funny even a KT133 mobo from 1999-2000 has a isolated pcb around the soundchip? eh? what about the whole new concept from ASUS ASRock and co ... oh wait ... they stole it

What board is that? Looks like an Asus I used to have...

it's a Shuttle AK10 V1.0

this post was written on my Beaglebone Black .... talk about slow processing power xD (Ti AM3559 1ghz Sitara SOC SGX531 GPU 1gb RAM Linux Angstrom )

I had a Shuttle AK12A BE v3.0. Sad that all caps were bulged. It was one of the boards that were made by ECS but nevertheless the motherboard remembered me of the CUSL2-C Black Edition. In fact,it was almost like that except it had crap caps (dammit ECS,you had one job and you NAILED NAILED NAILED it! >___<)and had Socket 462.

I still have the memory from it. It had the KT133 (aka VT8363)chipset. I used to run a FX5200 128MB card on it but that died (and shorted something in my LCD that I had to get the monitor fixed)

Again wrong. 82547EI is the LAN chip from i865/i875 chipsets and it's integrated on the motherboard.

I really dont know where you get these specs or what you use to search for it but after looking on Compaq websites and other websites it's Intel 845G chipset. http://www.cnet.com/products/compaq-evo-d510-series/specs/

Here's a motherboard with 82547EI on 865.
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/P4/865/P4SPA_.cfm

Yes,I know that motherboard isn't from Compaq. Also,that Compaq you posted must have another network chip,because Intel didn't implement CSA until the 865/875 chipsets.

Here's a quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#Pentium_4_chipsets

• 875P (Canterwood)
  • Similar to E7205, but adds support for 800 MHz bus, DDR at 400 MHz, Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA), Serial ATA (with RAID in certain configurations) and Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT), a mode purported to cut down memory latency.
  • SMP capability exists only on Xeon-based (socket 604) motherboards using the 875P chipset. FSB is rated at 533 MHz on these motherboards.
• 865PE (Springdale)
  • 875P without PAT, though it was possible to enable PAT in some early revisions. Also lacks ECC Memory support.
  • Sub-versions:
    • 865P - The same as 865PE, but supports only 400/533 MHz bus and 333 MHz memory.
    • 848P - Single memory channel version of 865PE.
• 865G (Springdale-G)
  • 865PE with integrated graphics (Intel Extreme Graphics 2). PAT never supported in any revisions.

CSA is actually the 82547EI chip integrated onboard.
Very very few i875P motherboards used Realtek 8100 chips (actually I haven't seen any that doesn't use the 82547EI chip)while 865P/PE/G/GV/848P motherboards used RTL8100 chips more than the 82547EI.

However,there are some 865 motherboards that use the 82547EI,like the Albatron PX865PE Pro II,ASUS P4P800-VM and the Supermicro P4SPA.

integrated onboard and not on chipset ... the lan chip isn't related to the chipset but to the manufacturer of the board.

but Junkbear is worrying over nothing ... unless he plan to do a "terabyte" server that need optical fiber for network ... 10/100 can be fine as a 100/1000 is... ofc the more the better.

So basically you are really out of subject and talking about another board that is not even my concern. The one I have is older and doesnt even have Sata and also can take maximum 2 gigs DDR400. Micro ATX. Chipset 845G and stamped Compaq on the board. You are speaking of not the same generation as the one I was asking the question about.

Eh,sometimes that happens

Anyways,just got my FX5200 to output S-Video using a XFX S-Video to RGB adapter by connecting green to composite. The quality on it is so crisp,actually it's beyond crisp. With it on my Pentium 4 I even plan on making a retro "game station" (SNES,PSone,Megadrive,2003 PC games,and retro systems)and while being at that make it a small media center. The only thing missing though is a PCI Wifi card

eheh i have a PCI wifi card but it's not for that i answer ...

NOT FROM ME but from a close friend

Just got my ancient Radeon X800XT Platinum Edition 256MB AGP running again.

I had an overclocked X800 Pro VIVO @ XTPE many years ago, and damn, I even played Crysis with it.

Why not just using a USB Wi-Fi? A slower A or B Wi-Fi could probably make your router go on compatibility mode and same time slow down other Wi-Fi devices connected.

yeah like the one i use a few post above (http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/tpus-nostalgic-hardware-club.108251/page-109#post-3153569) : N type fast and quite cheap (where i am, i get them for 19.90chf)

Obiviously would go that route but I lost the one from my ISP and don't have the money for another one.
And no problems for having slow Wi-Fi connection,I am used to that. When I am in certain rooms (generally a room that is one room away) the Wi-Fi speed is slower than 56k . However the living room and kitchen provide good Wi-Fi,but that's because they're close to each other.

In the meantime just got a wallpaper for my Pentium 4. Here it is.

In my place we can get them for 8.50$ canadian (7.70chf) or even cheaper in Ebay

woohooo this is awesome thread i was sold my modern pc and build little retro setup by myself too some weeks ago (i do not have need for powerful pc anyway in home, just movies and skype, web browsing etc.). I think it is kinda last moments to use socket A as daily driver, so why not be with it couple of years. I have kinda nostalgic feelings about soc A, i had them 4pcs back in the day they was modern..

cpu: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ @ ~2,4GHz /socekt A
mobo: Asus A7V880 /KT880
mem: 2x1GB Corsair XMS PC4000 dual @ ~440MHz
vid: HIS Radeon HD4670 1GB AGP
sound: Creative SB Live! CT4830
hdd:
rom: Sony Optiarc AD-5280S-01 DVD±RW
psu: 350W enermax



the most complicated part was finding suitable tower cooler and mobo with desired KT800 chipset and suitable mounting holes. btw, amd was told not to use cooler that weights more than 300g with soc A, that big boy is almost 1kg close enough..

also i need something interesting for ssd/hdd. after long research I was discovered ssd with native SATA-150, Stec Mach 8 - should be working with via 8237 controller what do not have automatic speed detection (wont recognize any sataII or III device) but not yet received that ssd to say if its working here or not. If not im going to use some cool oldschool 10k rpm hdd. at the moment im stuck on really slow laptop hdd

 

[JunkBear]

Power supply is little bit too low since they recommend a minimum of 450w fort this agp card. I have thé same but mine is thé overclocked version.

Thank you for comment, thats good point.

However according to power consumption calculator (max power usage with this conf should be around ~220..250W) and knowledge that (hopefully) enermax is premium class manufacturer there should not be any troube. I was also done little testing with multimeter and voltage was very nice and stable during any workload. Probably that warning on HIS homepage is rather oriented for people who using really old PSUs to make them aware and point out it would be reasonable to upgrade PSU as well (at least this was my thought.. that AGP interface target market might be little be tricky)

also I am really positively surprised, that this configuration is able to run Youtube on HD, it is kinda awesome in my opinion, that platform dated back more than 10 years

It can run 1080p. SMPlayer FTW

8800 Ultra R.O.G coming tomorrow
pics will follow

 

[JunkBear]

Just saw this at thrift store but I did not bought since I have no useage for it.

 

[Steevo]

My old rig, and when I finally had a digital camera.

 

[GreiverBlade]

soo 8800 Ultra R.O.G (oh well it's just a sticker on a slightly enhanced ref cooler eh?) some site ref it as a 8800GTX


the only review i found of it tested it on a EVGA 680i SLI mobo ... and my Striker Extreme is .. a .. 680i SLI freaking happy

Intel Core2 Duo (775 Socket) based computer

• CPU: Intel Core2 Duo Extreme X6800 (2930 MHz) (L2=4096K) oh well Core2Duo 8400 is fine too
• Motherboard: EVGA nForce 680i SLI on NVIDIA nForce 680i ASUS ASUS ASUS!!!
• RAM: 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM Corsair 1142MHz (CAS (tCL)=5; RAS to CAS delay (tRCD)=5; Row Precharge (tRP)=5; tRAS=15) hum i have 4GB XMS2
• HDD: WD Caviar SE WD1600JD 160GB SATA eh 120gb IDE ... ohhh could be worse xD
• PSU: Tagan 1100-U95 (1100W). 600W i don't SLI and it's a single rail 45A on the 12V

Seeing it has SLI,do you plan getting another 8800 Ultra to use SLI?
