Re: P4/Netburst Build - Equal Amount Pleasure and Pain

What PC cases for a such system would you suggest? That question is so broad I don't even know what to say. Can you narrow it down some? . Well, something similar to this case, but with an option to install a 120mm and 92mm fans. I guess for a system like that you don't want to use a PC case from …

Anyone that recalls back in the day AMD was making this big hoopla about using "Athlon Certified" or "AMD Certified" PSUs. Looking back on that with all I've learned since then, I suspect this is what that was all about. . I think the first few generations of Athlon were more sensitive to ripple …

I did not know we were doing that too. - Epox EP-7KXA here. Bought new in 1999 IIRC. Was my main every day system until about 2003. Used multi-boot with (at different times) DOS, NT4, W95, W98 and W2k. (Maybe W3.11) Don't recall any significant issues. The caps were crap (Tayeh) but they never …

What brands of capacitor are installed? There are a few yellow caps that I have no clue who made them. They have some logo on them with a f in it. The "F" with the bars above and below is Fujitsu. Those are good caps. They are Fujitsu Hybrid Polymer. (AKA: FPCAP) I call those "Bumble Bees" because …

Actually, I am pretty sure that even those x16 PCIe to PCI adapters, or at least the reasonable ones, are electrically just x1. Meaning, the extra pins are not connected, and any card you put there will run electrically as x1. I also believe this is true. - The x16 plastic allows more cards to …

Still No. i850E chipset added PC1066 RDRAM and 533 MHz FSB support. . Pentium IV Extreme Edition CPUs for skt-478 are 800 MHz FSB. .

Most video cards that don't have a fan don't have one because they don't get hot enough to need one. If it has a fan header on the card it may be either 5v or 12v. So check before you go ordering a fan. The CFM is more important than the physical size as to cooling ability. I prefer Delta fans for …

Interesting - let us know if it works. Just be aware that if you compare the bus speeds , PCI-E 1.0 x1 (what the adapter is) at 250MB/sec is actually a little slower than AGP 1x (266MB/sec). Once you put that through a normal PCI slot, that maximum speed drops to 133MB/sec. ^+1 And with PCI …

I'm not up for a project that includes more than native Tualatin and DDR. I won't be here that long. . Things get too messy when you start talking about mods because not all boards are tried not all mods are tried on all boards and you'd have to say which mods work or not for it to be useful. . …

I wonder if there is any auxiliary circuitry missing... if not just soldering an ISA slot in one of those boards might be enough. Long time ago I thought about trying that but never did. There are a slew of SMD parts along the ISA slot footprint . IIRC mine are populated but I don't know if they …

There are plenty of general s370 lists online already. For example motherboard.cz, motherboards.org . What would have made this unique and special would have been focusing on Tualatin boards. I am not aware of any complete lists online that focus on Tualatin boards. .
