The Reveal

c'mon then, socket A water cooler into a dry ice slushie and crank it up to 800.....

I have it running at 550mhz.
100 x 5.5

Well don't blow past any cops driving Covingtons or you'll get your first Information Superhighway speeding ticket.

Got the CPU right too, tho I was off on the speed technically.

Has that black box got a compaq part number on the side by the way? ... Just remembered a K6-2 380 I got back in the day arrived like that.

I have about ( 4 ) AMD K6-3+ CPU’s and motherboards with Voodoo 3 AGP cards.
I have them over clocked from 500mhz to 550mhz.
And they all run stable with out issues.

Hey, this thing performs surprisingly good.
It is very stable. About as stable as a Windows-2000 computer.
Sound Blaster Live 5.1 sounds great too. I am just using Klipsch pro media 2.1 speakers.
Voodoo 3 card works great.

I am surprised how well this computer runs.
I always had trouble with AMD CPU’s in the past. So I never really used them.
But this setup is very stable.

I have installed the OEM drivers for Sound Blaster live 5.1 and Voodoo 3
Windows 98se default installation from CD.
And then I applied the Unofficial Win98 SP3 core files update.
And then Directx 9 from SP3 installer.

WARNING: Don’t install the “VIA 4-in-1” driver package it does not work well with Unofficial Win98 SP3 update.
