Jim, I do believe you stumbled onto the same perdicament I had found myself back in 2002. My P3C-L provides voltages < 1.5 however, when used with a Powerleap PL-ipt v.2, the BIOS only allows me to set 2.0V (like what an old Pentium2 would use) and above. To go around this, the powerleap unit powers...

:shock: You DOG YOU!! Couldn't resist the Tualatin could you? ;) I'm still saddened you are still using AT boards (yes, yes, I realize you have an affliction to those dinosaurs, but get with the times man :P ). I mentioned in a previous post about using a p3B-f. Pretty good board, overclocks my 1.2 ...

Why not a P4 approach? The 845 (non DDR) intel chipset is a viable and very stable chipset. I use it in a Dell Dimension 4300S and my old IBM Netvista 6214 used it. Both had 1GB memory and were spectacular. AGP 4x, ATA100, Asynchronous memory. Unfortunately it supports only 100FSB processors. But ma...

I concur with the post above. I use a SB Live 4.1 with the ALI Aladdin V and K6-2 500 and its nothing but issues. I used an Aureal Vortex 2 prior to the Live, and that also had many issues. These only came up in Win9x and ME. In Win2K/XP the drivers were automatically selected for the Aureal, and Cr...

lonewolf, why are you asking the wrong questions? Why does a 4 pin power connector matter if it is 12V or whatever? The pictures supplied by the newegg website clearly shows a power cable splitter, (one which goes to the graphics card, since obviously it needs more power than is available through th...

Jokingly dude, you must out of your g-ddamn mind if you're planning on getting a radeon again. :wink: I heartily recommend the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150157 XFX 6800XT (Sure 8 pixels, but it fully supports Direct X9c, (pS3), has 256-bit memory, is fairly overclockabl...

/Stands at doorway with arms at the ready.

You do recall my cousin needs a PCI card for his Dimension 2400 PC. But I'm not sure if he needs it. Best of luck getting it sold though man :) . And I saw at the other forum, the mod totally ignored your post and answered other mundaine stuff.

hey Jim, Are you sure about the scanner resolution you just posted? 12000 dpi :shock: ? And the particular model you posted, are you sure it is not the Epson Perfection 3170? This is just an observation of mine, but I can't find the model you have mentioned. The above mentioned model does 3200 x 640...

Kachi I would greatly recommend a Matrox G450 DVI card for your rig. Just make sure you have a compatible motherboard. My Ga-5AX 5.2 was not so lucky. http://k6plus.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=1509&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60&sid=97857986fc443b03d2e3e64...

Pedro, what would be the reason to use a x1300 PCI in a AGP capable motherboard? (I know, I know, some prefer PCI gfx cards in SS7's, more so than AGP) but what would it really accomplish? As for you lonewolf, I just saw the thread you wrote on visiontek's forums (yuk you purchased the card from tig...

You know lonewolf, I was going to bite the bullet and get the BFG 6200 for my cousin. Now you've got me doubting myself, and made my cousin anxious about his Dell 2400 rig. I could tell him to purchase a nice 300GB hard drive first, (he has 40 gb now) and some more ram. Of course he'll have to wait ...

Tewinkel, what Operating system are you using specifically? If you're planning on playing old games primarily, why not the Windows 98? Also, I would not recommend nVidia drivers above 5x.xx for the Geforce 2 MX. As long as DirectX 9c, Ali AGP drivers, service packs are all there, you really shouldn'...

Don, I play it at 800x600 Medium settings. As you may know, the terrain is large, unfortunately my CPU is the bottleneck, until I upgrade that I cannot go higher or more detailed. The Geforce2 Ti is more than enough for the game.
