It's the WinG video profiler, it does this to exhaustively measure which functions run the fastest and will do this after a display driver switch. Hey, awesome, thanks for labeling it, I didn't know what WinG was. And yeah, all of the games I knew about that did this test are listed here, https:// …

I'm having massive frustrations with my CMOS battery on my packard bell 486. Wasted a bunch of time yesterday trying to troubleshoot this again. The person I got the pc from had used pins J28 to attach an external battery pack with 3 AAA batteries, but it wasn't fully working when I got it and I've …

Anyone remember this video test that would occur before some older windows games? I've always been so curious about it. Does the dancing image actually mean anything? Why's it jiggling? It seems so bizarre.🤔 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGhYi1pT9eU

Still a work in progress, but I wanted to have an area in my basement with computers for the three primary generations of windows that I grew up with: 3.11, 98, and XP. I still want to do better cable management, get some better seating, and maybe get new desks for them. But I like where it's at so …

Success! 😀 Using this slotket with a SL5QV. Thanks again for the help, it's running great.

I just tried a Pentium III 700 SL3XM in my WS440BX board and it would not boot. It boots just fine with a Pentium III 1000 SL5QV in an appropriate slotket, I would guess the fastest it would run would be a Katmai Pentium III 600 without a slotket. https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/5902 …

I have a gateway G6-450 that I bought last year because it was the exact machine our family had in 1998. The motherboard has a WS440BX intel chipset that states in the manual that the maximum cpu it can support is a pentium 2 450 which it currently has. I'm wondering what is the fastest CPU I can …
