I seem to be on a roll recently. Managed to get all this from two generous locals today. IMG_0347.JPEG ATI Rage II +DVD - Some bent pins on the main chip. When I tried to bend them back, one of them came clean off. Don't think I'll be saving it. ATI Radeon 32M ATI Rage 128 ATI 9600XT ATI 9250 IMG_ …

Personally, I think you've got a moral obligation to do it. Or is that just my curiosity overriding my better judgement? Who's to say... 😁

IMG_0332.jpeg Managed to get this for $20. Feeling very lucky. Unfortunately I don't have a CPU/Motherboard powerful enough to take full advantage of it. :) Grab a Socket 754 motherboard and a cheap high end Sempron. They are still pretty cheap. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm definitely debating if …

I got a bunch of dead voodoos from a colleague who was sort of promising to trade them for some time. I think bellow 100EUR was a good deal but I'm feeling buyers remorse already. https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?mode=view&id=155175 Some aren't in factory condition and has marks of repair …

Looks like an NVidia card behind it. Maybe a TNT2? Does that sweeten the deal for you? 😀

That's a great suggestion. I'm definitely going to look into that. Thanks!

That sounds pretty rough, you have my sympathies. I'm certainly not swimming in a sea of available parts in my area, but I will need to remind myself everyone once in a while that it could be much worse. 😀

Didn't get all 3 of these today, but I've had a very lucky couple weeks. IMG_0331.JPEG STB Riva TNT PCI - Got it off eBay for under $30. Someone had it listed as the AGP version, so I think I got it for a pretty good price. Planning to use it in my Pentium MMX DOS system. Seems to be working well, …

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is this intended to help with mobos that don't play nice with certain video cards? I've got a GA-5AX rev 4.1 and, as I understand it, using certain Nvidia cards with it might be a bad idea. If this fixes the problem, sign me up. 😀

So, I've had bad luck with the PS/2 mouse connections on a couple of my boards now and I'm starting to feel rather defeated about it. Hoping you all can help. Most recently, I grabbed an adapter for the pin header on a recently acquired PCChips M549 board, and neither of my mice will be detected. …

@Thermalwrong I hadn't spotted those chips before, so thanks for pointing them out. I'd seen that post of yours before, but I never thought to spy the model number on the chips in your pics. :) And that price is so much more appealing. Now I just need to decide if savings will offset the OCD …

My 8MB Creative Voodoo 2 has Silicon Magic chips on it (SM81C256K16CJ-25 for reference) and I'd like to do the upgrade to 12MB. The only place online that I can find them is Alibaba which I've never used before, and it feels kinda sketchy. The 2 suppliers I've talked to have really jerked me around …

I've got an A7N8X-E Deluxe that's doing the same thing. I'm running a 2500+ mobile, and even if I turn the multiplier way down I can't get a post at 200MHz. My suspicion is that it's the caps. I'm gonna try replacing them soon-ish. If I remember, I'll try to post my results here.

Hi everyone. So, I'm a little unclear... am I risking my parts if I pair my GA-5AX 4.1 with a TNT2 Pro or is it just likely to throw errors? Would this 3.3V wire mod mentioned earlier be the solution to all my problems? And anyone able to give any direction on how to do it? I am comfortable with …

Well, I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this. 😀

Hey all, I seem to be having the same problem as others have had with some Asus boards. See here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=62001 It's the exact same issues. 2 different PS/2 mice aren't detected in Windows or DOS. And if I go into the BIOS, the PS/2 keyboard stops responding. …
