Something must be faulty with your laptop then. NeoMagic chips were the fastest 2D chips ever made for notebooks. They are 2D *only* however with absolutely no 3D functions. I remember using this gpu on one of those old Sony netbook back in the 2006 and I remember (but I could be wrong) there were …

UPDATE: I finished building this main/only office machine based on the Asrock P4i65G (i865 Socket 478) as I was saying for now with the Prescott 3.0/1MB/800 but next week I'll get the 3,4 /1MB/800 version probably the best I can test. I am using two identical Dual-channel Corsair Value CL3 1GB …

Hmmm I never realized that EE edition existed. If it has the same voltage requirements I bet it would work. Their prices seems to be excessive anyway and I don't know if the 1MB cache more on this P4 did some differences. Should be interesting to compare a the 478 1MB cpu with the 775 2MB at the …

The G2130 is 2 core, no HT, 3.2GHz (and is Ivybridge, so it would appear the board is already BIOSED for them) … I tested my 1155 with a cheap G630 and went all the way to an i7-3770 Not worth getting a K model, as the H61 chipset doesn't support the unlocked multiplier. The G2130 isn't bad for a …

Hi, I got for cheap a Pentium G2130 on Socket 1155 and a Asrock H61M mobo that had problems and probably not working but I found that many pins on the socket has been pressed and had to be fixed. I was surprised to see that now the board is perfectly working with this cpu. :) I've seen that the …

The mobile 478 CPUs aren't electrically compatible (see Socket M for example). With a Socket 478, CPU choices are, unfortunately, very limited. Pentium 4 EE is probably the best thing you could fit in such a board (if compatible). Pentium D CPUs are all on Socket 775. i865 motherboards featuring …

HI, I wanted try the best 478 cpus for my Asrock p4i865g and i was thinking if the rare EE 3,4ghz 2mb l3 478 is much faster of the 3,4ghZ/1mb/800 prescott lready quiet rare itself. Also the first it's not listed on the cpu support list, would it work? And i have seen these Core2 T5500 478 cpus, is …

Thank you. I would use the q6600 cause i already have one also quad 2,13ghz/1333 775 cpu i dont remember the model. About the power supply the problem will be the case that is too thin for a standard power supply. The mobo has the usual 24pin connector.

I imagine the Matrox choice will be a good one. For windows 95 instead which 2d/3d combination would you choose? I have a Voodoo1/2 PCI, also a Matrox M3d even if it will need a much faster cpu just like the Riva128 will need.
