A Radeon 9550 did not post. Just putting the card in the slot turned off the LED. I had to revert to the old card and mess with the board some to get the LED back on. Someone mentioned trying a geforce 5200 but unless it has 64mb of RAM from what we know it shouldn't work. Because nvidia wasn't …

I printed this pfSense case that should work well with a 9250. While I wait on the 9250, I have an RV100 based card but I can't tell what this connector is. Does anyone recognize it?

I honestly don't see a reason the get anything more powerful running. If I understand this thing well enough, the CPU is the bottleneck. Only early 3D games are playable. I will agree, *Llama in my view is first of all for dos and some early-late win95/early win98 gaming pc anything faster then …

You're a genius Eivind! This board is amazing and even with all the quirks it's been a blast to work with your creation. My LED was working then it stopped and seemed dead. I reflashed the bios, cleared the CMOS and after changing the settings in that section again it came back. Of all the AGP cards …

Nforce3 to Nforce4 with X800 Pro VIVO flashed to XT to X800XL. I was insane back then and bought almost every release. I side graded after that and then EVGA let me "Step UP" two times in a row.

What about an ISA sound card like the Pico Gus that just plugs into a TPM header. Why can't we adapt Socket 479 Pentium Ms and Socket M core 2 Duos to 479 Boards. Like the CT-479 but more universal.

I like the idea of finding a use for these APU's. They seem like a great fit for older games, but benchmarks only test AAA games like Cyberpunk getting 15 fps. No one is playing at 15 fps that's ridiculous.

The card reports 256MiB used by default. I've tried other FX straps in Riva Tuner, and it was the same. Only advantage I can see to the FX1300 is the ability to run 4xAA on more titles than a 4ti. The fan is loud and game compatibility isn't great. Even still I'm sure a great deal of games that came …
