Tried re-inserting cable but only goes in one way due to notch/tab. Also some of my other fdd cables have no tabs, others have certain holes "filled in" I assume to line up with connector where the pins are missing. It's confusing to have all these variations on the cables. Going to order some PC100 …

Re: Need guidance on using phone for hotspot

I live alone so won't have a multitude of devices, just want to be able to get Netflix or Hulu on my tv. Tried a speedtest and the phone only tops out at 5 mps so maybe it's all moot, figure I'll need at least 10 mps for smooth play. Oh well it was a thought, just gonna have to move to Huntsville.

Living in the "sticks" so I can pay cheap rent but need an internet connection of some sort so turning to my phone which has 4G. Now is there anyone out there that uses their phone as an "hotspot" with a router, signal booster and etc. ? Sure would like to know what equipment you use and how the …

I'm in Alabama as well. My choices where I currently live are: WOW! - no caps Mediacom (current provider) - $35 a month for 200Mb down - supposed 2TB cap AT&T - The fastest I can get from them is 15Mb down with a no clue what they provide in terms of upload speed, and yet it is supposedly fiber. : …

Anyone else out there dealing with lack of fast internet availability? I live in Alabama USA just a few miles beyond "coverage". Best I can get is 1.5mbps on average, this sucks!!! Maybe I need to move to Singapore, last time I checked they were no.1 in high speed coverage. I keep hearing about …

Blzut3, frugality has no place here! Grab the Corsair HX1000i or that system is toast! Seriously nice rig, wish I had the "coin" to drop in a system like that.

Posted on 2018-02-16, 14:11
Since I paid a lot of coin don't want to run the V2's into the ground plus my case is crap as far as cooling so I'll start with the latest official drivers and go from there. Thank you all for the input tho.

Getting ready to fire these up for my first Voodoo experience ever but I'm confused on what drivers - so many ideas out there: fast voodoo, latest voodoo or latest in my particular case Creative Voodoo Blaster2. Can anyone advise on this please?

Had this card for awhile but never looked into this, can anyone verify what type/how much? To this point what I found is this: (2) 16mb 30pin simms 60ns latency - is this pretty much standard?

To add another modern PSU data point: I'm running a dual Tualatin 1400S on a Corsair HX750i with a home made 6 pin aux cable. Machine is loaded with 4GB ram, 4 PCI cards, an SSD, DVD, two floppy drives, and audigy front IO drive. No matter what load I threw at it (ran prime95 stress test although I …

Also glad the talk about old PSUs stopped and we returned to the actual topic.) I'd be interested to hear the topicstarter (who hasn't responded since dropping his question) on that one. His issue was that he considered Antec PSUs to be the only decent older ones, and that they were prohibitively …
What modern PSU powers your Pentium3 setups?
Posted on 2018-02-13, 15:57
I leaning on going this route after swinging/missing on NOS antecs and etc. Like to know what newer PSU's everybody else uses successfully on their upper end P3 systems so I'll have an idea what to look for.
Top or bottom mounted PSU?
Posted on 2018-02-12, 16:13
Regarding an win98 system, does it matter? Looking for some cases there seem to be better options/variety with bottom mounted designs.
