Re: Newest Socket 370 Board?
Posted on 2012-12-23, 11:34
I've seen various new no-name s370 boards being sold up to 2010. So that's how recently they were made. Same with 478, you can still find new mfg ones from China.

I wonder what will happen if you put one of those modded Tualatins in a real Tualatin board though? It'll work fine. I've got a pin-modded PIII-S 1.4ghz and it worked in a Tually capable board with 0 issues. Too bad the board died, so I had to find a suitable non-Tually board as Tually boards are …

Quake 2 and HL1 would play a treat on that machine. Have fun!

Re: Video card recommendation requested - 5900U or Ti4600?

Is that all how powerful a 4600Ti is? I remember it being pretty godly... I even played Far Cry, HL2, FEAR, NFS:MW, etc @ 1024x768, at reduced settings of course, but still pretty enough.

+1 For bang for buck, I'd go for an AM3 build with a Phenom II build. Buy the processor used as people are chucking them by the droves due to the current "Core i" madness. Make sure to get the heatsink as well- you'll save some money there. Get a new motherboard with onboard if he doesn't game, a …

I see there's lots of love for the modern stuff, and some for the classics too. Allow me to try and fill in the void with a compilation of more oldschool-minded things: Manilla Road | Angel Witch | Judas Priest | Amebix | Witchfynde | Bathory | Arkham Witch | Venom | Pagan Altar | Discharge | …

Actually your Athlon XP machine is in the same timeframe as a Tualatin, c. 2002. :happy: On a related note, I think the allure of Tualatin as the "ultimate" Glide platform is slowly but surely dying off, replaced by XP/ P4 machines. In any case a jolly good machine you have there and if you could, …

I use 98SE2ME. I can't really say if it's an improvement over 98SE SP2 (unofficial) but it's nice for a maxed out Win9x rig. Bogs down slower systems though so best to use it with a P4/ Athlon XP or similar.
