I loved my Kyro II back in the day. What a great, efficient design!

Got the final parts for my special 2003 system! I will start a thread once the system is done 😀 Maybe I will add the ESI Juli@ as a soundcard 😁 @fitzpatr That seems to be a Voodoo 3 2000 (small passive heatsink)

🤣 I meant why do you use 10.2 for the 3850 AGP?

Why do you use Catalyst 10.2 ?

If you use old slot CPUs, then always make sure to renew the heatsink compound. That stuff becomes dry and very ineffective over the years!

Could it be that your Voodoo 3 3000 AGP is bent? It looks like it on the photos.

I also have an ASRock 939 Dual SATA2 and two AM2 cards. But it has broken caps. That's why I went for the 4Core Dual SATA2 instead. 😵
Re: Which one of these PCs would you keep for a downsized collection?
Posted on 2017-04-19, 18:37
I would definately keep the Tualatin system! There are multiple reasons: 1. It's a lot cooler :cool: It's an Ultra High End Socket 370 system with a Tualatin board and the fastest Tualatin. The second system is just an average gamer rig from around 2004/2005. 2. It's more rare / interesting / sought …

I have one of those Quad G200s too! 😀 I thought it could be a cool upgrade to a Voodoo 2 SLI system 😎

I just finished a system with the 4 Core Dual SATA2. It is running great, although the memory bandwidth is a bit disappointing... I renewed the heatsink compound on the cpu and the northbridge and it is really quiet and cool despite the (big P4) Intel Boxed cooler! Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8GHt 2GB GEIL …

Looks like complicated soldering work in the first picture. The second one should be fairly easy. I have spare GPUs for the Voodoo 2. If you need any you can contact me here

I bought mine in a DVD box before LucasArts closed down for like 1 or 2 bucks in the supermarket. They literally had ONLY ONE COPY in the whole bin. The rest was Mahjong and Puzzle games!! JEESH! The game has a fast pace, I liked the action sequences. I think it was shorter than Monkey Island. …

Not from the dumpster, but I "found" this stuff in my own storage room which I only have access to once or twice a year (it's 5000km away from where I live.) CameraZOOM-20170204005251156.jpg It's highly likely I have the box for the Voodoo Banshee (top left, a Guillemot Maxi Gamer Phoenix) around …

What if we just make a kickstarter? We have the DESIGN AND We have the BACKERS I see no problem! Just get estimates from PCB COMPANIES and start collecting orders. :cool: I am mostly writing this because I keep reading about people who couldn't order one in time... This should be solvable, vogons!!
