I'm having this issue on my iwill 430tx p55xb2 in skimming the thread it seems like you guys found the solution by using onboard or using a different motherboard? any updates since then or other suggestions? I'd give my usb 3.0 card a try but no win ME support I don't believe? Right?

USB 2.0 cards can indeed lower the performance of K6 systems. See here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=835778#p835778 is there a 2.0 or 3.0 card that will work better or should I downgrade to 1.1? or none at all and use a hub off onboard usb? I'll check out the thread one sec. Edit: yeah I …

Ah, a Direct X 7 card really negatively affects that score (the NVS 280 is Direct X 8 ). For a more apples to apples comparison 3D Mark 99 and 2000. This system's 3D mark 2000 score is typically around 2,600 3D 99 is about the same. The Audigy's driver overhead will also cause a performance hit, …

this run was done on windows ME on a radeon 7500 and k63+ at 450mhz something else aside from the usb card must be messed up? maybe the audigy 2 being weird? I used default 3dmark settings this is a NEC card what else should I try? I'm not sure how to disable under device manager in ME I only see …

My current AOpen AP53 HX-based motherboard works just fine with Matrox Millennium, Matrox Millennium II, Number Nine GXE64 Pro (S3 Vision 964) and Trident TGUI9440. These are the only cards I've tried on it. Back in the day, I used to have an Asus TX97-x which I first ran with an ExpertColor S3 …
Re: Using power or turbo headers to drive 30mm fan?
Posted on 2021-03-23, 18:32
Batteries, especially smaller ones can indeed provide limited current, because they have so called internal resistance (just like they would have resistor wired in series with them). All batteries have internal resistance, but with large ones it is so small that it doesn't matter. Coin cells can …

A led is a type of diode, so if you connect it directly between Vcc and GND it will pretty much draw as much current as it is able to. And in a motherboard the PSU can output up to 20-30A on the 5V line, so it would pretty much blow instantly. As for your experience with the battery, I guess it …
Re: Using power or turbo headers to drive 30mm fan?
Posted on 2021-03-23, 02:06
I doubt that LED headers would power a fan, because they have to be current limited (likely through a resistor), otherwise LED would blow up instantly, because by itself it takes unlimited power. correct I've plugged leds into 3v batteries before without a resistor didn't seem to be shorting it. …

TBH, I did not look at comparative benchmarks . A Radeon 8500 is faster than either a 7500 or a 9000 (the 9000 is a cut-down 8500). The 8500 and 9000 have a DirectX 8 feature set , whereas the the 7500 is DirectX 7 . Benchmarks comparing a 7500 and a 9000 will only showcase software that both chips …

Personally, I would not fork 100 Euros to MAYBE get a slight performance increase in a machine that will almost certainly be limited by the CPU to a point that will make the difference between a 7500 and 9000 very small, in all likelihood. That said, it's your project and your money . I have been …

it might work but those leds take less power than a fan. it's kinda risky in my book I bet those lights are powered by very small solid state switches. though the power led header may just be a hardwire to 5v. you may be able to verify by following traces. if so that may be safe. at own risk :) …
