It would just be a temporary "improvement". I can always put the older heatsinks back.
I'm going to wait until the rig is put together for that, though.

That orb can't beat the Dell Precision cooler for DUAL SLOT1 board.
PS. Built quality of that Dell is very nice, video has an additional support on that case bar and they even added molex caps lol. That PC had a LCD screen with it. Must have been a lot of $$$.

ebay perhaps, but I just did a search and found nothing. Time to start asking around and grovelling on forums, someone will have one somewhere.
I have two of them:
- one has been modded to fit my ATI 9800SE (this one was perfect for you and I wrecked it!)
(see this thread)
- the other one unfortunately is for AMD slot-A. You might be able to mod it to fit, but probably tricky. Here are some pix for you:

Not much has happened. Dude is going to be back on Wednesday so I think i'll pick up the board next weekend. I'll use my PII 350 for testing as I've haven't found a PIII, just a bunch of Celerons.
About the CM360, according to the purchase status it hasn't even arrived at the shop so that's still on hold too.
In the mean time I'll go an pickup a Logitech keyb/mouse combo that I saw in the newspaper and I'm going to OfficeDeport to have them make a mouse pad with this image:

Very nice! Ironically I had the exact same motherboard and amount of memory. Only difference is I used WinME instead of 98SE. Make sure you find the right Via 4-in-1's to use for that motherboard. It was a crap shoot if I recall...

Picked up this for the build:
Cheap, effective and had a discount
At the time I used to have a Matsonic board with some SiS chipset (635?), a P3 Katmai 450Mhz and the 5500 was the last card I got for that rig. In fact my sister still uses it as a POS.
As for the drivers, according to Via, the 4.35 4in1 should work.

Sorry for the lack of updates but my old Canon Powershot A430 finally bit the dust and have yet to replace it. I picked up the board this weekend but it doesn't have the retention mechanism for the CPU. Considering that the case is going to be lying down in a desktop configuration, how bad would it be to keep the CPU plugged that way?
I have yet to test it, there are lots of work and the case hasn't arrived at the shop.

I have a golden orb in its original tt box If the op wants it just pm me. Also with win 98 256 is the max mem you want to use. But it is happier with 128 mb Trust me I do know from lots of experience. Remember Win xp 32 bit is quiet happy with only 512 mb and alot of system manufacturers of the day shipped it out with only 256 mb Also if you can move away from the isa soundcard I have a real treat for you. I have Aureal Vortex2 SQ 2500.

I haven't secured the case. I cancelled the order I had put with the shop since they haven't got it in a month. They tell me that they have requested re-stocking but apparently the importer hasn't got any.

I think I found a Pentium III...
Found this at a flea market:
Looking at pictures on Google, I think it's a PIII. I don't know if it works, hopefully the heatsink was removed to sell it at the scrape yard. *prays*
I also can't identify the RAM manufacturer, never seen that "S" logo before. The sticker says that it's PC133 though.
About the case, I finally found another shop that has it but with no PSU. Doesn't matter as I'll need an SFX PSU to make the Voodoo fit. There should be progress this month. Stay tuned.
