Actually it's kind of the character of vogons that you find Very Groovy Things by accident, and over time. Found the wiki yet?
Re: What is this video card?

The silkscreen DML-1628 brings up 'ATI 9200 Series' but much of that seems to be the same source repeated. Do get two different cards on ebay though. Search 'DML video card' brings up same.

Re: Planning on Pentium 1 build... Suggestions?
Posted on 2015-11-18, 15:07
Aren't some of the Pentium and MMX CPUs locked? Last I searched, the lore was that many P133 SY022 have disabled BF1, which is multipliers 2.5 and 3.0. There was a theory that the disabled chips may be the ones imprinted "i133" on the back, whereas "iPP" are good. My iPP runs 2.5x66.6 fine. (3.0x60 …

Is it? I cant find any that match visually. Welcome to M64! Possibly this was the most varied card produced -- someone else here likely knows better, but safe to say there are /lots/ of M64.

Re: What terms do your country have for these classes of machines?

TELEPACMAN, do not misunderstand me. The "custom car" example is meant as an illustration of how the term is used, not as a strict analogy. homemade cars? When I was younger these were almost always called "kit cars", and you certainly saw them around. EDIT: hah - brostenen slips in first!

Custom, when compared to that of car's, makes me wonder still. Actually it should just be something like no-brand or noname (just like unbranded floppy disks were marketed as in the 90's). For living up to the term custom, I think it should go a lot deeper. Like doing a one of the kind paintjob and …

"Custom". (still don't fully grasp that "label") It'll be derived from Custom Cars. Perhaps this is useful. Maybe you were thinking in the sense of "habit" rather than "made to order". http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=custom More specifically, a "custom" made item will be one-of-a-kind. …

Ah. That's in the Release Notes. http://linuxmint.com/rel_rafaela_mate.php Booting with non-PAE CPUs To boot Linux Mint 17.2 on CPU which do not officially support PAE (Pentium M processors for instance), please use the "Start Linux Mint with PAE forced" option from the boot menu.

I couldn't boot Linux Mint 32-bit on a Pentium M so far. ? It ought to run. It'll be pokey, but it ought to run just fine. Is this the earlier M that has PAE issues maybe? Had Mint MATE 17.2 on my P4 3.06 2GB 7600GS. As above, it runs okay, it's just any single-core will quickly make you wonder why …

It doesn't look like I can adjust the motherboard position] Yikes. That's quite the difference on the S3. If you loosen the screws holding the motherboard just a little, you'll have a very small amount of play to shift the board around. However I don't think it's going to be enough this time. Just …
