Hi I have a k6-2+ and I'm thinking about getting a upgraded k6-2+ to k6-3+, but is EXPENSIVE +-150 USD if I count shipping costs and taxes. I have read that the performance gain is about 5 to 8% in videogames. How was it for you? can you detail some more about your processor upgrade experience? Its …

Looks great! I'm building a very similar system at the moment with K6-3+ and V2 SLI. Hopefully i'll find time to get it running in a few weeks. That AT system of mine has been been a work in progress over a year now. I've rebuilt it several times. Hopefully this will be the nearly finished version. …

Very nice setup, those AT cases sure were cramped when filled. Thanks! If you look closely, you might see the ide raid controller card sandwiched between the voodoo 2's. A challenge I faced was that the motherboard primary ide connector lines up directly with one of the pci slots. Problem is the …

Here I present my ongoing (never complete) Retro sleeper build. It all started with my yearning desire to relive my early years of computer gaming back in 1995. I remember my mom purchasing a ECS baby tower with an AMD 66mhz up to 80mhz turbo (forget which CPU it was specifically). This was my first …

It looks like missing green color in rgb on stb v2. Check inductors between vga and dac. Use 3dfx test tools to display colors for v2 and diagnose. Do not trust regular viewers coz video will be handled by main 2d card. You may try unplug problematic card and measure resistance on each rgb pins on …

Hello, I recently acquired a STB Voodoo2 black magic 12mb and have been testing it in prep to upgrade my win98 retro rig currently equipped with a diamond monster voodoo. Card works fine and installs with no issue but when I try to play a glide game I see a lot of pink textures. Games I tried so …

I never used USB either in those days but at this moment it's extremely important that I have a working USB as it allows me to do what I couldn't do back in the day. It allows me to use my CH flightstick and throttle on all my simulation retro games (ef2000, mechwarriror2, xwing alliance, wing …

OK, I think I'm getting closer to the culprit. Measured the pins on the usb header, both vcc pins measure ~4.5-4.8v but they fluctuate. I then ensured I plugged both usb connectors the right way according to the manual diagram and got the following: 1)My 128gb usb stick remains undetected. 2)My 1gb …

Thanks guys, I did realize the manual diagram showed a weird layout. Seems each usb connector is opposite to the other. The 10 pin connector on my USB panel is actually split in two plugs so I flipped them in the right order before connecting. I do wonder if the previous owner did something wrong …

Hello, I just got my self a PC Partner MVP3bs7-954 socket 7 motherboard for a retro gaming build. Installation has gone smooth, windows98 is set with all drivers and my 233 mmx is running at 290mhz @ 3.3v stable. Pretty happy so far but I'm hitting a wall with the USB header. I have a standard 2 usb …
