Absolutely nothing about CMS/Gameblaster upgrade in the manual. In fact, most of the manual is for the bundled software.

I was pretty much expecting that but still worth to confirm. Thanks!

Picked-up a TurboGrafx CD-ROM drive the thrift shop for a whopping $2.00...

Seemingly useless, given my complete lack of TurboGrafx paraphernalia, or so I thought...

As an owner of a few highly-regarded PCDPs, I feel like I'm discerning enough to recognize that the analog output of this little gem is, frankly, amazing. NEC apparently managed to work some sort of black magic with the Sanyo LC7881M DAC. I'm blown-away. It's that good.

Most interesting seems to me this one...

intel_mxm_interposer_es_f.jpg

Have you tried it? It is working with nvidia and ati. Does it require integrated intel graphic? Where can i get one working so i can test mxm graphic cards too. Is it limited to MXM I, II or III? Soo many questions and soo little money to get something like that.....

Unfortunately, I don't have any MXM cards 🙁 They are very expensive. This MXM test card was sold for me for about $15, seems that guy who sold it to me didn't know anything about its rarity 😀 According to "MxM HE" label this board supports cards up to MXM III type. So I need to get any 1st gen MXM card to test it

Why is that cyrix so special?

It's a high-end, VERY rare quad-clocked (4x33 FSB) processor that was typically used in Gainbery upgrade kits.

Saw 4 of those at local auctions...

Highly unlikely. You're probably confusing it with something else you saw. It's only been in fairly recent years that the very existence of them was even confirmed because nobody had ever seen one before. Prior to that there had only been rumors of their existence.

Might not be the exact model, but i have definitely seen gray ceramics Cyrix 586 processors before.
As well as MKII, and the pentium class versions.

Probably best to go buy them Stojke and send them to me 😀

if they are the 100GP variant they are quite common. 16 of them sold recently on ebay for around $100.

Picked this up at the tip the other day off the steel scrap pile when no one was looking 😈 .
DSCN1215_zps8b7b8749.jpg
The contents were exactly as I suspected more or less

Socket 7 Lucky star 5v-2
Cyrix 6x86L-PR200
32meg EDO ram
S3 virge trio64 - probably 2meg

2 hard disks, one was about 600meg the other 2gig, they were working at first but must be something wrong with the mainboard

Good to score another AT case & working power supply, however I have no use for an early socket 7 system, I will gut the computer and keep the cpu for the hell out of it.

I'll probably use this case to build another 486 system, cant have enough of those.
