Hi, I'm setting up one rig for DOS and Windows 98. I initially set up an Athlon XP , even tested a Prescott P4 both with SB Live 5.1 or Audigy 2 ZS. It went really well, I'm able to play DOS games in Win98 DOS Window or real DOS mode. I can even use USB mouse in DOS! But now I decided to go for a …

Hi, I have a Pentium II 333 and a Pentium III 500 Mhz fully working with Windows 98SE and several different ISA and PCI cards. In the past I had a K6-2 as main computer and then as retro rig but not now so I decided to buy a K6-2, found one cheap K6-2 533 with an ATX case, video card, hdd and memory …

Hi all, I have an untested slotcket Socket 370 to Slot 1 adapter (don't recall to have it tested in the past). It has got a SL3R2 Pentium III 500. I would like to test it but need to understand if there's any risk to "break" things, I don't want to lose my precious PIII motherboard. Any precaution …

Hi and Welcome The benefits of hording eh? The 486 case is such a 90's design complete with Mhz display. People would pay a fair bit for the case alone these days. The K6 case looks pretty good as well with the slide out motherboard tray, and from your line up you have a 486 for coolness, Pentium …

With the 6BXE; what's your board revision (seems to need v2.0 or greater) and bios revision (seems to need F1 or greater) combo, and if those are OK then the right jumper settings for 500/100 https://web.archive.org/web/19991018191756/http://www.gigabyte.com.tw:80/jumper/6BXEjp.html It's a 1.9B. …

Looking at the card I believe it's quite possible it'll only work with PPGA Celerons, not FCPGA Coppermines. Socket 370 was changed slightly for Coppermine and with many slockets you'll need a jumper to configure them for either. It seems that it was working with a SL3R2 (Intel Pentium III 500E …

P4/Athlon XP are much of a muchness. XP gives you uAGP on KT333 boards meaning you can run Voodoo3/5s on them. P4s are usually cheaper to put together overall. You probably want a GPU more powerful than an aweful FX5200 though. You already have a Pentium MMX for some DOS games, but I would try and …

Hi all, in 2016 I checked all my all stuff and was able to recover some rigs. But when I was setting up the "ultimate" Pentium MMX 233 in a Super socket 7 motherboard I burnt the motherboard (it had a K6-2 400),the P233 MXX and a Sound Blaster 16 ISA. The frustration made me pack everything back to …

Thanks for the welcome, 486DX2 66 and that wonderful vintage case is the system I like the most. It's the one that brings me back to the 386,486 years (my old 486 was later upgraded to an Amd 5x86 133). I had a lot of fun remembering MS-DOS config files. It's working solid as a rock, I'm sure I …

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've been "playing" with hardware since I was 15th, back then I owned an Olivetti 386SX 16Mhz, 2Mb, HDD 40Mb, CD 2x + Sound Blaster Pro (1.0). Some weeks ago I needed to make room so I decided to check my old stuff and decide what to keep. I want to thank Vogons as during …
