Welcome to the fourm! 😃👍 Don't let Intel486dx33's post irritate you: The Abit BH6 used to be an overclockers' favorite and is certainly one of the best Pentium II and Klamath Pentium III motherboards. In its later revisions it even was a very good Coppermine board. It absolutely supports CD boot and …

As far as I can tell there are no jumpers for voltage settings on this board. I would assume it is single voltage and always runs the CPU at 3.3V.

The answer is in the list you posted, isn't it? Chaintech CT-6VIA5T (ok, 3 PCI slots, but one is shared with ISA.) Epox EP-3VSM (same.) QDI Advance 10TM (P6V694T/A10TM) (exact amount of PCI slots, can't find pics if any are shared with ISA) Ah yes, I had seen the CT-6VIA5T and the EP-3VSM on the …

Thanks, Yes the card appears to have the components that my card is missing. My card does not have the orange connecter by the tuner, and it never did, I wonder what that is for.. lol Maybe I will try and get a se and transfer the parts over.. the se is inexpensive. Glad I could help. Hope you get …

I’ve scored Powerleap PL-K6-III v. 2.0 interposer. Still didn’t have time to test it but hope it will allow me to sport K6-2 or even K6-III in my Socket 7 Olivetti. However, one thing is intriguing me, why this interposer does not have small heatsink with VRM at the back as I use to see on the …

I will post pictures of the board this evening (CEST time). There was another transistor between the cpu and memory slots. This was just a NEC K2941 which seems to be a field effect transistor. I also searched the net for a good AGP pinout from the solder side but couldn't find it I quickly …

Can you post a picture of your board? In order to find out wether +3.3V is supplied directly from the PSU to your AGP slot you can use a multimeter to check for continuity between the +3.3V pins on the PSU connector and AGP slot. If there's continuity you're 99% safe. In the area between the CPU …

Nice score! Congrats. The VRM is a switching design that will output much less heat than a linear regulator so it doesn't require a heatsink. Putting the switching transistors inside the socket saves space but prevents air movement over them so maybe that's a bit suboptimal. With good cooling on …

The VX doesn't support UDMA, does it? Unless I'm missing something, the 430TX chipset is better than the VX in every way. Going for the HX makes sense if more than 64MB RAM is needed, but in most cases, a Win95 system would not benefit much from that. Neither 430HX nor 430VX support UDMA but …
