Could you use the existing barrell battery solder points for the CR2032 but cut the connection to the charging lead, similar to what I did on this motherboard, Native PS/2 mouse implementation for 386/486 boards using the keyboard controller

Would you be willing to compare, Asus PCI/I-486SP3G - Rev 1.8 - 1994 - Intel S8423TX AGAINST Biostar MB-8433UUD using identical hardware? Preferably an AMD X5-133. I am curious about these Saturn II boards 1) because nobody seems to be using them here, 2) because they support interleave memory, and …

I found IE6 to be faster than Opera 8.5x on a 486. I'm not sure why you would have trouble installing Win95. That has always been a breeze for me on a 486. If you thought Win95 was a pain, stay away from Windows NT.

Save yourself a lot of frustration and your DIP sockets from wearing out, get a tester. I thought you had decided on one some time ago. Even SRAM chips which passed Himem could not fool the stand-alone memory tester. For such chips, Himem would only occasionally throw out an error. Did Himem …

What are the symptoms? The system doesn't detect the proper amount and shows 0 cache, or 256 kb cache? Or the system does not turn on? Or turns on and beeps? Did you tune down the CMOS timings?

51 MB/s for the DRAM - Is that the combined Speedsys speed for main memory, or just the read speed? Is that speed for the AMD X5-160 or Cyrix 5x86-120? Is the system stable using these CMOS settings? Have you been able to install Win9x without issue? What about running Quake timedemo? What is the …

I have a 10/100 Mbit ISA NIC and there was no significant performance increase over the 10 mbit ISA NIC. I don't recall the actual benchmarks though I did though, it may have jumped 200 kb/s, but I do not recall specifically. I just remember thinking "no significant increase" and the PCI NIC was …

At best, I think I was only getting around 700 KB/s transfer with a 3Com Etherlink III. With a PCI 10/100 card, I got between 2-3 MB/s. As others have noted, it depends on what size files you want to transfer and at what frequency. If you are using Windows, you'll want to check that the mere …

To what extent does the ATI HD 4000 series card accelerate Flashed-based content? Some people mentioned that certain cards only accelerate if you are watching full screen videos. What about scrolling Flash content, like advertising, or other Flash-based junk that clutters up the browser window? This …

Thanks for all the input. If there is Flash GPU acceleration, it will probably be worth the suspected 20% performance drop. So any ATI HD 3000's series card will provide Flash acceleration in Win7? There is GUI Flash acceleration for XP? What series of ATI HD card is needed for WDDM 1.1? WDDM …
