Guess what? I started my own business a year ago and it's a computer repair business/shop. After a year, I'm still not quite breaking even. Maybe January will be the first month where I make any profit. The rest was a pain and I spent 90% of my savings on keeping the business alive. The problem in …

CT2600 is a Sound Blaster Pro 2 Deluxe. I just finished Wolfenstein 3D: Episode 1 and sound is perfect. Very happy at the moment 😀

The problem with looking at "sold items" on ebay is that you don't know how many of those are non-paying bidders. Happened to me as well and I hate it when it does.
My CT2600 is alive.. or is it?

My dad bought it for me back in '94 or '95 and it functioned perfectly in my 486. I later upgraded to a socket 7 Pentium and kept the sound card. One day sound just stopped working. I could hear default Windows sounds but couldn't play MP3's (output was garbled). So I concluded that there must be …

If there's Ethernet, you can connect to the internet... if you can't find out what network card it is, you're gonna have to open it up and look. Finding drivers shouldn't be too hard after you ID it.

First of all, look at those two... same model number but slightly different cards. Anyone know what the actual difference is? http://shrani.si/t/38/ji/1LfwPqkf/ct4810.jpg Three Live! cards with different model numbers: CT4670 (1998), CT4830 (1999), SB0220 (2002). Which one is better? http://shrani. …

The case is beautiful and the rest of the stuff looks worth keeping. Maybe you should just get another 486 motherboard, if you don't like this one?

I don't get it why they say it'll work on Win 9x when in fact it doesn't? Same goes for CPUID and HWMonitor...

Try Speedfan , superb little program with compatibility all the way back to Win 9x. No bling bling and gets reasonably accurate temps. http://s11.imagestime.com/out.php/i911300_Speedfan.png Make sure the CPU heatsink doesn't phisycally touch and cooks any of those fine Sanyo caps. Thanks for the …

Oh, I have a K6-2+ 550 on the way :-) I'm currently using 2x 256MB PC133 and it's bloody fast as it is. Especially with the 'new' hard drive installed. The only version of HWMonitor Pro that will run on this PC is 1.07. All the others just give me the blue screen. Here are the idle temps: TMPIN0: …

- The temp reading is real: Some heatsink clamping problem, overvolting. Looks like one cap was in the way preventing the heatsink to make good contact with the heat spreader. I pulled out the copper version of CNPS6000 and cut off a small piece. Tomorrow I'm going to lap the heatsink and reinstall …
