Voodoo 3 is probably the lamest Voodoo 3 1000 model.

It depends. If it's the 8mb Bonesteel version then, yeah. If it's 16mb then you can still put a heatsink on those and overclock them. Some people have got those up to 3500 speeds.

I'm sorry, I should've mentioned that it has no heatsink because I could see that the original heatsink has been removed (still a few spots with that glue on the GPU package).
I haven't figured out exactly what it is, but it looks very similar to this one (but without the silvercolored heatsink)

It's partnumber is 210-0369-00X btw

Couldnt resist on this one:

It wasnt very expensive like other boards do. Board uses contaq chipset.. And supports 80486 DX4 120mhz on the fly (does have VRM)

I have a bunch of 486 VLB boards. I hoard the ones with 3 VLB slots when I find them cheap even though they tend to become unstable if you try to use 3 VLB cards at the same time.

I wrote earlier that I got a bunch of stuff the last few weeks. Might as well post more about it now 🤣
So far the last couple weeks I got a couple Athlon64 boards (with AGP, but still) including some memory modules and I think a crappy AGP card and CPU's for slightly over €10 each (excluding shipping). One of the boards included a s939 Athlon64 3700+ (single core, haven't determined which one it is exactly).
I also got a couple P4 systems which I stripped for parts. It yielded me a couple ok-ish s478 P4's and one (HP 🙁 ) Intel 865 s478 board with a bend PCI slot (I still think it'll work though). I got 2 MSI s423 boards with CPU's and memory for very cheap (One board was for shipping only and the second one was for very cheap and included a few extra's. One has a couple bad caps on it though but that should be repairable) and today the mailman brought me 3 more AGP cards: An FX5900 (ultra?), a 6800GT with a very large cooler (it looks like starship Enterprise when looking at it from the side) and a 6600GT including it's manual and I got a few more AGP cards on the way I hope. Last 3 cards were 25 euro including shipping, so not a bad deal at all 😀

I'm still looking for a good deal for some PSU's though, then I can start building some more rigs 🤣

I found this unusual card on ebay recently

The three main chips on it are a Cirrus Logic video chip, an Adaptec IDE controller and a Goldstar Prime 2, which I found out controls the floppy, game, serial and parallel headers. If it had a sound chip, it would have everything you need in a single VL-Bus slot. This thing must have been incredibly expensive when it was new with all the chips and circuits required to support it's many functions.

I bought a few CPUs

$25

Not that many interesting CPUs.
I was after the p75, p90, DX4 100 and the K6-2+ 500.

The Pentiums slower than 133 MHz I already own have very very bent pins. Not hopeless but I am lazy.
The CPUs in this lot was supposed to be without bent pins.
But as always there were plenty of slightly bent pins but at least no hopeless cases and all 4 CPUs I was after are already mended 😀.
I get the feeling someone has stepped on the Pentium 60 but I am sure that if I need a socket 4 CPU some time in the future I can fix it aswell.

Au contraire, I suppose it was pedecessor of more modern MediaBus cards, and putting all those functions on a single board was a cost-cutting measure.

I have a card of similar functions, ASUS GMIO-470

It is easily outperformed by an ISA I/O card with the same UMC chip set, and the graphics part is not so fast either. At the moment of testing I had nothing GD5428-based to compare it to, but it was a great deal slower than S3 805 VLB.

Honestly, if someone told me that 90% of all VLB video cards were CL-5428's, I would believe them.

I also have one of those sill in one vlb cards, from Acer. It too has the CL-5428 chip.

Compared to the cost of separate I/O, hard drive interface, and video cards then it probably would be cheaper than the prices three separate cards added together but as an individual card with all the complexity it still couldn't have been cheap.

There a hard to find any information about this upgrade. If someone know detail about changes - please write to me.

interesting, wikipedia mentions a 3rd party upgraded mt32... I love the sanded ICs on the extra pcb 🤣

I think, this is just an amplifier.
More interesting is what changes in the rom chips.

I got an Asus CUBX today and I also received an modified Pentium III Tualatin S from a very nice seller from South Korea, he sells those on Ebay for 18 pound and provides free shipping to any country so I highly recommend it for people who want to equip their boards with the fastest Pentium III there is :]

Here some pictures from the board and the CPU.

Strange that your cub-x motherboard doesnt have the add-on IDE ports intergrated on you board. Mine Cub-x board does have all the ports solderd on the motherboard.

mhm this is Revision 1.02 maybe yours is another one, I also think there is an CUBX-E

From what I know, the new ROMs should expand the settings accessible through the buttons on the module... and as you would expect from those messages, it buffers the RAM so the settings aren't lost when turning the module off.

No. mine is the same board with same revision number..
I will made a picture so i can show you:

For now i cant make them, photo camera is out of batterys, and cant find the charger now.

Last buys:

Iam now more in for quality buys, because most stuff i have already here.. So iam almost bought out..

I did find a second Everex Ev-165A EMS board on ebay. Couldnt resist on that one:

Looks like these in particular just falling out of the sky. I will upload these drivers soon on vogonsdrivers.

And last buy:

PRACTICAL ENHANCED LOGIC, CORP.
PEL - 800 SERIES

Have a variety of higher bios adresses.
