I've seen some conflicting reports on which people like to use but not much detail on why.

Yeah, that's along the lines of what I was thinking.

Thanks so much, that's a great response. Is there much chance of this being solved in the future?

Sorry, I'm new. Why does using windows standard drivers or a DVI to VGA adapter not also trigger the issue?

I'm currently facing an issue where running low-res dos programs in Windows 98 confuses my monitor which thinks the signal is out of range. I can convince the monitor that everything is fine by alt+tab'ing away from the program and back into it then everything runs fine. Sometimes even opening a …
Re: Does this look like good thermal contact to you?

That's a good idea! I totally agree with the thermal paste. I only added more than extra so I could see what the pattern looked like a little better

Did you have much trouble finding the parts? I'm finding it incredibly difficult to find this, or a motherboard similar to it in my part of the world.

I really love this thing. I want it. How has it been going now that it's had some time to settle in? Would you do it all the same way again?
What variants of Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium SB0880 do I have?
Posted on 2020-02-27, 07:48
I've been lucky enough to come across two SB0880's recently. They look completely different though. The X-Fi wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_X-Fi#Products_in_the_X-Fi_Family) shows a whole bunch of products in the family but I'm confused about which ones I have and if any …

It looks like in Phil's case he used snappy driver which was good enough to install most or all of the required drivers. He has a video about installing XP on Haswell and describes his process. https://youtu.be/a4PTuaF8BO0

Running without chipset drivers
Posted on 2020-02-17, 22:39
How important are chipset drivers? I've just watched a Phil's computer lab video on an ultimate xp machine (https://youtu.be/LjR2X39BVyo). He uses a GA-B85M-D3V which does not have any drivers available on the gigabyte website and a quick Google search doesn't come up with any h85 chip set drivers …

Ended up going down to an 80GB HDD, I'll save the 250 for an XP build. Also the GPU is now a 6600. If I start missing the Table Fog & 8-bit Paletted Textures I'll switch back to the FX.

Yes, stock cooler. I wouldn't say that it's quiet. But I also have another stock cooler which sounds the same so I assume they were all like that. I'm just starting to look at what temperatures it runs at. Which motherboard are you refering to ? Photo of the setup ? MSI 865PE Neo 2. There's room in …
