Actually, my laptop doesn't have the ATI graphics. The link I sent you is for the Presario 1687, which is a laptop that does have ATI graphics and a DVD-ROM standard. I have a 1687, but it doesn't work. The laptop I used this software with is a 1200XL-110, which didn't come with a DVD-ROM, and which...

Your K6-III+ found a new home in a Compaq Presario 1200XL-110 in place of the original K6-2 475 that was in there. I'm running it at 500 MHz @ 2.0v, although I want to see if it will run on 1.8 at some point. It goes fine at 550 @ 2.0, but at 550 it gets too hot under load. I replaced the original C...

I had believed that Alladin 7 never actually became a finished product... It did. The Aladdin 7 was just so late to market that it never amounted to anything. I think they expected AMD to keep producing K6 CPUs for sometime longer than they did, but when the Athlon was such a tremendous success for...

Wish you had posted this a few days back. I've been needing a few K6-plus CPUs and I've been having to get them from China (a guy on eBay is selling K6-2+ 550 chips for about $10 each). I still put in a bid, though. :D Posting this from a Presario 1200 XL118 laptop that recently got a brain transpla...

I saw a YouTube video not too long ago where someone had actually installed Vista on an old K6-2 based machine. No reason it shouldn't work if you have enough RAM, but I wouldn't want to have to use it. I thought about putting the Windows 7 beta on a Presario laptop I recently upgraded with a new ha...

I noticed he didn't say how well his Hackintosh performed. I can't imagine that a 1.6 GHz Atom CPU and half a gig of RAM performs all that well. Mac OS X needs a lot of resources to run well, not as much as Vista, but more than XP will run well on. If someone wants to make a low-end PC function like...

That's the first I have heard of a six-way PPro Overdrive system, but the Overdrive does have the capability for more than two-way SMP. A lot of people used it successfully in four-way systems with no issues. Intel, for whatever reason, just chose not to support the chip for anything more than a dua...

I found a source for the PL-Pro/II the other day. One of Buy.com's partners apparently has some old stock available. They're $60 each. http://www.buy.com/prod/Powerleap-PL-Pro-II-Pentium-Pro-CPU-Upgrade-Adapter/q/loc/101/listingid/23613014/208132105.html If you get one, you must report back on how t...

The Pentium II OverDrive is just a Pentium II Xeon CPU which has been mounted onto a circuit board for use in a Socket 8 system. Intel introduced it long after the PPro had been discontinued, and likely because of threats from PPro system owners who had been promised an upgrade path for their expens...

Some of them just won't do 600 MHz stable. I've had a K6-III+ 450 for five years, and it can run 550 MHz at 1.9 and 500 MHz at 1.7, but it can't do 600 even if I give it 2.3. It'll boot Windows 98 at 600 and 2.3v, but gives a BSOD after a while. It won't even boot at all in Win2K or XP. I just backe...

I have a 486 board with PCI and a 486 board with VLB, but unfortunately, I don't have anything with both. If you once had a 486 board that could power a Cyrix 5x86 without trouble, then you had a nice board in its day. Most boards either went haywire on one, or they disabled all its high-performance...
