If you don't think you own UT, you might also want to check your software bundles with old hardware you might've hoarded. Sound Blaster Live 5.1 X-Gamer should have an eligible copy. OEM UTs typically miss out on the second disc (compressed textures) I do have it somewhere, but haven’t played it …

I have an oldie but goodie Gateway GP6-400 system that was manufactured 1/21/99. The motherboard is an Intel WS440BX. I know the later editions of this board supported Slot 1 Coppermine PIII's up to 850MHz. Will this early board support the PIII 850 once I update the BIOS to the latest revision? …

Real life got in the way, so the pics will have to wait till I have enough free time (won't be before next week somewhere). Dunno where I'll be taking the pics, virtually all my cases are in the attic, but lighting there is pretty poor and I don't think I want to drag all of them down and up again …

Re: I heard AMD K6+ cpus can fix the Pentium Socket 7 64MB memory cache limitation

I don't like Super7 motherboards, they tend to have buggy chipsets. But yes, I am trying to max out my PB. Though staying with a 166 will be just fine, considering it is a low end system. It did not even recognise my known working PCI Cirrus Logic 2MB non-3D video card. Who knows if it will work …

The more definitive route may be to use an interposer upgrade, like this one from Powerleap https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=45326 Looks good, I bet they're rare as hens teeth to find online. I checked. As for the part itself, the only flaw I see is the lack of heatsink clips. You're …

Is this really true? If so, what models work with a 66mhz fsb? Is a Bios upgrade necessary too?

Here's my hoard. Been collecting since about 2009. First computer I got was in the case with those sticker eyes on it, which my dad put on there (was his old work computer). I switched it to a different case I brought brand new at a labor day sale at a local PC repair shop. Case close out sale, …

In my opinion, offline servers are the best. Think of the security risk if you connect a server to the internet with FreeNas or the like. And then later when your version gets old and no longer works online, you have to worry about the new version having compatibility with your dated hardware. I'd …

First of all, it shouldn't be a problem setting them both up as CS. Second, as others have said, you'll have performance issues when trying to access your DVD burner and the ZIP drive at the same time. Third, the performance is worse when transferring data between the DVD and the ZIP drive. The …

If longer paths is all you need, why no switching to Linux? Ubuntu Server will run like a charm, esp if you do not run Xs there. For this purpose, FreeBSD based FreeNAS is what you want. Pre-packaged, appliance type install. Robust disk storage. Good performance. If you want more features, go for …
