BTW, hang on to your V3 PCI as it's getting rare and worth much more than AGP. I was on a look up for one of those for my ss K6 system that lacks AGP slot but had to go for V2 + TNT pci combo as it was much cheaper this way. Did manage to find cheap V3 AGP for s478 P4 frankenstin i'm building. I …

Hi! I finally scored a slot A motherboard + K7 700Mhz "pluto". But I am having random instabilities and problems with it : - Single sided 256MB modules aren't recognized, some double sided are/some aren't - USB flash drives won't work, they get recognized and installed but when you insert a flash …

I have mediocre at best skills, so I'll probably order a desoldering gun and give it my best. But so far it's mora of a hate than love relationship with this motherboard, when I install v2 drivers my pc freezes as soon as desktop loads. Will probably star a new thread about all of my problems 😁

OK, then i need to get some new sticks to see if it will improve its stability. If not, I guess all that's left to do is a full recap... nightmare. I did manage to get those voodoos for a bit lower price - 100€, not great not terrible :) Now I need to up the memory to 12MB, do you perhaps know if …

Ok, will try to get the correct stepping, but I guess for these other games 2 vs 4 cores makes little difference, so will try to get the e5800 and do a few mods to it, I see others getting around 900fps with this gpu.

Yeah I mostly want it for the "cool" factor tbh, plus I doubt I'll ever get another chance to score a sli cards here locally, ebay prices are even crazier. Will try to get them for around 100€ and call it a day. Plus that gf3 card and we're good to go. I am having random instabilities such as …

They usually go for 100€ a piece here. Most people threw pcs in the bin when they got obsolete, so not that many retro things I can get locally also in 98 Slovenia wasn't the most developed country out there (still isnt 😁 ), so not that many voodoos were purchased.

Found two 8MB cards by Creative for 120€ with sli bridge. Don't feel like paying that much, but prices have gone crazy in the last year. So I'll probably add them to my pc along with the medion gf3, they go for 10€. Judging from the looks of the sound cards, i'd say the ESS is better built. Yamaha …

I have a weird issue with my setup. Looks like the hd 3850 is cpu limited, I get about 520fps in q3 at any resolution from 800*600 to 1200*1024. I have the 4coredual-sata2 with beta bios, E7500, 2*2gb ddr2 ram, hd 3850 with the 13.3 drivers. If i'm going to replace the cpu, which one is better the …

I know, I get nervous only thinking about selling it :D it's a disease in a way :D I did try to remove all of my cards, but it doesn't help unfortunately. it installs the flash drive but then under device manager I get a "this device has a problem, but windows cannot determine what the problem is". …

V3 isn't the fastest out there, but I do like having one pc that I can use glide on. But you're probably right, I should get a gf3/4 and a V2. Will try to get someone to swap a V2 with my v3 2000 PCI that I have zero use for. Or maybe sell it on Ebay, I can see they are quite wanted. As far as the …

Will try only raising the FSB first, probably not worth OC-ing it too much anyway. Slot A are hard to find, so I want to keep this one alive :) I'm using it with V3, so not much to gain with a faster cpu anyway. K7 pro is messed up though. Can't get usb to work no matter what. It installs normally, …

Thanks! 😀 Have to open it then, but I can't do anything without the GF probably, even if it is a downclocked faster die? Thank you for the info, I only dreamed about K7 Slot A when they were new, so don't have a lot of first hand experience with them.

Here's mine, still unfinished. Did score a NOS Golden Orb, waiting for the NB, RAM and V3 coolers. I have the pluto 700, is it worth replacing it with the T-bird 700?

Thank you both! MPs are nowhere to be found in my country, even XP are hard to get now, but still way easier. I have no real use for dual config, but it's nice to have one system like this 😀

Thanks, didn't look at the usa epox page, global didn't have this one listed, or I couldn't find it. Is there any good online info about which XPs can be modified into MP? thank you!

Found a slot A motherboard and the guy also had TNT 2 pro, Tualatin supporting motherboard and dual socket A epox M762A with the original pci usb card which he gave me for free. Epox needs 2 new caps, MSI k7 Pro weirdly seems fine. Now all that's needed is a slot a golden orb cooler .

I got me another sb live sound card - the sb0220, it came with the original cd from 2003, driver version 5.12.1.296. Should I upload it? There was also this "cubasis audio sw cd".
