Bought another one of these Pioneer slot drives. This is the third one I've bought. Two others died quite soon after purchase. Maybe this will last :D I just like how they look. Bit different than typical PC drives, somewhat eyecatching when someone has one of these in their machine. 20200728_ …

Are you using the Asus CT-479 adapter to get that pentium m in that board? I occasionally search ebay for that part but I've never seen one come up, I'd love to buy one. EDIT - Upon closer inspection I do see CT-479 on the fan sticker. Were you lucky enough to find one on ebay?

Ok ran SIV32X in XP and just out of curiosity the latest CPU-Z in XP as well (no crash). Thank you, but please may I also have F:\SIV32X\SIV_9590DF9758454F9.dmi (attach a .ZIP as .DMI is not allowed)?

Thank you and yes, I have the same CPU and am pretty sure CPUZ ran OK on it last time I tried it. Can you boot NT/2K/XP on that system? If you can it would be interesting to see what Menu->Hardware->CPUID->CPU-0 reports, below is what I get on my CPU. I'll load up XP on it and try that out shortly. …

FINALLY. The replacement X1950 came today and it's a gigantic upgrade from the FX cards. Thank you candle_86 for suggesting ATI! My XP oldies rig is much better now. I'll probably get some pics and benchmarks done over the next few days as I'm stuck at home for now.

Well the TUV4X has arrived and I finally have a reliable Tualatin machine for the first time in many years. One interesting quirk I've noticed with this board though is if I disable the onboard audio in the bios 98se stops booting. Turn it back on and everything is fine. Who knows why, updated the …

TUV4X owner here. In my case, I have been able to overclock my system up to 155MHz in BIOS. Anything higher would cause the keyboard to stop working, so in order to circumvent that, I push the FSB higher with SetFSB in Windows. Make sure your RAM can tolerate the overclock. I have six ECC sticks …

Are all caps ok? I am in no way an expert, but the power draw at 1,5 instead of 1,75 might stress the rail more than it would like. The PL-Neo/T is, imho, like the Lin Lin adapter, just telling the MB how much Vcore it wants, and making sure the necessary bridges are connected to have the Tualatin …

Which Powerleap adapter are you using? Is the CUV4X able to provide the correct voltage if the Powerleap is not actively regulating the voltage itself? PL-Neo/T is the model. In the bios it's reporting 1.5V. Everything is fine at 100mhz fsb on Tualatin processors but at 133mhz the keyboard stops …
