Cache chips

Posted on 2011-10-30, 17:34

Ok, first of all, I managed to get my hands on a new 486 motherboard (kinda sad cause it doesn't have vlb or eisa but it's still one of my favroite boards) and I was considering moding the cache chips on it. The ones in it now are very slow (15ns), small (256k) and soldered onto the board, so the …

Hey - what do you guys think of this motherboard? Looks interesting..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aopen-DX37-Plus...3cbd010eb It looks like a nice motherboard, but I have to agree with Chewhacca on the price issue. The other problem is the fact that I don't see how the motherboard can actually take …

well whats the blue screen say?if there is no blue screen it may be power related. There is no blue screen. The screen simply goes blank now. I think I have a 600+ watt PSU somewhere around here that will put to rest any power related concerns. Now to find it. 😵

I made a second attempt and before I could see the new WEI score, it was crashing again. I'm hoping that nothing is wrong with the hardware right now. At this point i'm going to review everything I have in there to find the weak link.

It's more the total amount of amps that's required. Thank you. Once again, you helped me refocus on what's really wrong. It appears that a file became corrupt and that's what is causing it to refuse to boot. I'll post more when I finish testing it.

I added a 6800 Ultra AGP video card (BFG overclock version) to replace the GeForce 2 from a guy on eBay. I forgot that this beastly video card requires 2 independent rails though to work properly so I only boot far enough to get to windows 7 splash screen so far... hunting for a 4 rail PSU now. :S …

Any thoughts on this... I can't seem to get my 2.88MB floppy drive visible in windows. It's visible in the SCSI setup program before it goes into windows and device manager sees something as a "type 47 floppy drive" but no new drive letters are available. I currently have A: 1.44; B: 1.2; C: IDE HDD …

ASUS is harder than rock solid, i've seen asus with failing components run just fine, My friend Eric's asus is micro atx 4 phase running an over clocked 95 watt quad (with vrm sinks), blown/blowing caps, over heating FSB (about 70c). and with a medium over clock what 2.6 or 2.4 stock amd i think …

Unfortunately it doesn't have AGP pro. That looks like a nice setup you're going for though. I don't want to put in XP home because it can't support more than 1 cpu but I can't find my XP pro 32 bit version so no OS yet. I really think I'm going to use Windows 7 now.

What operating system do you plan using on it? That depends partially on what video cards I decide to keep. Desktop/gaming graphics go well with XP pro (works with 2 CPUs). I might just try out a nice linux install because they're easier than most of the windows versions to work with dual cpus. I …

My First Dualatin

Posted on 2011-09-16, 15:56

I found a new case and powersupply dirt cheap a short time ago and excitedly pieced the motherboard and drives into it (congratulating myself on being such a genius) before I realized that I had overlooked one minor detail. I forgot that the 20 power connector was located at the top of the …

GA-6OXT (or GA-60XT I dunno yet ), i815 chipset It's "ga-6oxt" not "ga-60xt" *(I hope that clears it up for you :) )... I have the GA-6OXET-C which is great with tuallys. Now, for a matter of curiosity, do you have a Turbo PLL ability in BIOS? One of the reasons I didn't get the 6oxt vs the 6oxet …

🤣 You stole my idea to make a beastly 286 (except I was going to make a 20 or 25 MHz one). Takes me back a number of years just looking at those pictures. My favorite games were Commander Keen and Duke Nukem of the ones you posted. Well done!

Could you tell me the datecode of the floppy drive? I like yours, it's all black too. Can the SCSI adapter be removed btw? I love black drives, and for some reason I keep getting blessed with them. It appears that it can be dissembled from the SCSI adapter without having to desolder anything which …
