Hi Vogons, Now I'm not super into Anime at all, I discovered these sort of things by chance, and have two I think that just about reach perfection. The first uses the "Building Steam" track from Aether Shanties, by Abney Park and is set to clips from "Steamboy" which is a steampunk Anime movie that …

If it's a 66Mhz bus version a 440LX board will be fine, you can count the number of them that will even do 83Mhz stable on the fingers of one ear. A 100Mhz fsb 350 though, you might make a rocketship out of if you can get the BX up to 133.

I was told modern cases were powder coated, I think on a different forum. I too was skeptical on account of the expense. So maybe it was an erroneous suggestion. I would imagine any variety of finishes are possible if you're good w/an airbrush. You'd need a thorough understanding of paint, how it …

AKA crackle finish I think. edit: mmmmkay I'm checking up on myself and there's a newschool crackle that is a crazed finish crackle making a lighter tone show through cracks, rather than the old school crackle which was having it crazed with wrinkles rather than cracks in the same color.

Nice work! I dunno what you've run XP 2500+s on before but ti4600 reviews back in the day were getting similar quake3 and 3DMark2001 scores on an XP 2000+ https://www.techspot.com/community/topics/gainward-geforce4-ti4600-review.878/ Had to look that up because I had an XP 1800+ running in high …

I've got a stash of "made this millenium" Memorex, black with black plastic shutter that are doing okay. Is it Imation brand translucent rainbow ones you're having problems with? I have some junky ones of those which were possibly 21st Century too. My stash is lower than intended... few years back, …

You must not be much of a Babylon 5 fan otherwise you'd know about Delenn. Ah, Delenn. If I ever fell in love with a fictional character, it was definitely Delenn. :laughing: I would have to say I was mainly an Ivanova man. Though I found a slight leaning toward Talia Winters for a bit, but she was …

Shhh, my MCP61s are running fine and don't know they should have problems lol Edit: Pondering on that, I came to think that a lot of MCP61 boards were either in low end prebuilts that were not well looked after and had cheaped out everything else to contend with, or were "upgrade specials" meaning …

That was less a hypothetical question about the USB abilities of DOS than a question about whether the particular system you intend to use has actually used any other USB hardware in DOS to confirm that that particular system has any chance of using any USB hardware under DOS.

Maybe they introduced the numbering scheme at the LGA775 time .. But very interesting, that the sspec points to a 64-bit .. When will you have it up and running? :D :D :D Ooof, IDK, some time between now and the heat death of the universe seems good, I doubt the power will be on afterwards. I had …

Today I've been working on 1 of my PCs with an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ CPU... ...I hadn't worked on it in a while and had noted some stability issues already. That's gonna be a barton isn't it? Hope it isn't doing what a Tbred was doing on me, though you should check out the motherboard thoroughly …

I am pondering the same sort of question, though 6800 is just one of the cards in consideration. Mine would be something more like, "Do I want to fill the high-end/last-gasp AGP gap" ?? Because as has been said, there's even some quite ordinary PCIe cards that can walk all over them. I am thinking …

Chris had it right I think, they just twiddle the nozzle on the spray gun so it shoots bigger blobs, or turn the pressure down so it doesn't atomise it right. edit: If you wanted to do it with a spray can, you can kinda hold the nozzle half down so it restricts pressure and splatters... but that's …

The point of those types of molex connectors is that they can't be plugged into the wrong socket because the square and rounded pin shields won't match up... in theory.. so I would make the assumption that if it plugs into the connector, it should work... Really I'd just use it to confirm a no-go …

Another lucky day at the thrift store. I'm not typically one to care about a Compaq but given the time frame of this one, and if nothing else some useful components, I paid $10 for this guy. Dusty as hell inside, even after I blew out all the dust bunnies, so it'll need a good cleaning. My initial …

It's a virtual machine, like DOSbox is, even though DOSbox is an emulator, but you don't emulate DOSbox on another system, you port or implement it. I guess the Java Virtual Machine is kind of an emulator in that it emulates a machine to run Java on. So it exists as self parody, QED Java is Rodney …
