I do have a Au8830 and a audigy 2 in my stash. The vortex 2 is more of a year 98 build witch i will eventually do. Is there anything else for the 2000 audio bracket? Are you looking for parts that are introduced exactly in year 2000? Turtle Beach Santa Cruz came in 2001 so it could be reserved for …

Looks like you got almost everything except for audio solutions. For 2000 I think MX300, MX400, AU8830, TBSC are good candidates. For 2004 I guess Audigy 2?

Lots of boards benched here using same hardware: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=39258 That's great work! BTW just another note on Tillamook MMX: its BF2 pin is located differently than an AMD SS7 CPU, but it's easy to modify the board to get x4 multiplier. Tillamook pin out: tillamook. …

For me it is Gigabyte GA-5AX rev 5.2. Very fast and stable, perfect overclocking (125MHz FSB with external cache, 135 MHz without... depends on luck of course). Supports pretty much any CPU, including K6-III+ One advantage of 5AX over P5A is the support for voltage lower than 2V. Have you tried 5AX …

Intel never made a socket 7 chipset with AGP support. It's possible to build a board with PCI-to-AGP bridge but I've never seen one. Cache & tag: the maximum latency of cache and tag chips determines the ceiling of bus speed. For example, if you have 5ns cache chips and an 8ns tag chip, your bus …

The model number is S1834, right? There are two versions of BIOSes on Tyan's FTP server, 103c and 105.

A supercomputer is high end, and can compute way faster than your machine, but they are often built using POWER chips, and are thus useless to anybody. Having 2+ CPUs or threads on a Pre Pentium 4 machine is useless. Nothing will ever use it ever. The only reason to make one is if you find the …

I have a hypothesis that might explain your trouble. It seems that the multiplier is solely determined by JP8. Assume pins 1,3,5,7 are connected to CPU and 2,4,6,8 are connected to signal source (3.3V, ground, or float). If the pins are wired as follows, and your MMX chip is partially locked, you …
