Re: Which board and OS should i use for my MMX 200 build?

I’d pick the TC430HX. It has a fast 430HX chipset that is at least on par with 430TX, working Turbo (sort of) and it’s made by Intel: these boards are solid and well documented. With OS it’s rather a matter of choice. I don’t think you miss anything by sticking to Win95 on a Socket 7, but you’re …

the TC430HX also showed the full 40gb when i booted the same Win98 SE installation on it. i just swapped from my AN430TX to the TC430HX to see what would happen. the Intel Marl locks up in the bios when i try booting drives over 32gb but the Tucson doesn't.

In my experience Slot-1 as a platform was bulletproof. If you're having such awful issues with it, I have some bad news for you... :dead: Yeah, a Socket 7 machine wouldn't be a bad idea. Be aware of storage pitfalls -- most BIOSes will have issues with drives >~8GB if not even less, and DMA modes …

I noticed that my TC430HX posts faster than the AN430TX when i did a side by side. the TC430HX posts almost instantly after powering it on, similar speed to the ASUS VX97 in my P133 build, and the AN430TX has a short delay before it posts after powering it on.

Is it possible that the previous owner ruined the EEPROM chip with a botched BIOS update attempt? No. Probably it was killed by static or accidental short circuit by a screwdriver. Anyway, it's dead and you'll have to find some dead Intel ATX board, desolder the chip and find a way to flash it with …

The TX chipset has a faster IDE controller and it can handle SDRAM dimms at a higher density. The TX board also supports 256mb to the 128mb of the HX, which while dramatically overkill, is nice because a lot of diagnostic boot CDs and basic linux distros require at least that much memory to boot. …

My Socket 7 system has a 200GB HDD (set to 32GB due to the BIOS limitations). In the old days, it was 6.4GB, which was good storage. Also, for that case, how long of an IDE ribbon cable are you using? That's got to be at least 3-4 feet from the IDE port to the CD-ROM drive and that case is pretty …
