Yes I know. Information is sketchy when it comes to which C3 variant is actually supported by which exact boards. Will be interested in seeing your list nearing completion :). For now I'm going to work just on Nehemiah. When I run out of resources I'll work on the others. I'm probably just going to …

People still don't use the newest glide files... :dead: You guys need to stop using out dated/OEM drives and sys/dll files when comparing 3dfx cards unless other wise started. ?

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but VIA actually had a VIA C3 compatibility list (even though it doesn't mention which exact C3 core is supported by which board). There's a copy on Vogonswiki here , maybe this will help you a bit :). I am aware, but that list does not state what boards work …

Looks like a nice motherboard, though it isn't anything special. Doesn't seem to support AGP 2x cards though and the SATA ports are bugged if they are from VIA's own chipset. Gonna try and report how well via sata works lately. I'm planning resurrect my Athlon XP gaming rig i own once,but this time …

It is basically mounted with *really strong* spongy double sided tape on the PSU. Would you be willing to share some detailed pics of your side-mounted V2 cooling fan? I've been wanting to experiment with such a system further, I have tried in the past to use some kind of foam + mounting material …

Which of these boards have ISA slots is also important to note, as the advantage of C3 is compatibility with DOS games. Theres another list which mentions s370 boards with certain features, like Tualatin support and the presence of ISA slots here . I did start to compile a list of VIA C3 compatible …

If it's 32 chips in total, I remember motherboards having issues with such memory modules since forever basically. I did try to use a couple 64MB FPM SIMMs which have 2 rows of chips per side instead of 1 and it tended to be unstable until I switched these modules for regular ones. Could your …

Got a couple of these A bit of a gamble, since I never even heard of these before. And I don't think I ever seen hybrid CPU/GPU HSFs before and these were pretty cheap. I only intend to use these for broken or very loud VGA fans though. Also got some case fans on the way as I'm running really low on …

CNR/AMR modems at least have curiosity value. Now those were truly useless even pci modems were at least a fail safe option and didn't need a dedicated slot. Why did they even create these slots? Might as well just use another PCI slot in its place. I have a few of those laying around (they came …

Zip drives. Actually ZIP drives can be quite useful to move data around between old machines, 8088, 286, 386, 486, specially if you don't have them networked and still use hard drives instead of Compact Flash or SD cards. Same. This is what I actually use my ZIP drives for. Of course they can die, …
