core i3 s1150 with optional uefi support aaand isa slots! They are expensive though, about €700 each one... There is no chance that they could support dma, or not? If you mention the exact motherboard model, it would be easier to judge. I have seen contradictory opinions; but most people who …

At work we use some isa cards for peripherals control, thus we have industrial isa mobos. Some of them have Pentium 4, but some have core 2 duo. Today a new batch arrived, core i3 s1150 with optional uefi support aaand isa slots! They are expensive though, about €700 each one... There is no chance …

I hope it works! I had a similar idea so I'm building a machine that has the best win98 official-compatible hardware. That is: Asrock 775i65g r3.0 motherboard from 2012 (!!! - i865G, core quad support) http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/775i65G%20R3.0/ Pentium Dual Core E6500K (unlocked multi, 1066FSB) …

Seeing a '97 build, I wouldn't imagine it'd be ATX, very good! USB 1.0 is painfully slow. I didn't even make it work on one of my old mobos that has i430VX chipset. Only 430TX or newer has always worked for me. Did win 98se install the appropriate drivers on the control panel? You need to measure …

The company I work for is still using Core 2 Duos, upgraded from 2 to 8GB ram and from Seagate 160GB to WD Blacks 500GB. They are still pretty usable, but they are showing their age nowadays...

Ivy is supported on XP. And chipsets up to Z77, which all of a sudden I still have at my main computer. 😜 Actually, my motherboard, at XP (non x64) drivers it lists an INF driver update version 9.3.0.1019 😉 http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77E-ITX/?cat=Download&os=XP

I've watched a few 60fps full hd videos on my PC via Chrome. Absolutely no framedrops, low cpu utilization and MUCH SMOOTHER result than standard videos. Hope to watch much more of these videos in the near future.

Re: FSB: 66 vs 100 vs 133 MHz
Posted on 2014-12-04, 08:04
It would be nice as stated already to see the differences of the FSB clearly, which would be obtained only by running the CPU at the same clock and with different FSBs. The only possible combination at exactly the same clock speed and cache would be: Pentium III 600EB @ 600MHz (133x4.5) vs Pentium …

Another fun aspect to VIA Super 7 is the USB controllers tend to be incompatible with devices that aren't a mouse or keyboard. That's the VIA 586B or 596 southbridge. The usual solution was a PCI USB card. It always fascinates me to see people say Super 7 was stable and reliable! I suppose if you …
