I just won whatever this is. I know it's a Radeon AGP card, definitely one of the later ones, but the listing didn't say and the picture of the box didn't reveal it either. I suspect a 4670 based on preliminary Google searching. Going to throw this into the Win2k box for fun. iceq.jpg Looks like my …

I wish I still had a Pentium Extreme Edition-capable motherboard... I remember upgrading from that ridiculous CPU ("Presler XE", dual-core Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading) to a Pentium Dual-Core (Conroe/Allendale) and almost everything I did was noticeably faster. I had the PEE 965 (my favorite …

Also you keep throwing that same screenshot around and I'm fairly sure I commented in the past that I thought you used some sort of "heavily modified" win98se kernel to get it working... I'm after vanilla win98 here. Indeed it is moded, but you don't need to mod it to run it on this PC (just …

Wolfdale = 45 nm X6800 = 65 nm And add to that it's only b1/b2 stepping, not the good one "g0", from e6750.

C2E X6800 isn't the best OC'er. I got mine to ~3,8GHz (barely), but he needed over 1,6V on Vcore to be stable (it was moderate hot, like OC'ed Prescott with minor Vcore change). It was on Air, but I think the around 4,0GHz is max what is possible on water (with LN/Cascade you should be able to go " …
