Have you tried recruiting the networks of aunties into this noble cause, instead of all that scheming they usually get up to? ... might take some light bribery, you'll know better what tempts them. It seems odd to outsiders but the way they use Aunty, Uncle, Brother, Sister for everyone even if …

ok so the forum is being fucky with quotes for some reason I still think it is the PSU or capacitors on the motherboard. Only way I see it being thermal shutdown is if the heatsink isn't on the CPU flatly. I would agree with it being a misaligned heatsink or bad VRM caps, even if they are not …

Pentium 3 socket 370 systems also don't have the PSU issues that plagued the early Athlon setups, their wattage requirements are really no different than what a Pentium II would require, heck you could run a P3 setup off a 350watt PSU even with a weak 5v rail ~18-20 Amps. (The GPU might not like it …

Your cpu will be running off the 5v rail from the PSU. I'm amazed no one has yet mentioned that modern PSU's do not provide many Amps on the 5v rail as everything after P4 and Athlon 64 uses the 12v rail. Can You please give us the PSU 5v Amps rating? You could try dropping the fsb to 66mhz to …

I never experienced win98 needing a reinstall for cpu change, this is especially unlikely when changing for same vendor/family cpu. One thing that comes to mind is badly adhering heatsink. Iv seen few 370 fitted the other way around back in the day :) with socket A that resulted in fired CPU, …

Cool thanks that was fast ! That really may be one of those kickstart switcher, as it was in a pile close to some Amigas. The strange thing is the fact that the cables ends in a cinch connector ... was there a switch connected to that cinch ?? Usually there is yes, normally you would drill a hole …

98 is a picky bitch and can do this with any hardware changes, that said are you sure the CPU is working ? you may have a bad CPU. Did you load BIOS defaults ? Check to make sure you are on the latest version of the BIOS ? Check the Dip Switches to make sure they are set correctly for the 1Ghz CPU …

You know I knew I had seen something almost identical in my dads Amiga collection ...I could swear this is a Kickstart Rom switcher, though back in the day you had to rig it yourself but yeah its pretty similar to this one. The one he used let him switch between Workbench 1.3 and 2.0, was quite the …

Wanna bet Windows 12 will yet again require stupid security hardware requirements ...like SSDs only and bit locker required at all times. MS is likely to push one of them ..

How much effort do you think people are going to put into testing an AGP video card other than seeing if it boots to BIOS? How many ebay sellers even have a AGP 4/8x capable machine sitting around loaded with W98SE/ME full of games to run a test with? Generally, I only get mad when a card is said …
