that video card makes my brain hurt. Also, a quality camera phone on a tripod should make a very decent photo machine.

It seems the posts got deleted from the 480+ page ebay thread. Long story short, he made an insulting offer, backpedaled, and the ebay seller came to this site and dropped the bomb on him. With the other shady things i've read about him on other forums, I'm not exactly going to miss the guy.

windows 2000 server had PAE. It wasn't until late P3 that the need for 4gb+ ram was common enough to make a difference outside of the enterprise market, by then 64bit was around the corner and we haven't looked back.

Re: Dual Tualatin 1.4Ghz build... what cards to use?
Posted on 2017-08-26, 21:42
Honestly a V3 is a good choice. You will have a hard time finding a better card. MAYBE an newer pci card like an ATI 9200? But honestly a V3 sounds pretty good for this case.

I remember having to use a special program to emulate a mac file system on windows. i think it was an old version of macdrive pro. I assume you have actual 800k disks handy?

IIRC the LS-120 can read and write 800k/400k mac floppies. I don't have mine available for testing right now, but I remember making a 800k boot disk for a mac plus (before this one I recently got) As far as my own activity: http://i.imgur.com/NssN1KQm.jpg Recapped a MSI K7T Turbo2. Honestly no idea …

I'm quite pleased with all the conversation that erupted out of all this. 😀 In case anyone was wondering, I have one of these 3.0 cards in my machine. I literally chose the cheapest one off ebay with 4 ports and a 4-pin molex power connector. works just fine with my cell phone and card reader.

I just got this video about cheap (relatively) logic analyzers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttvgJqbCXRs seems legit.

depends on the workload. On both the coppermine and xeon, the L2 cache runs at cpu speed. 1:1 A small dos program that fits entirely into L2 is going to have equal performance. But the larger the data, the more L2 matters. I ran my xg-dls for years as a home router. It had EXCEPTIONAL low latency. I …
