Last motherboard arrived today, and I think I won't buy one for a while, unless there are great occasions, or cards of particular interest (for me), it is quite similar to that of my first P4, socket 478 and SDRAM, this penalizes a little performance, unfortunately RDRAMs were abandoned, even if …

Why not put them on a motherboard? You can easily find out about the specs in NSSI. Yes but not right away, I'm currently working on some newer PCs, and I wanted to catalog these RAMs, to preserve them, for future use. However, I understood, looking at the other RAMs I have aside, that the two …

I have some modules that I have no way to test, I would like to know how many MB they are? I don't expect any large capacity modules among these, but it would be nice if some were. I don't know if something like this exists, however, if anyone like me wants to know more, you can write here, waiting …

Just finished testing the ASUS P2B98-XV with Celeron 333, and surprise!!! It works, it works, but on the first screen it showed its origin, it is the MB of an HP Brio PC, I don't know exactly why you use MB ASUS and not from other manufacturers, I have similar cards from another HP with PII 350 and …

Unfortunately, putting them back in place, it is not at all easy, you need more than a magnifier of tiny tweezers, then also a good dose of luck, maybe in a relatively short time, you can put them back in place. Sometimes you have better luck with wooden toothpicks, they have just that little bit …
