Games that are speed sensitive won't need a v56k. Also is this is an original 3dfx card, you won't be able to use it with such a "modern" socket.

Started working on my Compaq Proliant 1500, also have the scsi disk tower, but that will have to wait, because it seems the PSU died after I dusted it with the air compressor. Didn't die, I just didn't put the side panel on which has a metal thingy that pushes into the PSU, without this, you can't …

Finally got the MSI BX Master again, had this back in 2000 running the celeron 633@950 and the Abit BH-6, both nice bx motherboards. MSI is in bad need for new caps, most seem bulged.
Re: VLB video card POST behavior
Posted on 2022-07-13, 07:53
I have a 486 with the pc chips m912 and it does something similar with the GD5434 vlb card. Every time it powers up (turn on or reset, doesn't matter) I get three bios beeps and then normal post. I'm using the Am486DX2-80 cpu so in my case it could be 40mhz fsb that's giving me issues since I also …

I just put a heatsink on it and it's more than enough. You can get them on aliexpress for a few € a piece.

Got a lot of free stuff, need to go back for some 10 flat CRT monitors. At the site there must be some 20 celeron 2 machine, but I didn't take those as I currently lack space. I did find some nice cards, took out some cpus, lots of old HDD. I love the memory upgrade on that S3 card. Separately I …

Going to "revive" my own thread, I replaced all of the caps, got a duron 1200 which should work, but nothing, no beeps, nothing. Could this be a corrupt bios or is this board toast?

Probably use it for a while, if there will be issues with it, it's going on the wall.

Got this yesterday, a nice hardly used Rage fury maxx. I only found i think two versions of drivers for this card, were there so few updates for this card?

Before i'd buy the 5600xt i would make sure it's 128bit, otherwise this gf4 mx is a faster GPU. GF4 mx is great with a 1ghz p3, it will play most games from that era just fine.

Fully compatible with 98SE. I use the fx5900xt with V2 sli in my dual boo win98se/xp machine. Make sure it's not the 64bit version - that one SUCKS! 128bit is comparable with the radeon 9600se. If possible, i'd go for a GF4 ti 4200, those are usually found for cheap (around 20€ or less) and it will …

I am using the Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM VLB in my 486 system with upgraded memory, runs without issues and has a pretty good output.
