Did you try turning the board on without the CMOS battery installed? No way. The only thing I see is that when you reset the bios the fan moves a bit. But no sign of life. I was expecting to at least switch on the psu or the fan even if was a dead mobo, but never seen a case where nothing start …

Hi, I found this motheroard with Nforce430 chipset support AM2 cpu up to 64FX/X2 cpu to build something a bit more modern but as usual, it can't boot. On board there's a Sempron 3200, there're no strange config or jumper to set, I tried two different psu, on board and external gpu, changed bios …

I found a K6-2+ 550 and it was not easy too, never ever seen a K6-3+ around, not to mention a 550.

I tried doing a Google search for <"sword.exe" "dos">, but that only turned up Sword of Aragorn, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, The Sword of Frost, and Lamentation Sword, none of which seem to be likely candidates. Maybe it's some ancient shareware game. I think too it was some less known …

The "proprietary" thing back then was something bad for the final customer that need a replace part but one thing I like back then is the number of alternatives with hundreds of pc builders with many different combination of parts even if/when proprietary. You'd never know if you'd find another pc …

But these extreme old configs can compete nowdays in modern tasks? The only thing holding it back is the 1.8ghz clock speed. There I'm recall you could get upto a 2.4ghz 6 core cpu for lga1207 and I upto something like 3ghz for a 4 core cpu. I bought the 1.8ghz cpu's are they pull 40w and have a …

I prefer games to work smoothly. :) True, but if a game doesn't work smoothly on any particular rig, I'd just build an additional faster one anyway :D Also the nice thing is really when they don't run smoothly so you have a reason to upgrade again and again.. it's boring when a game run fast at …

Nothing extreme but my Barton 3200+ with 2gb ram, HD3450 and SSD used with latest browsers for web and office main machine and without any other faster system to switch to if I get bored, well.. it's enough extreme to me! 🤣

First post had me thinking of Stormlord , and since you mention darkness and brownness it sounds like a good fit except for the lack of a sword. ;) But maybe you could say if it looks closer to what you're thinking of. It's not this but the general ambientation would remember it. :happy: The …
