA. System: Motherboard: Foxconn winfast nf4uk8aa …

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 …

Weird issue with the optical drive. Works fine in Dos but has issues with autorun in windows and loading software.

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 …

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.

My hands are getting worse as time passes, like if they were bad enough, I damaged an A7N8X deluxe 2.0 because I damaged on trace on one of the two capacitors on the left side of the memory slots, and now, the board only recognizes the memory on the first slot. So maybe other caps on your board are …

I have enough experience to competently solder through hole capacitors and I did check and reflow the solder joints. I think maybe I did something to the North Bridge because it was glued. It's ok though, this was a more of a fun side project. Everything else still works fine.

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 …

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 …

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 …

I had a P4 2.8 (Northwood, 800MHz effective FSB, HT ) on an Asus P4P800 with dual channel DDR SDRAM and that thing was, IMHO, quite fast for the time with a Radeon 9700 . I had upgraded from a 1.4GHz Tbird with SDRAM on a KT133A based board with a Radeon 8500. Yeah the 2.6ghz cpu and 9600xt helped …
