Re: Can you fix my Super Socket 7 ?

FPM SIMM is only going to work at 66Mhz. You will need a PC100 DIMM for 100Mhz FSB unless there is a setting to run the RAM at 66Mhz and the FSB at 100Mhz at the same time.

Well, for one, the newer versions of the unofficial SP3 for Win98 are pretty much trash from personal experience. Just install standard 98SE and use the Microsoft update CD... available here: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=873&menustate= And if you want USB storage support, install …

Are all the other parts known working? Any yeah.. the 503+ is really finicky about what RAM it likes.
Re: PCI slot cooler idea.
Posted on 2019-04-13, 04:49
Well, for one, just hooking up a fan to draw power from a PCI slot would most likely introduce a whole lot of noise to the PCI bus. You would need to have something with some filtering capacitors on it to make sure it doesn't screw with other stuff in the system. Plus if it shorts out.. which I have …

The only games that will sound different in regards to the OPL on the 1.0 vs 2.0 are the ones that were specifically written to take advantage of the dual OPL2 chips.

Twins. Baby ATX , Super Socket 7's FIC VA-503+’s with AMD K6 CPU’s. These should work great for over locking an AMD k5-3+-450mhz to 550mhz. Maybe even try for 600Mhz or a bit higher. For the 6x multipler, set the jumpers to 2x. I think those boards should also have a few settings that are above …

What happens if you set up a Smartdrive cache for the CD-ROM drive? What PIO mode is the IDE controller set to in the BIOS? What does Windows say it is running at in the device manager? Is the IDE controller sharing an IRQ with the video card or sound card? It sound to me more like a data transfer …
Re: Shadow RAM proper usage in BIOS
Posted on 2019-04-12, 19:30
The purpose of shadowing is to copy the hardware BIOS/Firmware to faster system RAM. With some hardware this can make stuff work faster, but it also means that you can't use those ranges for UMBs. If you really want to shadow those ranges, you may have to manually exclude them from being used by …

Pretty sure the fastest one I have right now is running an E7600 that is slightly overclocked.

Found a place selling a couple of Quadro 4 900XGL cards (AGP 4x Geforce 4 Ti 4600 equivalent) for cheap so I bought them. Just waiting for them to arrive so I can test.

Finished sorting through the last lot of old RAM that I purchased. I had already removed the SIMM style flash cards that came from old networking hardware. Found out that some of the 72-pin sticks were Postscript sticks for old HP Lasetjet printers. Went ahead and stuck those up on eBay. Most sticks …

HIMEMX and JEMMEX have different purposes. Ok.. then HIMEMX (so you can limit the amount of RAM seen by the OS, high memory, and Extended memory). And then EMM386 for Expanded memory. There has got to be a better way to do it then to have to have a special boot process because Windows 98 doesn't …
