omg you cheap bastards... If the board is unstable, just recap it from stem to stern AND FUCKING BE DONE WITH IT. I bet you wankers are the kind of people that go to the tire store and buy ONE TIRE AT A TIME and then bitch about how you are at the tire store every other week. I just recapped a …

@brostenen Cache only helps when you are making lots of random reads and writes. It will never help a modern CF card. they are just too quick. They still are cool!

I wouldn't count on it. In general people in this hobby are frugal. only a tiny percentage of us will ever donate. In my case, I just don't have any spare money.

So now I STILL need to get 2x 2gb and NOW get 2x 1gb dimms. (because reasons) The box itself was packed …

I sell all my stuff as-is. even tested. just because I don't want to deal with returns. Try slowing the FSB down to 60mhz instead of 66. Even though it was a defacto practice to run 60mhz chips and boards at 66mhz, some just couldn't handle it. Also check your ram. It needs to be rated for 66mhz, …

This week I got this monster...about 15 kg. I spotted a Suntac 80286 Mainboard for almost nothing on a selling site. It was still in a case and I asked the seller to send me the case too :-) It came together with a Seagate ST-277R-1 RLL Harddisk with manual and unused plastic front. He even shipped …

checking the ram 3 times is normal for some boards. Look in your bios options for "fast post" or something to that effect. Or just not turn it off.

its extremely hazardous! I bought a whole pack of Cicso WAP's (those square while ones). Damn things weigh like 5 pounds each of cast aluminum. If one fell off the ceiling and landed on your head, I can only imagine the damage it would cause. You might get a bruise or even a couple stitches.
