What settings did you use for 3dmark01? Stock settings? Stock settings I asked because I just ran some test on my P3TDLE (dual 1.4) and my matrox parhelia 256 pci ("pci-x") with stock 3DMark01 to compare to your results: OS: Win2k SP4 & DX9.0c 64 bit / 66 Mhz = 6068 64 bit / 33 Mhz = 5137 32 bit / …

i815+ Aureal Vortex 2 is considered a rather problematic bundle under Windows 9x. Rumor has it that Vortex only works properly on BX. It works on most platforms, as long as you stick to DirectX 7.0. I have Aureal Vortex 2 cards in two of my systems: one is on an Asus TUSL2-C (815EP)/Tualatin 1.4 …

That PCJr game Kings Quest I saw on Ebay last week went for $761 USD before that I saw them going from $150-250.

Maybe because the P3TDL3/P3TDLE dont have the 24pin Table 2-2 in the P3TDE6 manual is for the 24 pin connector. My P3TDLE has the 24 pin main power and the 6 pin aux power connector and runs just fine without the use of the 6 pin aux in my config. https://i.imgur.com/RpffDDvl.jpg Why I highlighted …

If all alternatives are to expensive shipping wise then I would just make one myself or get someone to make it but I would have them do a sata to to 6 pin aux as the sata connector already has all the correct voltages for the 6 pin aux needs. Seems like a better idea then tapping into the 24 pin …

If you want a reasonable priced Tualatin board you just need to search the listing where peope dont know what they have. I have found more than a few capable boards that have coppermines in them but are 815 b-step boards. I got a Tyan S2080GN (815ep) that came out of an old security camera server, …

On ebay about 90% of "clicky mechanical" keyboards are actually rubber domed or foam & foil (made up % for effect). I think if any keyboard makes the slightest noise they list it as "clicky mechanical" at 4x the price.
