me personally had 2 386 (a 386dx 40 and a 386sx 33 in a beautifully small motherboard) and i sold both because i couldn't find an use for those machines. on the other hand, i have a 386 laptop that, to me is wonderful and, while i can't find an usage, it is very interesting to me

i'm bad finding things on internet but, i think that the bios update may only be useful for hdd up to 32GB (the next limit) in which case you may find a smaller hdd or use a Dynamic Drive Overlay such as EZ-Drive, but you may not be able to use any os other than DOS and Win9x

you might be having another problem or conflict, because with the latest drivers from intel for XP you get OGL support and it works pretty fine. i'd say try reinstalling windows or with an older windows and the latest drivers to see if it works

Correctly configured, it will delete all the installed hardware, and when you put the hdd on the new machine it will detect and try to install everything for you. However SysPrep is an utility for creating windows os images for deploying on multiple computers. It is recommended to use it with a …
Re: Should I add Crossfire to my single HD6850, or upgrade?
Posted on 2018-12-26, 14:20
V2 sli is a beast on its own but simply because is more up to the drivers to support it than for games i think most crossfire/sli setups, while performing better than single card, are less compatible and the game has to support it specifically, making them more troublesome i will avoid crossfire or …

hi, I bought a computer lot, I mostly play with these a little bit and then repair some parts and sell them. however I keep some parts to myself, one of these is this video card, it's an XFX GeForce 7300GT. I know that is low end and everything, but 1st: where I live is extremely hard to find …

Posted on 2018-12-20, 17:44
i had two, one from XFX (damn, they used the same board layout for the gf2 mx400, the gf4 mx4000, the gf fx5200 that i have, the gf 6200 and even my pci-e gf 7300le) and the other from biostar, the problem is that with that bus only old games run great, i had it in a system but I've disassembled …

ohh the FX 5200 64bit is not that bad, there is a worse card, the MX4000 32bit regarding to the 6200, i had a XFX geforce 6200 (NV44) which had the universal agp keying and worked just fine on everything from i440BX up to i865 in every mode possible (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x) what i did notice was that it was …
Re: Aladdin IV max cacheable ram amount
Posted on 2018-12-19, 16:40
it has 512KB of L2 cache and the tag chip is "UT61M256JC-12" it seems to be made by utron but i can't find anything more useful, also it has 28 pins.
Re: Aladdin IV max cacheable ram amount
Posted on 2018-12-19, 16:11
so... I have to check which tag chip does it have and the right amount of L2 cache from what i've seen, there is no way to change WB or WT in bios

Hi, I have a PCChips M560 motherboard which has an ALI Aladdin IV chipset the other day i was working on it when I felt that it was running really slow, I thought it was beacuse of using an K6-2 at a lower FSB (83.3) but then i've put an PMMX and the same results. there's also the posibility of that …
Re: modify bios to add support for newer cpu's
Posted on 2018-12-19, 13:44
it seems that the biggest problem should be support for the new voltage bits and the way the processor starts may be a problem, anyway I've seen biostar motherboards with the same chipset as mine and with support for c2q, the same with an i865 mobo that i had, wich suggests that the chipset …

hi everyone i have an asus motherboard, it's a P5VD1-X, which only supports netburst 775 processors. i was wondering if it was feasible to add support for a mere Pentium E2140. i know that this processor uses the core architecture, and has lower voltage and many other differences, but is much faster …
