I saw that in your build there is an Elsa Winner 3000L VGA card. Since I have such a card myself, but without a bios, I would have a huge request to you: could you provide the BIOS batch of this card? For example, ripped using NSSI, or in some programmer? Hi raist, I have dumped the Elsa Winner …

UPDATE: Dear Vogons, All the upgrade parts have arrived :). The CPUs came from the United States, the card reader came from Germany, the rest was bought here where I live. (Click on the pictures to see the larger versions of them.) The changes: 2x Pentium III 550MHz (Katmai, 550/512/100) -> 2x …

PC Hoarder Patrol : thank you for the valuable information. My board is a rev 2.00 board. I have just ordered a pair of SL47M CPUs, so we will see how they will work in the board :). They should arrive in the middle of February; I will post the results here. Grem Five : yes, the 6-pin aux is only …

@Grem Five, @pshipkov: thank you for the info on the Coppermine CPU support. @Grem Five: I did not connect the 6-pin aux power cable and this build runs rock solid without it . I would like to ask one more question: have you tried SD to SATA adapters attached to SATA to IDE adapters? I would like …

@BitWrangler: thank you. Also, that comment made my day :D @pshipkov: following the link in your signature I could find the build you mentioned. Congratulations on the build! Very nice post too, I enjoyed reading it. About the CPUs: I wanted to have a build that represents a computer that would …

Dear Vogons, You might remember that if I think about retro machines nothing raises my excitement level more than a Pentium 1 build. (You can read about one of my lovely P1 build here on Vogons) This time, however, I decided to build a dual CPU machine powered by two slot 1 Pentium III CPUs. At …

Dear Doornkaat and Hellistor, Thank you so much for the answers. I have to admit I would have never figured out this "washing" thing without your help :). Regarding the power connector: I have the manual and I checked the pin layout before posting. However, the connector looked odd to me, it looked …

Hi Hellistor, First of all, congratulations on this build, it still looks awesome in 2021 :). I managed to get my hands on a P6DGS dual slot-1 board which is almost identical to yours. I would like to ask 2 things which surprised me when I looked at the board. P6DGS.jpg 1. What power cable could I …

@gerry: thank you :) @Gmlb256: I see, thank you for the response. If I may ask: why did not you just build another computer with the K6-2+ CPU and also keep the P1 machine? :) Btw., did you experience issues with some software when you used a 75MHz FSB speed? @chinny22: thank you :). I enjoyed very …

@Gmlb256: thank you :). What did you upgrade in the machine? @Caluser2000: :D, cool to hear about a P4 as a daily driver. Regarding Linux: I tried Debian really a long time ago (when Thunderbird 1400MHz CPUs were king), but it really gave me a hard time. The distro I found quite user friendly and …

@Hezus: thank you :). Would you mind sharing some details about your 233 MMX build? (board, cards, installed systems, purpose of your build) @pshipkov: thank you :). Regarding VS2005: I was curious how - if at all - this build would handle software whose HW requirement is way above than this build. …

A dream came true - my ultimate Pentium 1 build covering the 90's Dear Vogons, As my first post please allow me to share some details and pictures of my latest retro build. I say retro, however to me retro would be an XT PC build or something from that era; these P1 kind of builds still feel quite …
