Final pic. They're not kidding about this. It weighs dangerously more than my 55lb 19" Viewsonic.

Got it. Thanks. And "more boxes" is good. It's always a very good thing to have spares.

I am leaning heavily in making it a dual boot system. All I can think of for reasons against: 98 cannot do the later AGP cards that you will want in XP. 98 does not play well with over half a gig of RAM, whereas XP likes about 1.5 before diminishing returns. You /can/ dual boot, it's just they're …

I use that monitor too, very nice. I just tracked down the service manual. It was a bit of dig so here's the link http://www.go-gddq.com/upload/2009_07/09072809483382.pdf It's missing the first page, which is weird, but the parts list at the end makes it looks like it covers model FB775C-EA and …

2002 IBM G78 17". So much better than these pics. This one is total eye & finger candy. Tried adjusting it today. I always felt it should be a bit brighter and a bit sharper. It's not bad, it just doesn't have that 'snap' that a great display has. The colour balance and dark-light range are …

There's more than a little noise online about dud 7600gs. I went through my own hair-pulling trying to get rid of in-game artifacts on my P4R800-VM. Tried better powersupplies, config changes, physical and software reinstalls, older driver, memtests, yada-yada. Eventually tried the card and RAM in a …

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_III A notable stepping for enthusiasts was SL35D. This version of Katmai was officially rated for 450 MHz, but often contained cache chips for the 600 MHz model and thus usually was capable of running at 600 MHz.

It seems that MS-DOS 7.1 could be a good choice because of FAT32 support. Does it have any problem with hardware drivers (like sound cards)? See Phil's post just above: "can't report a single compatibility issue" He's been at this a little while: http://www.philscomputerlab.com/ Also here on the …
