I was just looking around eBay at PATA to SATA adapters for older computers and ran across this:

A PCI to PCIe 16x Card Adapter? I wonder how (well) this works?

RE: K6-3+550: sold for US$ 210 ...
I sold my last (used) K6 III+ 550mhz about a year and a half ago on eBay for more money than I originally paid for it new in 2001. I’ve never heard of used CPU’s going up in value! I took the cash from the sale and purchased a brand new P4 and a rather unique Aopen Tube motherboard. There was even a...

I think Internet Explorer 6 was included with the free Windows Security Update CD Microsoft put out in February. You'll also get a load of Critical Updates, Media Player 9 and some added security features. It would be a good thing to order if you have slow (or no) connection to the Internet. Microso...

Here’s what I know… (Another non-expert here) The Live series of Sound Blaster’s were their high-end 16-bit cards that use the EMU10K1 Digital Signal Processor. The Audigy series uses a newer 24-bit processor. All I know about them is that Audigy cards sound great. I’ve used a couple Live cards over...

I just had a thought. This speed problem might be the same I’m having with one of my newer computers. This particular system consists of an Aopen AX4B-533 Tube Motherboard. It’s a Pentium IV motherboard :shock: (oh my I just used the “P” word!). Yeah I know… I got a good deal. :roll: When this board...

I don’t think it would be best to end the auction early. Those eBay users tend to send nasty emails when an auction they’re interested in suddenly ends :evil: . I was thinking of doing a “buy it now” but changed my mind. As for thinking of a reasonable price if I would end it early, I don’t think th...

One of my K6 III+ 550Mhz on eBay. Did I really say that?
I don’t really know if coming here to hock my stuff right, but I’ve seen many other people do it so here goes! (I feel so dirty) :roll: I’m parting out one of beloved K6 III+ Systems that includes a 550Mhz Chip. I posted it on eBay hoping to get a few bucks for it. If anyone is interested, take a lo...

Well, here’s what I would try. If you still have that Voodoo PCI card, see if the system will get stable running with that card. If your having a CPU heat related problem and you think the Geforce 4 is adding to the problem, getting it out of there might help find if it’s the cause. Check your BIOS ...

my similar problem
I don’t know if I’m a qualified computer techie but I’ll give it a shot. I had a similar problem with a FIC PA-2013 and a 350mhz K6 III a few years ago. I was also using Windows 98SE at that time. The system would only occasionally crash when I was using a Voodoo 3. When I upgraded to a K6 III+ chip...
