Thank you. I just found this post-Alternatives to MSD / favorite diagnostic utilities. I did download HWiNFO and used the 32-bit installer and it works very well.

Hello Vogons I am the proud owner of 4 microns systems. I am looking for utility software that will let me look under the hood, so to speak, on these systems. Major Geeks used to be my go-to source for these types of programs. Looking at their website I seemed to be too dim witted enough to find the …

I really was hoping this card would work. It is a Sound Blaster 16 Waveffects. I put it in all 3 ISA slots and windows 98 always said it was using IRQ 3.

Hello everyone I have 4 Micron computers and I would like to run some utilities on them like HWinfo32 or others. When I look on Major Geeks I only see modern versions of utilities. I have a AN430TX , a 440LX, a 440BX, and a D815EEA motherboard. All of these motherboards seem to have on board Yamaha …

Thank you, I do not have the integrated video on the motherboard. That would be interesting. I am so glad it still works. I only see 2 small caps on the board, I hope this will prolong the life of this system.

Hello Everyone I have a Micron computer with this board I got on Ebay. Can anyone suggest drivers to use for this motherboard. I installed Intel Chipset Device 6.3.0.1007 and my CD-ROM drive disappeared. It seems to have a Analog Devices AD1885 analog codex for sound. It came with Windows 98 with …

It just got here, yeah. Now if I only had a 486DX 33 to plug her in and start up Prince of Persia, Wing Commander 2, Star Wars X-wing, and Wolfenstein 3D. That and a pizza would be a fun Friday night!

I got one of these off of eBay. It is the CT4740. I have been looking for Sound Blaster cards that come with the box. I miss the yellow and blue boxes. I have gotten very lucky and found 3 so far. Thank you for a positive spin on this card, because I was happy to have the box, but I thought the card …

Dude, if you can I would suggest you get an Intel AN30TX motherboard. I have been building and troubleshooting PCs since the 90's. If you go with an Intel motherboard and an Intel chipset, everything just works like magic. I have an Intel AN30TX(Anchorage) motherboard and have had 0 issues. There …

After doing some reading on internet, I see that the SE440BX2 did not support socket 370 CPU's. I do remember getting a slotkey to put a 1.4Ghz Tualatin on one. That was fun. Back when computers were fun for me.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share this so it does not happen to anyone else. I found and ordered a Micron ClientPro on Ebay. The model number in the description was SE440BX2-ATX-PIII450. This is on the label on the back of the case. I was very excited because I had also bought a Micron Millenia …

This is amazingly quiet. I have wanted to use this computer for so long but the fan noise was distracting. I hope this machine last awhile. I have noticed on the mother board, Intel AN430TX, there are only 2 small caps. I was concerned about caps bursting or bulging over time. I have never soldered …

Thank you for the ideas for my project. Here is a picture of my solution, pre-test. I went and got #6x3/4 inch machine screws and 4.8mm rubber grommets. Here is a picture of my project. I hope this helps anyone else who wants to put quiet Noctua fans on their socket 7 or socket 370 cpu's. Thank you …

I also have a 40mm 12V Noctua fan on the way. Are the thermals on a Pentium 233 mmx enough to use a 60mm fan? I could attach the 40mm fan to the 50mm heatsink.

That looks awesome. I have a Noctua 60mm fan ready to go and when the heatsink arrives I will attempt this. Thank you so much. This is a picture of the heatsinks I have now. Looks like 50mm fans were the standard.

Can you tell me what kind of screws you like to use? I can go pick some up at a hardware store.

I am glad have a working 486. My first computer was a 486 and it was so much fun. Sound blaster 16 with ASP, Microsoft sidewinder gamepad and flight stick. Star Wars Xwing, Wing Commander, Wolfenstein, Prince of Persia, gold box D&D games. So many happy memories. Even the talking parrot that came …

Thank you so much for the ideas, the second picture looks like a nice solution. I don't have all the heatsinks in yet. I ordered one from Germany last night that is a Titan brand. It is a 60x60mm copper heatsink/fan combo. The second picture looks like the solution I can go with when the heatsink …
