Meh nuthin wrong with the board you got if you dont plan to play anything from like 2000 on up. Stick with most of the build, but up the cpu to a Celeron 433 and stick either a Voodoo 2 in it or buy a Voodoo 3 and you will be set. Sadly here in Romania there aren't any Celeron PPGAs (i.e 433 …

This is all I could afford,and by the way,probably upgrade it to a BX.BTW this processor is the only I have,might get though a Pentium 2 350MHz and house a Pentium 3 550 in it (they're the same at casing,except the 350 is easier to mount and unmount)

Try SP2 and post the results.Apparently,SP3 has some problems with old systems,and probably that's why.

I'd reccomend you this LX spec,even if it is LX it's good for gaming. Motherboard:ASUS P2L97,it works very good,even if LX :D Video Card:Geforce 5200 would do it the best,even if I don't have it I heard good reviews about it Sound Card:your choice Memory:Probably you'll only get to have 384,maximum …

ASUS P2L97 works fine. ATI Rage IIC 4MB runs fine. S3 Trio 3D/2X onboard (not integrated on the motherboard) runs fine. S3 Trio 64V+ runs very fine.

Nice!Might give that a shot as soon as I repair my PCs to reflash the PCChips BIOS.If not,a Pentium II might be fine for DOS gaming or Windows experiments (Windows 98 hacks 😁 )

What didn't deserve to die were for me a Pentium II board which I got from someone and repaired it,so much time of work,destroyed in seconds:depressed: Another one was a LuckyTech P5MVP3 which died after a broken capacitor.So sad,it was my first ever custom built PC and it died.😵

Yeah,nLite 😁 Used it on a AMD K5-PR100 PC which had 48MB of RAM.I had to wait a good 5-10 minutes to load even Internet Explorer 🤣 Also,are a ATI Rage IIC video card and an AMD K6-2 400AHX processor rare?

VIA133 chipset actually,but what's weird is that the PCChips m577,despite being AGPPro PC100 it takes single-sided PC133 RAM. After getting my PII-400 (I've ran one before with a XP and was happy of results)I'll test all the 3 sticks of RAM to see if it recognizes the 384MB RAM. I have some Windows …

Yeah,the Delux one is on a PCChips M577 mobo along with a K6-2 400AHX. I'm so excited to repair my PII board.Also I've got a original SB16 value soundcard for it.Not sure about the processor,but might get a PII-400,and if the board supports,i'll fire up 384MB of PC133 memory and Windows XP SP2.

Well.all the times I used it worked flawlessly,so there isn't any problem using it,and even more for a Pentium II.I have a Delux (Romanian company,I'm from Romania btw)which consumes so much that I replaced it with this Codegen one.

Also,until I get the voltages and uF I'll concentrate on another board which has all the caps installed,a ACORP 6BX/VIA/ZX81. I equipped it right now with: ATI Rage IIC video card Realtek 8139A video card ASUS CD-ROM 350w Codegen PSU. What parts are missing are the Pentium II slot processor (the …

No,there aren't.I'm looking to recap it back as took from someone that works at a PC company and there they disassemble old boards.I have to recap half of the board to have it working,and also solder a coil next to the CPU,which is missing.

I sadly can't as I don't have any photo camera,just my webcam. The motherboard hasn't got any marks other than a revision number,v1.21. Also,other than the SiS 630 mark there it says on the chipset: (C)(R)SIS '99 BKA0395Z 0010EX A1. The board itself supports Slot 1 processors and even Tualatin …
