I find it humorous how the person who uploaded the file is soliciting donations for copyrighted material he does not own.

Re: whats the slowest fpu performance possible on a socket7 board?
Posted on 2013-01-08, 22:52
I've got them both beat. My Nexgen nx586's have no FPU so they would be the slowest because they have to emulate an FPU in software. :P And no, you CAN'T play games with only an emulated FPU. :( what? i havn't seen nx586 and didn't expect it would run on a socket7 board. :sweatdrop: I know but I …

A 6x86-80 is still damn speedy at Zdoom (i've tested a Cyrix 6x86MX at that speed before years ago), so slowest FPU it isn't IMO of course I could (and should) be proven wrong, I believe K5 could take the 'slowest s7' cake. I have some acer socket 7 board with a K5 PR75 that could be run at 50mhz …

I wonder if they realize that telephones provide their own power for operation over the telephone lines. That is why you can still use the telephone when the power goes out. If they eliminate the old style phones and there is large scale power outage, telephone service will also go down because …

Are you trying to install the program with Windows 7? You can't use any program with a 16-bit installer with an x64 Windows 7. You'll only be able to install in a virtual machine that allows 16-bit installers.

I have an ISDN adapter with internal analog phone routing. This way I can plug two modems there and call each other locally without connecting them to the regular phone network. I saved an older 14.4k baud and a Creatix 33.6k modem. On one of my DOS systems I have installed a NCB-Mail BBS, which …

The last supported videocards for Win9x is - Radeon X8xx and GeForce 6xxx series. Plus - there are drivers for Intel 910/915/920 chipset (PCI Express), but the main target for Win9x is AGP motherboards... "Find an old machine"? The chance is too low. You must build old PC from a parts. Almost right …

You are convinced the PS/2 ports on that card are basically just USB devices? Yes, that is what PS/2 mice were identified as in Win98SE and Win2000 when I tested this out a few years ago. How can that be? The Biostar 486 PCI motherboards we have, have a PS/2 mouse port and that was before USB ports …

You'd be better off moving up to a Coppermine anyway. You get SSE support and from 800mhz up, official 100mhz bus support. Also, if you care about those things, you get better performance per watt with the faster Coppermines. So, if I get Celeron 533A which has 66 MHz bus. Can I overclock to 800 …
