Re: Any way to scan for viruses ?

Pretty sure there isn't going to be anything that work with Windows 9x or older. XP is probably the oldest that you would be able to use a newer scanner on.
Re: What is the (real world) difference between these CPUs

If you look up the datasheet for the CPU, you should be able to figure out what pins to connect in order to force 1333 FSB.

I don't think they had one. I found a FAQ from late 1992 and it only mentions calling them.

I wonder if the motherboard lets you set the FSB manually. If so, then you can have a nice overclock with a mobile CPU.
Re: Socket 3-7 coolers - Where to find, cheaply?
Posted on 2019-02-07, 16:01
I stocked up by buying bulk lots of coolers. Now I have so many that I probably will never need to buy coolers for old machines again. Much cheaper to go that route than to buy them one by one.

I would guess the difference between the T4500 and the fastest cpu in that list (p8600?) is ~3%. Pretty sure the difference will be a lot larger than that. Having worked on thousands of laptops over the past 15 or so years, the bus speed and the cache makes quite a bit of difference. According to …

Pretty sure it would work better if the cable(s) going from the sound card to the front panel were shielded instead of just a ribbon cable.

^^ never heard of that either. From the way the plastic panels fit together & the quality of the I/O jacks on the back, they sure weren't aiming it at the high end of the market. @x0zm: post some sound samples if you get the chance!

Is there a max size that can be uploaded to the FTP? I'm trying to upload the original manuals, XP and Vista drivers and apps for a Sony VGN-UX280P handheld and the first time I tried, it stalled at about 1GB. Trying again right now. The full pack is 2.5GB. Edit: Stalled out again at the same exact …

The drivers for that card are still available directly from AOPEN. The model number is AW35. https://www.aopen.com/US_en/index.html Go to: Support -> Resources -> Download Once there select "Sound Cards" in the "Select Product" dropdown. Then select "AW35" under the model number dropdown.

It has an Intel Core Solo U1400 w/ 1GB RAM and 40GB HDD. Intel GMA 950 graphics. It isn't really meant to be a gaming handheld, but I'm sure it can do a few light games or older games. Once I find a recovery disk for it (if there's no recovery partition) I will wipe it and start fresh. Funny thing …

Kind of curious if there are community repos or custom roll-up packs for old Windows versions? Like, has someone made a community final service pack for Win98?

Well, well, well. All this talk of a high-end XP machine got me thinking. I will have a spare Intel x79 system with a 4930k CPU hopefully today. (My current system). I just checked for drivers for the chipset, etc. and they are all available for XP. I knew x58 had XP drivers but didn't realize that …
