Wouldve been surprised if it WAS skt5 - wiki lists the 133 as a skt7 chip (and the fastest skt5 as the 120). CPU-Z and GPU-Z are not always the brightest bulbs - in general best to check machines over by hand when possible. Socket 7 wasn't launched until the release of the Pentium 133 chip in the …

I just checked the physical socket also just to be extra sure. It is indeed a socket 7, wow dude! YOU ROCK! I am SOOO happy I can actually go ahead and upgrade this packard! Good to know Packard Bell followed the industry practices at that time and didn't put a Socket 5 board in a 1996 machine :) …

According to the manual: http://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/archive/POWER_U … el/28182101.pdf Splitvoltage of 2.8v is supported. MMX CPU's are officially supported. Just go ahead and buy a 200MMX or 233MMX. See pages 32 and 33 for jumper settings.

There are some misinformation that needs to be cleared up here. How hard is it going to be for me to find a socket 5 to socket 7 adapter? should I just buy a new motherboard and try and fit it in? Finding a Powerleap, Evergreen or Kingston TurboChip (or a Japanese brand) adapter is not that hard. …

I don't mind using the PowerVR PCX1 and PCX2 with the Geforce. My main reason to have a PowerVR card installed is to play the PowerSGL games. So I don't mind that the Direct3D capabilites of the PowerVR card does not work with a Geforce card. I have the Geforce and/or a Voodoo card for Direct3D. …

Here everyone is going to come with their suggestions and they will all be different. I've personally tested alot of cards with the PowerVR PCX1 and PCX2. There are not that much differences in terms of performance. What you have to be aware of is: - If you pair it with a geforce card of any type …

You're right. It seems to be a 16 MB card :depressed: At least this is what 3DMark 99 Max shows in System Info. Quite surprised. Didn't know that G450 cards also come as 16 MB versions. My card is also a 16MB version. I guess that is the reason why you can't run in higher resolutions in 32bit than …
