Ooops, missed this reply. Thanks for the suggestions, will dig this box out again later on and give it a go. The SIS P4 board is fine with the old 3.3volt 1x/2x cards, only reason I saved the board. Yet to try the Trident 3D Image card but i'm guessing that will make the G100 look like a gaming …

I like that Compaq, remember those dumpy looking cases from then, nice save, glad it is all working well.

My DFI P5BTX/L REV:C socket 7 board, Cyrix 6x86MX 200+ and S3 Virge DX arrived from Amibay, so I built that into my sole AT case, works great and having a blast, also gave me a chance to test a few of my other skt7 CPU's, 6x86 166+ is all fine(happy), sadly the Winchip 200 is fried, no display and …

No, I'm not sure at all, only info I have is that sticker on the board. I can not seem to find a manual for the VER0 of this board. Of course the other problem is, I am working with a bunch of 20+ year old hardware that eBay sellers have said is fine,perhaps not the best place to start, but Skt 7 is …

Thanks, my main problem is that the manuals don't match the sticker on the board or the layout of stuff, the sticker does not have all the data for the dip switches, for example sw4 & 7 arent documented on the sticker. Sw5 isn't in the manuals at all that i can see. It's all a bit of a trial! 🤣

I have just built a 233MMX myself, similar heatsink/fan combo as yours, think it was originally from a celeron 600, runs so cool you can't feel a thing and thats with dirt cheap paste. I just added a bunch of scores to Phil's VGA benchmark sheet with a load of different cards without problems, add …

It's staggeringly slow!!! 13 m 51.696s, think the BIOS may have an issue with it mind you, as it is reported as a Pentium II 866mhz. Saying that, VIA CPU's are dreadful at superpi!! My C7 cpu was …

My core2quad/GTX 260 is out on loan to a friend at the moment, she actually needs the performance right now. So my main machine right now is a Celeron D 320(2.4Ghz) on a VIA PM266 board with 1GB RAM, FX5200 graphics and a 40 GB Hard disk, I actually built this machine as a bit of a joke, using bits …
