Reviving here. I actually got this to work with a different PSU (the old one is still fine in the original unit).... go figure.
Re: Northwood win98se project - need some input please

That's funny, I just finished up a Win98SE build on a Soyo P4I845PE Board with a Northwood 2.66 or 2.8 (Can't remember). What I do remember is the setup went smooth as silk and I even found 98SE motherboard drivers without an issue. Runs great with a GeForce4 Ti card....
Linux Distro / Win98 Dual Boot?
Posted on 2022-01-05, 01:49
Well, After intense research I am giving up on my quest to integrate Win 10 and Win 98 on the same machine..... they are just too far apart. I'm a dedicated old school 98 gamer but I'd like to do normal business, web browsing and office type work on the same machine as well. I have both a P4 and an …

Great info, Thanks! It looks like my board will not support my Tualatin. Any idea where I can order a Lin Lin FPGA2 adapter? Someone wants like $180 for it on ebay. (crazy) Cheaper to get a native board at that point. The whole point was to get away from this VIA chipset motherboard which has been …

That's funny. Everything I've read shows native capability for Tualatin processors with the correct bios revision. Did I miss something here?

Looking for chipset\sound\etc drivers for the board all in one place. Best place I've found is here but the ftp links are dead: http://www.osirisinternational.com/d815EEA2_download.html Also looking for the best Bios version to support my 1.4 GHz Tualatin-S. Upon research here and other places it …

My 2 cents here: Retro systems are like rabbits.... You build one and then you are surrounded by builds that always need "just one more thing". Both of my recent systems have been built by Craigslist and OfferUp, as I'm always keeping an eye open for stuff people are just getting rid of. Complete P3 …

The good: A Ti 4200 w/128 MB and 8x AGP. (I thought they were all 64?) I'm willing to bet the clock speeds are tweaked out of the box as well. When it works, this thing is awesome and puts up some great stats in 3dMark 2001 SE. The bad: When it doesn't work, it will not get through all the tests in …
Re: How much is it worth? (Vintage 98 System)
Posted on 2021-10-19, 03:14
Motherboard is a Tyan S2507T It's a dual processor capable board running a single Tualatin 1.4 GHz. After playing with it a while I don't know how much of a fan I am of the Via chipset, but after messing with it (a lot) it works well. AGP 4x and 5 PCI slots, so plenty of real estate. If you folks …
How much is it worth? (Vintage 98 System)
Posted on 2021-10-17, 21:55
With the p4 2.8\SATA\GeForce4 system up and running it has pretty much replaced the "period correct" Tualatin. How much do you folks think the following is worth as a package? P3 Tualatin on a Via chipset board, 512k RAM, GeForce2 Ultra 4xAGP, Win98 SE (Debating on whether to add the Soundblaster …
Re: Does this card exist? Interesting Conundrum....
Posted on 2021-10-03, 22:33
A lot of good info here, so thanks to all! At this point I'm leaning to just finding an old P4 board with AGP 4x\8x and SATA capabilities. Anyone know how 98 SE is in general with true AGP 8x cards or are we realistically looking at 4x with the OS\drivers\rarity\cost\etc...?

Looking to beef up my Win98 solution with some Pentium 4, SATA SSD drive, etc, etc.... Looking at Phil's Computer Lab video about getting a PCI-E video card working in Win98: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abYeIixYrbk I've got a similar P4 motherboard with a x16 PCIe slot. ------------------- My …
Re: Ideas for an old Celeron G540 Dual Core?
Posted on 2021-09-30, 01:59
It's a Sandy Bridge (2nd generation Core i) released in 2011 so you can forget about running Win9x on it; it's just not practical looking for Win9x compatible drivers for the MB chipset and video cards. It is slightly faster than my C2D E7400 (2008) WinXP build; give it an SSD and you can have a …

This is really a Windows XP class machine. Find a decent compatible graphics card (Nvidia GTX 2xx) and it can become a good WIndows XP gaming machine, for games that fair poorly on more modern Windows 10 machines. You will struggle with Windows 98, especially if you don't have a lot of experience …

It's sitting around in my garage just asking to be messed with. I thought Win 98 but it won't take advantage of the second core. XP Pro? Wild ideas?

What is the best App to use in Win98SE to get a good idea on how your card is performing? Especially in general frame rate performance vs what is expected. The current programs I am using are giving me a results that are meaningless because there is nothing to compare it to. My card is currently a …
GeForce 2 Ultra..... Voodoo2 Add On... Will it work? Worth it? Stupid Idea?
Posted on 2021-09-20, 00:36
Love my hard to find GeForce2 Ultra on my Retro rig. Most of my games have a sweet spot with DirectX 8 and current drivers.... which means a Glide wrapper is a no go. Would a PCI Voodoo 2 even work? Even worth it?
