Good job on the fix, I have some spare sockets I thought about trying this. In the end I just decided to modify a heatsink to work instead of risking my Tyan Tomcat i815T S2080GN https://i.imgur.com/umd2NLIl.jpg So I wouldnt say you couldnt attach a cooler to it... just takes a bit of mod to the …

I don't see how that would help. The Klamath is at 300 MHz / 66MHz bus stock, as is the Celeron A prior to the pin taping. So it should drop right in if that was the issue, surely? I think I've been sold a bill of goods. Negative feedback time. Spoiler It's Miller time, my dude. Ugh. American beer. …

I've always wanted to build my own case, and my idea would be more cube like, divided in two parts, one for the mainboard and expansion card, the other for the psu, hdd/ssd/cd/dvd/bd/fdd/tape/... footprint would be slightly larger than a EATX mainboard. Smaller versions with a footprint of ATX or µ …

That is a slightly diff Gateway board. According to Youtube video on Gateway 2000 G6-233m Examination, the board has two ISA slots like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/113665911260?epid=141093581 Yes looks like standard ATX The pic you linked to is a LX board which would probably be the …

From this article https://www.anandtech.com/show/873/24 seems like you got dang good results. I remember the early geforce models normally got a better boost from memory clock then core clocks. I dont know anything about tweaking the memory timing but you can mod the voltage for the memory.
