8 MHz with no turbo button so speed sensitive games for the original PC will run too fast.

I remember that long before they officially discontinued W98 support, the game was glitchy on that system. Mouse scrolling was broken, IIRC. I had to use the direction keys to scroll. It was still playable, but annoying.

I was actually surprised I could run dos games that require 4.77Mhz cpu on my pentium 3 build because I didn't plan it that way when I built it. It makes it most versatile pc I have built even though I would not call it perfect. Yes, I tried booting a 2.8 GHz P4 with a Dig Dug booter disk (i.e. a …

A tip for people searching for these cases. The family is called ATC-S or ATCS but the individual cases have names like ATC-500 not ATCS-500. If you search for ATCS but not ATC you will miss listings. Search both. Someone here recently mentioned the difficulty in finding a "ATCS-200". There's no …

Looks cool, in both senses of the word. Tiny AT cases with poor ventilation are a problem once you begin to add toasty video cards like the Voodoo2.

Yeah, be careful what you say on a thread like this. You don't want people to fry their systems or break their sockets/CPUs because of faulty advice. ETA: Related thread: Cooling solutions for modded Tualatin P3 1.4S (Slot 1 to S370 slotket).

Oh I had one of those. (Actually a Scanman 2000). I got it because I wanted to scan books, which is difficult to do on a flatbed scanner because of the curvature of the pages. I was hoping a handheld scanner would be better, but it wasn't. What do people use for scanning books?

The rubberised coating of some mobile phones and USB sticks also has a tendency to turn to liquid over time. The underlying plastic is undamaged however.

OK, that is a M748LMRT not a M573. We have different boards. I know nothing about this one.

It's a 7-pin header (labelled "PS1") for connection of a PS/2 port, not a PS/2 port itself.

There is a header for a PS/2 keyboard next to the keyboard connector. The manual probably has a pinout diagram.

You will need to get an AT keyboard, or a PS/2 to AT keyboard adaptor. You will need this anyway even if you get a USB keyboard working, because you can't get into BIOS with a USB keyboard. Does your computer have a CD-ROM drive? The simplest thing would be to download all necessary drivers on …

Is that a VT6202 chip? You'll have to install drivers for it.

The USB option in BIOS is for the integrated USB controller, which you cannot use because you don't have the ATX Form Card. Forget about it unless you can obtain the card. What OS are you planning to install and what PCI card are you going to use?
