I'm not against GA-8IEX - it's probably very good board, but why to use i845E when you have i865PE 😉 - FSB800, DDR400, dual-channel, SATA ...

I would exclude boards that do not have an AGP slot, ie: 3. MSI HETIS 865GV-E LITE [OEM]. 8. gigabyte GA-8LD533 [microATX ff]. 9. asus P4BGL-MX [microATX ff]. Believe me, you don't want to play on an integrated Intel Extreme Graphics card :) And also, on second thought, the rest of the OEMs (if you …

According to jumper manual on TheRetroWeb (for FSB 75MHz, and multiplier 2x) dip switches should be set as following: S1/1 - on, S1/2 - off, S1/3 - off, S1/4 - off, S1/5 - on, S1/5 - off Edit: @Gmlb256 sorry, you already wrote it... 😀

Re: I cant run CPU at 200MHz only 166MHz

Thanks for the video zyga64 I'll look into adding a resistor on the BF0 to see if it helps but I might need some help with which of the jumper legs to use on this motherboard I can find the BF0 pin on the underside of the CPU socket though, zwrr the setting for 1.5x uses the same jumper setting for …

There is a difference between P54C (non MMX) and P55C (MMX) in interpreting multiplier. Please watch this great explanation from Scorp: https://youtu.be/J0NLGfocviU?t=282 But this can be remedied by soldering a resistor - details also in this video 😀

Based on your screenshot - line for your card should look like: %Vender.ASUS.DeviceDesc6% = Driver4.Install, PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_6330&SUBSYS_815c1043 If you add it somewhere in the [mfg] section of the sisgr.inf file, Windows should match the card to the driver. ...But still I'm skeptical because you …

Can you identify full PCI Vendor/Device/SUBSYS string for your iGPU ? (In windows 9x you should be able to do this using i.e. Everest Home). Is this one of those: %Vender.ASUS.DeviceDesc1% = Driver2.Install, PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_6325&SUBSYS_80811043 %Vender.ASUS.DeviceDesc2% = Driver2.Install, PCI\VEN_ …

If you have another working motherboard you may try "hotflash".

There is a 4:3 setting you can use to force the screen to display all input in 4:3 format. I use this screen for my Windows 98/Win XP dual boot machine and it works very nice. Are you perhaps thinking of the U2412M or another Dell model ? The U2410 user guide that I have looked at does not mention …

Your Dell monitor will (probably) keep correct aspect ratio for 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 etc (with setting 'original'). - as those modes are 4:3. (just like mine 2405FPW and 2407WFP) 320x200 isn't :( Pixel aspect ratio is 16:10 - just like 1680x1050, 1920x1200 etc. BTW. In 320x200 mode pixels …

If you want to make this computer a DOS or early windows machine you should consider a processor downgrade. Neither DOS nor Windows 3.x nor Windows 9x support more than 1 CPU core. What's more, Pentium D processors are known for their high power consumption and excessive heat. Even worse - those …
