Even at 690 Mhz OC you will not gain much more FPS... Upgrade to Slot A 😉

and if youre lucky, you will enjoy incombatiblities with many older drivers 😀 Maybe there is another catch, if you have no PAE aware Applications, just use the Memory over 3,25Gb as Ramdisk and place your Pagefile on it. So you can use it with "some overhead"

i get an average Framerate of 10 fps on a Dual Coppermine 1Ghz, 2Gb Ram PC133, VIA Chipset, GeForce 6800GT 128Mb DDR1 (Leaktek). Maybe it crashes currently sometimes, Power Supply turns off.

microdrives are not suitable for long run times.. like playing long game sessions. especially the IBM/Hitachi ones < 1Gb. They were build for short data bursts like digital camera. The Bigger Seagate Drives have better mechanics (4Gb,6Gb+) i use 2x 1Gb CF-Cards in my DX4 100Mhz, without any issue. …

And Harris 286 25 Mhz is an awesome retro gaming machine. It pretty much runs smoothly any DOS game that does not use memory over 640 KB. My 286-16 has 4Mb Ram. A 286 can Adress up to 16Mbytes of RAM, if your Board can handle it. So there is no Problem running Programms requiring more Memory then …

You could try the Intel PnP Manager Software, this one should work with Soundblaster too and requieres no 386 CPU.

I assume you have tested everything in your spare Mainboard. So it looks like your Mainboard is busted. So next step would be to hook up a logic analyzer... Did you measure the Resistance of 5V to GND and 12V to GND ? On the Mainboard ? Could be that some Capacitor failed. https://en.wikipedia.org/ …

If you use the Pentium 200MMX as Host a Laplink LPT Cable would do it too. (100- …
