Re: 1999 PC and the mystery of the Geforce 2 MX

Posted on 2017-02-12, 23:21

and the Voodoo 3000 wont even fit in the slot. How is this even possible? Sometimes you have to wiggle it a bit. And just to be sure, you are not trying to fit a PCI V3 into an AGP slot, right?? Edit: I overread he was using a P4 board and not the Slot 1 he was using earlier, so mystery is solved …

I think it looks very nice! And definitely loving blue lights here! I actually really like your case. For some reason your system does look pimped, but it kinda even looks period-correct as well even though it's easy to see some of the parts are newer. Definitely like how you maxed your rig, …

Oh I forgot about the fingerprints on the case lol It's a certain layer of something on the case. If I remember correctly it also made the case a bit more slippery. That CPU is really neat! Too bad I don't have one of those, enjoy it! :D I had forgotten about 98Lite. I did mess around with it for a …

So if you ever happen to have any questions, feel free to ask :) Let us be your hardware angels guiding you on your way to your own little piece of digital heaven :) Haha thanks, it's mostly because I'm a perfectionist though ;) It started when I decided to refurbish my old mid-00s computer and …

To answer you both on the CPU front... yes this is indeed a 100 MHz FSB model Coppermine. SL4KL model to be exact. I only got this sucker to work on the motherboard, because my BIOS revision happened to be right in the desired sweetspot of rev P15. I believe the last update for this board, P17, …

Re: GeForce 4 MX-440 or GeForce 4 Ti 4200?

No matter how you try to spin it, the GF4Ti4200 will balance out better than the GF4MX. Or as others have already mentioned and is common knowledge here, it will fry his board or actually have no benefit whatsoever except for eating time and costing money. As a general blanked statement I feel that …

Yea that's it :) And for most of us, it's not that we didn't try. A lot of us are unique individuals and as odd as it seems, I can usually build a XP machine, at least on my test bench, quicker than sitting down and figurung out a compatibility issue with some old game. And have a better time doing …

The bottom line for me is that I don't have much time , and while you can fix many games to run under 7 and newer, I don't have the time so I just go with a XP machine . And I also like the EAX / CMSS-3D support, of course there is ALChemy, but again I prefer things to just work. This is exactly my …

Out of curiosity on that point, can anyone think of any games that work correctly on XP, but *not* on 2000 or Win7? The whole "obtaining legit WinXP" thing has held me up some, too. I have a legit copy of Win2k and a legit copy of Win7 (and I think I actually have a legit copy of Vista somewhere, …

Re: GeForce 4 MX-440 or GeForce 4 Ti 4200?

Posted on 2017-02-10, 18:34

But he was asking about older games. I guess to me older means 9x. :dead: And I was not factoring in all the extra stuff you get from a GF4ti card. Still if it was me Id still stick with the 440. Why go gf4ti and not FX or 6xxx? I don't see the GF4ti being worth wile over a 440 unless your very …

Atech 384 MB PC-100 SDRAM * * Maximum supported memory configuration Let me know your thoughts. BX should support 256MB memory modules and several of them (depends on the number of memory slots your board physically has). But this is an Intel branded board and we know these did have artificial CPU …
