Yes, I was using XP 2800 and a 6800GT on a 300W PSU. My opinion is that people are worrying too much about PSU power. Never had or heard anyone have any real problems with it. Yes but did you run your 2800XP on a KT133 based system as they tend not the have the 4pin 12v attachment on the …

GF4 MX4000 PCI is a lovely card, i wish i had one. i believe better video hardware support compared to the MX440 etc. Lets not forget the Radeon HD 4350 PCI Edition http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-hd-4350-pci-edition.html or Radeon HD 5450 PCI Edition http://www. …
G200 PCI SDRAM piggyback.

Dear All, The time has come to get to some testing, but i need 16MB on my G200 PCI. I have some spare SDRAM form onboard G200's from Slot1 machines that i can use. But i like to get the G200 piggybacked instead of using the expansion memory card to utilize 16mb ram. since i cannot get the extension …

Re: Video card recommendation requested - 5900U or Ti4600?
Posted on 2012-12-02, 19:03
i would prefer titanium gf4 over any fx, even ultra. i am not a fx fan nor aa fan. i do not know what driver response you have on the gf4 vs the gffx vs the older athlon platform? is there much difference in loaded vga silence between both, does the ultra have a build in vacuum cleaner?

who needs pentiums. the 286 386s are just awesome. when you want to use real slow speeds there is nothing but the real deal. any emulator also has no charm to me. luckily i have a real 286-25 😀

Elianda, Of course i was joking, i thought everyone knew this. Nonetheless, it is pretty amazing that any pentium running stock clock and disabled L1 L2 cache is bringing it so low to 386 regions. Most 386s i have seen even havent got any cache mem, and they run a 16 or 32bit memory bus, the pentium …

I see the K6-2 is performing relatively poorly compared to other slower Pentium cpu's when disabled L1 or L2. Btw i see that most pc crippled down by disabling cache are just a tiny bit faster than 386 SX's and DX. Just imagine what power you would have back then when you would have a 386 with 256K …

mrTentacleguy, Please try use Spinrite to try revive the hdd sectors. They may be soft errors that are correctable, it is better then just replace the disk and throw the bad one out.

Re: PSU to blame, or too many things connected ?

Like 133Mhz said the connector got corroded or was not so tight fit with vibration causes tiny sparks and in return causes heat. The heat causes black connector molten, stiffy cable, board brown by heat for long time. Youre lucky the pc did not catch fire. There are connectors from psu's that have …

I know most people dont use any protection, but this can cause a problem sooner or later. Even when do not feel it, you can get it. Touching the case when grounded is ok, but you need to stay in contact and unplug the power cord. And why does everyone know that it is a problem to remove ram or cpu …
