Re: odd garbled font in VGA mode

I think I recently (and I mean like under a week ago) came across another thread on vogons with someone who seemed to have a very similar issue to you. Even the empty spots were filled up with ááá symbols like yours is here. Perhaps your 2 cases are connected in some way? EDIT: Here's the thread …

Re: Which Video Card for this Old Pentium 2

Posted on 2020-05-26, 11:22

Somebody gave me an old Compaq Presario 5665 Pentium 2 450 Mhz. I forgot how well made these old machines were. It weighs a ton! I opened it up to see what is what and found some hardware that is interesting. I can't believe the size of the hard disk. It is an old Quantum Bigfoot 5.25 series. …

Re: Latest AGP cards with PCI-EX bridge question

Hi, I have two Sapphire HD3x50 cards, those ones with the back bridge chip without heatsink on it, one is a HD3450 and a HD3650. They both run at quite high temperature considering the bridge chip itself is so hot I can burn my finger immediately. I never understood why these didn't have an …

I just looked on eBay, there are a few for sale, but the prices are not very appealing, especially for a CPU with an easily cracked core. They are in general prohibitively expensive and maybe only worth it if you are seriously after the fastest s370 coppermine for an in-spec 440bx system. Anyway, …

... like who wants to listen to old quantum fireball drives :-) Me. You don't like the sound of old fireballs? Those drives were great. I wish somebody would invent an HDD sound emulator for SD cards. I don't like the spindle noise much, but seek noises are good. The higher pitched continuous …

As you can it is very close to your score. So there was not much improvement in going with a PCI motherboard. Reading your own benchmark results really, really helps: My system memory bandwidth is 244% higher than yours. My system memory and cache memory throughputs are 35% higher than yours. My …

Nice! Also nice to see an LS-120 drive seeing some use :) The case looks nice as well. How is the build quality of your case? Did you use a 1GHz 133MHz FSB or a 1GHz 100MHz FSB Pentium 3? I assume you're not using an overclocked 750MHz model? I suppose it's a Coppermine model? Does it have an IHS? …

Your computer looks very nice for a 486 but a waste of time if you ask me because after the 486dx2-66 performance does not increase much. So it is less expensive and better to build a 1st get pentium gaming computer. And you can still down clock a PentiumMMX -233 to 386sx-33 speed. By that logic …

My Pentium 133 build that I am working with right now is a Cadillac compared to the 486. It runs smooth and powerful and cost very little. P54 builds are a waste of time. You should have gone with an MMX. No, wait, a K6-2+. No, wait, a C3. /s Nah, just go for a Microsoft AMD i11 99999GTZ Turbo OC …

Re: Windows XP refurbish and upgrade

Here´s a video about the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWvWRq56v-o This looks really nice! I like the style of how you shot the movie and the angle of filming and the atmosphere of it. The way you cut it is basically showing everything in some kind of minimalistic style, which makes it …
