Thanks, will be expecting your contact. Feel free to PM me here as well, I'm not big on checking email unfortunately, I could miss …

DX2-66 too fast for U7? Isn't it supposed to run perfectly on DX2-50? Or was that Pt.2? I forget.. 33-40Mhz on a 486 is perfect. Any faster and the world speeds up comically. De-turbo should work nicely. On my DX2-66, the system would run the equivalent of about 20Mhz when de-turboed, which worked …

A little something came in the mail today, for 3 bucks.. I don't really need more of these (I actually sold off 3 of them last year because I had too many) but I tend to buy them impulsively when I find them for cheap..

It's definitely not an issue with source content most of the time, or at least exclusively. I record gameplay and occasionally upload to youtube and my recording settings have not changed, and the quality of the framebuffer is surely not a variable, but the resulting YouTube video is significantly …

Does it have any FSB selection headers? You could wire the Turbo button to that and switch between 66Mhz and say 50MHz, that would let you slow it down from 233MHz to 175MHz, which considering the FSB difference would probably feel more like 133MHz to 150MHz.. Yes it does but would that sort of …

I find AMD's GPU Scaling option in the driver to be a more than satisfactory way of dealing with upscaling content below the resolution of a fixed resolution panel. That said, I still use a 1080p panel with antialiasing on my RX480 8GB. Given the chance, I would immediately jump ship to a 4K panel …

Nice riser. I'm sure you can find a sound card bracket that will fit the breakout board. Speaking of risers.. The guy that sold me the 386 seems to have a Socket 7 motherboard and riser as well. Not sure what computer this one is from, and I sure don't have a horizontal AT/ATX case to house this in …

I need to see a video of Skyrim actually running on a dual Tualatin system.. Probably not a lot different than using an early dual core AMD APU... which, strangely isn't much different than the CPU cores used in current generation consoles. :) That would be amazing considering how much slower it is …
