40€ well spent. Bought the V3, but I guess seller wanted to get rid of old "junk", so got the rest for free 😁

I don't think that your gpu has the needed temp sensor.

This one is for the socket 939 with an optional am2 upgrade board, but cant find one anywhere unfortunately. Whats cool about this board is that is has an agp 8x and a full bandwidth pcie 16x. I've got one of those upgrade boards. Not getting rid of it. They come up for sale very rarely. If you …

Got all of this from a guy who wanted only a few DDR3 mem sticks for the lot. Have to test everything and see if it all works. Now I just have to find the am2cpu upgrade board somewhere and test how my HD3850 AGP works with a better cpu. GF 4 mx 440 https://i.imgur.com/mA2doZvl.jpg p4 2.8c HT with …

Will try this also thanks. Tried everything else, but it seems that because it takes so many IRQs it causes some interference after first use of either of those USB ports.

Did some more testing today. With the card installed again, I got full bandwith, but once I plugged in a usb flash drive and copied one small file made a rerun of the test and once again 60MB/s. It does take quite a few IRQs and some are shared, will just take the card out and copy everything …

Well first thing I tried was taking out that USB pci card and I saw an improvement from the moment I turned on the pc and testing only confirmed it. Quake 2 also runs like a charm now. Also installed that driver, but it didn't make any difference. Will try out every stick on its own, but looks like …

It also doesn't feel as fast in OS itself, win98se should fly on this config. Unfortunately it doesn't have that option in bios (will check again when I come home from work) and test with other memory, and buy a few more sticks, don't have any other pc133 at home. Would I improve anything if I buy …

Hi, I've completed my win98 machine and did some sisoft testing and I get a really low memory bandwidth. I have two sticks of PC133 CL2 memory(256+128). Motherboard is QDI advance 10F with P3 1000EB (133fsb). Some games run ok (like UT) and some get slowdowns (quake 2). Other specs are sb live 5.1, …

Mind telling me which board you're using it with? I have cold boot issues with my nf3 s754 board.

Thank you! Will try out the older version of the update, because my installation always seems sluggish after I install sp3.x.

Thank you for this! I do have one question though. I always install Service Pack 3.56, is the 2.1a better? thanks

Without the battery there is no sign of life, the charger has multiple voltage settings. Should I try and up the voltage? Don't blindly up the voltage. Set it up according to the manufacturer. There should be a label on the bottom side of it. I found this online: POWER (All models) Autosensing …

Are you sure your charger is working? If there is no sign of life without the battery inserted, it might just be a bad charger. Do you have a multimeter?
