Some days ago we were looking for some books in his attic,we found a old rig.He gave it to me because he knows how much I love them ! I opened the PC and saw what was inside.A typical 200 watt psu,4 empty slots of ram,an onboard graphics card 😖(1 mb shared memory xD),4 pci slots,3 isa slots,one 12x cd rom drive,a 2.1 gb hard disk and a Pentium MMX 200 Mhz!So I grabbed some ram,a graphics card etc and created THIS:
System Specs:
Pentium MMX 200 MHz
24 mb ram
S3 Virge 325
2,1 gb ram
SB 16
Not the best retro PC but it will do the job.
Now the problem is that this motherboard has 2 panels or jumpers whatever.These are obviously for setting your cpu speed.And someone played with them pretty much so it recognizes the cpu at 133 MHz.After playing for a while I found a matching combination showing that now it was clocked at 200 Mhz.But the games proved it wrong.Legacy Of Kain runs like shit,same does Tomb Raider and some others.I searched the motherboard to see if there was any reference to what those panels(jumpers)clocks where.Apparently the red one doesn't do anything(or at least it doesn't seem to) and the blue one clocks the cpu but I'm without a clue.I don't have any manual and I'm stuck.Pictures follow:
You can see the green heatsink(might be for the onboard graphics card).
Check the two panels!
Even closer!
