The aux near pci is likely for 3.3v pci cards, but doesn’t seem as if the PSU has a 3.3v aux. We’re 3.3v only pci cards ever popular? Seems most are keyed for 5v and 3.3v, but rarely just for 3.3 V

I've been using POS2009 on my XP system (Opteron 185) for years without issue, but when there were a few updates which didn't work right sometime in 2018 or early 2019, I had to do a system restore using XP's restore feature. The restore worked, but I've had these errors ever since. Unfortunately, I …

Reminds me of the VS440FX's clock gen. Not sure what test mode is for. Did you get around to weighing the one system? Is it 56 lbs or 40 lbs?

OK, so this is probably 3.3 V to the CPU with no split voltage. So if the board use up to P200, I'm guessing there is a multiplier jumper block somewhere? The absence of a jumper block has often been the stopping point for using higher than a P100 on socket 5 boards. I'm a little confused as to the …

I'd buy sockets whenever possible, even though the amount of work to desolder and solder the socket is about the same as the flash replacement.

Fantastic, thank you! What is unfortunate, though, is that W2K and even NT4 frame rates are well below those from Win9x. I didn't notice this kind of drop when I used the Matrox G200 in Win9x vs. NT4. The frame rates were about the same.

Onboard SCSI though, and onboard diskette controller. Is the battery mod procedure for the DS1587 the same as the DS12887? I'm glad its socketed at least. 1. Socket 5.. not 7 as I thought. I wasn't aware that there were 200Mhz Pentiums in Socket 5 format. yeah, curious. Do your Pentium 200's …

I count 32 units, but the seller said he would pick the best 20 as some have cracked bezels. He said that some have one CPU only, but I'm assuming that the board still has two CPU sockets? CPUShack on CPU-World may be willing to buy the lot if there is sufficient interest. If each case is 35 lbs, …

Thanks. Disabling Vsync on the S540 didn't alter the scores at all. It also looks like the GPU is running at 125.28 MHz, as is the memory. Upping the memory to 144 MHz, which I think is standard for the AGP version, didn't increase the scores either. I tried 144 MHz for the GPU as well, but the …

I find it very difficult to save the filenames for ATI drivers because it seems each driver package has three different version numbers.
