Cool build,just the Pentium 4 case badge looks a bit off in there,seeing that the PC itself is a AMD.

Replace the capacitors on it and you've got a quite solid system.

Rebadge of a ECS laptop? As long as it doesn't heat like hell it's good.Also,make sure you check the caps in it,we all know that ECS uses crap G-Luxons in their boards. The BIOS looks pretty neat.Nice to see a laptop using a desktop motherboard-style BIOS. For the HDD,check if the laptop uses either …

Too few PCI slots... :( 3 PCI slots are enough for me to plug a NIC,a audio card (for the gameport,I lost the original gameport bracket) and something else.Also,an advantage it has is it can be built into a Xbox case.(due to being uATX form factor) It-s DVI-I, so you just need an adapter. IIRC 2 …

Nice P4 system out there. Also,P4P800 series motherboards are very good IMO.I have the P4P800-VM as my 2nd system and it works flawlessly under Vista.(I chose Vista as XP support has officially died on 8th April 2014)From the BIOS I could tell it came from a T-Systems MT40 PC. Anyways,I don't get …
Re: A 2000 not so "budget" gaming build.

IMO "not so budget" for 2000 would probably mean splurging on first-gen Williamette hype and puting in a 3D Prophet II, Sound Blaster Live 5.1 + LiveDrive and going for the dreadful RDRAM and a Windows ME/2000 dualboot, all ready for hotly anticipated titles such as 007:World Is Not Enough, Obi-Wan …

Nice thread there. Got a P4P800-VM here,running Windows Vista Home Premium on a 80GB Western Digital Caviar II SE (SATA). Anyways,try managing the cables a little,it's pretty messy in there.

Does the NF2U Asrock support SATA II? I knew only ASUS boards with onboard SATA chip (Promise or JMicron)can be modified to use SATA II.

Agreed.Here,from where I get my boards,Socket 7/Super Socket 7 is long extinct.Very very very rarely one or 2 appear.Generally Socket 370 are a bit more popular,along with Socket A.S478,it's pretty rare too,as I haven't been able to find one recently,and generally most of what S478 boards I got …

Alright,installed Windows 7 Lite on this system on the 10GB HDD.I really have to say,it's pretty fast,much like my Sempron 3400+,which also runs the same light version of Windows 7. Also,I read somewhere here on the forums that stock Intel coolers for Socket 370 are loud.Is that true?

So far,just the CD booting has a problem in which only certain discs boot (mostly those which have a boot menu,like Windows 98 SE,LastXP v17 and Linux distros that have a GRUB boot menu)but I got around that by using PLOP Manager,which is based on Linux.Not …

7 won't boot until there's a valid MBR.I'll try XP though. Also,the chipset heatsink is there on the board.It doesn't use any fan.
