I used 95 on various cpus from 100mhz to 233mhz, cyrix, amd and intel, back in the 90s and honestly its terrible. The 233mmx with EDO really wasn't bad at all though at this speed windows felt proper and not laggy. As long as its with the 95 shell, the moment anyone installs the IE4 shell like the …

These are some old screens of my CT-479 Build on a P4P 800 SE. At the time I wasn't trying to break any records, and hadn't pushed the system that hard. Pretty sure the 6800 is running stock clocks. If I had to guess its a bit faster than the 855 boards, becasue my CPU isn't clocked as much and my …

The PCI to PCI-E adapter is a bottle neck. Even though PCI-X can be 133mhz the PCI to PCI-e adapter isn't using all of those lanes. Its only using the 33mhz lanes. Its nothing like Nvidia AGP to PCIE bridge chips they used to put on some cards to make AGP gpus work on PCIE. The Broadcom cards are …

Before windows boot press F8, like youre going into safe mode, but instead chose test mode its towards the bottom of options. You can also use Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF or TESTSIGNING ON reboot required. Its easy.

I am still hoping someone with understanding of 94B will appear, because that means we can make 94B bank with the Sounds from real SC-55 ROM, as I mentioned previously: yea after skimming through the prosound.pdf in the SNDEDIT folder from the iso posted by Ozzuneoj.

Multimeter in the AT keyboard socket or the leads on the back of the AT keyboard socket. It is possible you have a broken AT keyboard connector or you have broken solder joint there. Cuz like if you plug in keyboard and you get no power than thats your problem. If it gets power but it doesn't input …
