nice, though it looks like you've got sata ports on that MB, i'd opt to use those for sata hdd You're correct, the board has a couple SATA ports. I do have a SATA SSD drive I'm using which I transplanted from another system. It's already hooked up an IDE-to-SATA adapter, I just didn't bother …

Had picked up a couple NOS Zalman fanless GPU heatsinks awhile back, so I decided to install one on my GeForce 4 Ti 4200. The stock fan was extremely loud, so anything to quiet it down would be a blessing. This was the last noisy component in my Athlon 2000 / Windows 98 rig. With a combination of …

There is a listing on ebay at the moment for an exact same PC I had in 1999, same model serial too. ATi rage pro onboard, AMD K6-2 exact same monitor LG 775N. Sad to say its a six hour round trip so wont be able to buy it. Never again, same config :( The only difference were the speakers, I had …

Tried the Audigy 2 ZS on my newly acquired SC-55 GS model. it keeps hanging notes so went back to the vortex joystick port. I had a similar experience with an Audigy1 under Win9x. The card also seems to default to its internal General MIDI synthesizer under pure DOS, instead of passing the signal …

what's in short supply is "Good" 939 coolers. You can still find relatively modern coolers that fit socket 754 and 939 motherboards. I'm using a DeepCool Ice Edge Mini FS 2.0 on my socket 754 rig and it works great. Had one of those in a socket 939 build as well. And I'm reasonably sure Phil used a …

It was outdated the day I bought it, but I got it for a good deal at the time. been on a socket 939 binge. damn, theyre expensive, didnt expect them to be so rare nowadays :/ What happened? This was not a rare socket. This thing was what …

Listened to some MIDI (via dreamblaster X2GS in GS mode on Aureal vortex 2) on my fresh new old stock Cambridge Soundworks beige "PC works" speakers. OMG, they're BEAUTIFUL and sound so good!!! Got for a bargain price too

Just got my hands on a used DTT3500. Came out to be crackly and faulty. I want to use the speakers and the sub. Has anyone ditched the reciever and used the speakers on a aftermarket reciever amp? I s it possible and recommendations? I'm not familiar with amps/recievers apart from USB plug play …
