Hmm, Nvidia or Matrox/ Voodoo/ ATI? The dude whom I was supposed to get the Voodoo3 from was a no-show...my Matrox now resides in my mum's PC....and I also just decided that I will be dual booting this system with Linux. this is all starting to look very Nvidia indeed...

Failing that, Gigabyte GA-5AA or GA-5AX than can be set to 140, then about six boards that can be set to 133. I just saw one for sale at a local shop's junk bin. But I decided against getting it and concentrated on parts for my PIII project instead. That, and the following review: http://active- …

G450 is a 180nm G400. G400 was 250nm. G450 is clocked lower and has less memory bandwidth than G400 MAX. The G450 is similar to a regular G400. The DDR RAM let them switch to a narrower (cheaper) 64-bit memory bus and maintain similar performance. Interesting..never knew that. In any case, I only …

I'd love a Voodoo1 but they seem to be a bit scarce now. Plenty of Voodoo3 2000's though.... might get one for the PIII system I'm building. But I'm kinda split between that or a Matrox G400/ TNT2. Theme Hospital is hilarious. Loaded it up for a bit of nostalgia....IMO it's aged well and is still as …

BTW, I've got no thermal paste on the CPU. I hope that isn't too much of a problem Brave man! too bad the motherboard I have at the moment is limited to 66mhz bus speeds....not very super 7. I have my eyes set on one of these though: http://www.duxcw.com/digest/Reviews/MBs/Epox/mvp3c/mvp3c_intro.htm

Hi. Just joined the forums. Thought I was the only one who liked to fiddle with old hardware until I stumbled onto vogons ....glad to know it's not a disorder of some sort. Anyways, this is what I have just (re)built as a retro gaming rig: "Binky" (edit 24.1.10: Upgraded and lives again!) CPU: …
