Would you mind using the image upload feature? I can't click your images, and browser scaling f*cks it up, so it's unreadable ...

Drew and printed a quick and dirty mount for a 120mm fan on top of the 2 Coppermines in my P2B-DS. They were cooled only by power supply airflow in the system I got them in, but they're 667s clocked at 100MHz FSB, so probably pretty cool running. Hopefully the weekend will teach me 😀

Well, as Tiido writes, the left and right Windows key have different scan codes, so probably neither of them sends ctrl-esc, but that combination was a workaround for all the keyboards out there, which didn't have a Windows key at release time?

cB1 and cC has the new 350 nm process (3,3V). B5, C2 and E0 is the 600 nm process. Pentium 120 with 600 nm has a TDP of 12.81W, the 350 nm version has a TDP of 10,2W. Also a 1995 produced Pentium 133 has the 600nm! process, with a TDP of 14W (11.2W for a 133 P54CS): https://www.cpu-galerie.de/html/ …

Also, can anyone shed me some light on... why is running a 800EB on 440BX not okay? This board ran it crash-free, aside from some funny errors caused by the Radeon 7500 GPU I was using. The fact that it is your GPU making trouble confirms the reason - at 133 FSB the AGP is clocked to 89 MHz which …

Some Abit motherboards had a BIOS option to force #sel66/100 signal (AFAIR that's the name of it) to make a 100MHz fsb chip think it ran at 66. I guess the idea was that some chips then could use other multipliers ...

It has arrived! The good: it POSTs, with the original caps no less. That's impressive, given the bad rep Tayeh and Jackcon have. The bad: front power switch doesn't work, requiring me to power on the board through shorting PS_ON and GND on the main ATX plug (hence why you're seeing the tweezers in …

I can definately recommend reading this about 440BX and memory. https://web.archive.org/web/20180103032407/ht … ram_bx_faq.html And yes, 1 GiB is maximum, there's lines for 4 memory slots, maxing out at 256 MiB each.
