Re: Bought these (retro) hardware today

Well..... I just paid for these two things in one order. Was not cheap, however I have wanted it for years now. It is an accelerator for my Amiga600 and an silent active fan, to make sure it is running cold enough. It has a maprom, so I can use my Kickstart 3.1.4 or other roms out there for testing …

Yeah, biggest problem being the fact that I had to wait for some downloads to finish before starting others. Installed "Batch Link Downloader" extension to Chrome. It seems to do the work good .. :) Cool.... I am using Firefox my self. Chrome seems to be too tied into the Google ecosystem for my …

You'll be mounting the capacitors before soldering the socket, right? Yes, although it isn't necessary and could be done after. I'll give myself some room though and do it before mounting the socket. Yeah, I know that I would melt some ugly marks into that socket, if I'd mount capacitors after the …

You can actually read PGA and "70" on the socket on that picture - my guess is, theres a "3" hidden under the clip for the cooler ..

I have 2 of those docking stations, they are neither expensive or rare. I don't know what country you live in but in USA they are not only prevalent, but also cheap. Here is one right here and I had no trouble finding it. They are also not anymore bulky than the port replicator really, I know this …

As everybody else says, get the capacitors fixed first off .. Next, yes, a PIII at same or higher speed will "always" outperform the Celeron. Even if they are 100 MHz parts - the double cache has even greater impact on a CPU with low FSB bandwidth. That is the performance gap from a Celeron 800/100 …

If I didn't have neither board or CPU, I would definately go for a Tualatin without the adapter and a motherboard, that natively supports Tualatin. I am a sucker for Intel chipsets (actually, back at that time, my biggest argument for buying Intel CPUs was to be able to use Intel chipsets). An ASUS …
