You talk about a recapped motherboard. Where would one go to do that? Just curious.

My instinct is to go with the soltek board. I just found this website. Though it looks like the cpu might work on the ABIT. http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Soltek/SL-75KAV.html

Yeah, I figured I could afford 15 dollars, if it works I win the gamble. Hrmm..... I don't gamble at casinos at all, but I do on old computer parts on ebay. That is just odd. 😉

I thought that I would try my hand at building one of these "retro rockets" I have plenty of spare parts lying around in a storage closet so the only thing I need is a CPU and Motherboard. I have just won this CPU: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280456822334&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX …

Is there another well known benchmark test that I could run to see if a similar scenario occurs?
P3 Tualatin vs. P4
Posted on 2009-07-20, 04:18
I dug two laptops out of my pile of old stuff the other day. One is a Dell Latitude C810 with a 1.13 GHZ Pentium 3 Tualatin processor. The other is a Dell Precision M50 with a 1.8 GHZ Pentium 4 processor. I was bored and ran SPEEDSYS with a bootdisk on both machines. I expected the P4 to win because …

I agree that the K6's are to slow for most DirectX 7 games, but the funny thing is I've never had a problem wtih the falky agp implementation that I have heard so much about. I have plugged in Geforce 2MX, Geforce3 ti200, and a Geforce 4200 into my board with no problem. It is a revision 1.04.

I have a super quad 2500 vortex 2 with the A2 revision of the chip. I would love to own a card with the B revision of the 8830 chip. Here is a link to an auction with the dell card. It doesn't seem to have the wavetable header which is to bad. http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-5931D-Turtle-Beach-TB400-3356- …

I have a 2000 pro. I know that everyone has been praising it, but I thought that I would put in my praise as well. I have a socket 3 Motherboard with a POD 83 in it. I love the old looking glass game Terra Nova. That is quite a strenous game for a pentium 83 (granted I played it on a 486 DX2/66 in …

Thanks for the input, from what I read you are probably right that the card will benefit from a nice powerful P4. Thats a wierd box. I have my 486, K6 3+ and then my P4 with Windows XP and some flavor of win 9x on it; either 98 or ME. I of course have my more modern machine for current games, but …

Wow I typed the title badly, it should have been look AT the voodoo card I won. Anyways I had the humerous thought of trying it in my socket3 motherboard that has a pentium overdrive in it, but that does seem a bit ridiculous.
