Thanks for the heads up! I'll research about eligible 775dual revisions. Just received my E7600 and after fiddling a bit with the bent socket pin I managed to boot it up successfully.

I accidentally killed my 775dual vsta trying to fit Titan Vanessa L Type (probably over-tightened the mounting pad resulting in a couple of irrecoverably bent socket legs and damaged contact pad on the CPU... yes, I know...). Yet I really love this board for my experiments and right now I'm looking …

None of the settings in my BIOS took the Ezra any slower than the benchmarks I posted earlier (386DX-25/33)... but I just tested my Nehemiah and at 66x4 with caches disabled I get... 3.87 in SpeedSys, 4.6 3DBench and 1.1 in PCPBench ! Sadly the with the Nehemiah the system will freeze up if I try …

Back to my issue: it turns out, you need not to overthink (overtinker?) it. Everything just works if I leave the SATA controller in RAID mode. Even though there's no RAID, Win98 detects the controller and connected SATA drive as a SCSI device without any drivers. Also, it's indeed possible to boot …

Alright, note to myself - markings on the motherboard are the priority... I've used jumper and switch configurations from the user manual... Which is totally different. Not only switches positions, but even jumper-switch configurations. I can only imagine what poor cpu had to endure.... Well, case …

I've tried looking around, but the thing is - there's not much info about that "embedded" line at all unfortunately. On this site http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm my motherboard is marked compatible with k6-3+ processors. Again, no word on embedded chips.

Hey, I'm trying to build a k6-3+ based time machine to conserve space. Mostly I'm following Phil's YouTube guide. So the problem is I get lock up (full freeze) 2-3 minutes after windows 98se gui loaded. I have a gigabyte GA5-AA (ali 5) motherboard. I've tried several different videocards, memory …

Especially in Need for Speed 5 Porsche Unleashed. This game has fantastic force feedback (you can really feel the …

Yup 2041 is probably the best driver. Yeah. And also they don't have reversed left/right channel bug. And yeah, agreed on X-Fi headphones. You even can hear elevated effects on it (when the source is higher or lower than you). By the way I do think this is a legacy of Aureal, although people claim …

Afaik A3D sounded better when using headphones,not speakers. Yeah, correct. Well not better but this was the main point selling point of Aureal solutions if I understand correctly. HTRF algoritms or something like that IIRC. When you use stereo sound system (be it headphones or a pair of speakers) …
