That one isn't mine. Mine's a 15 inch.

Edit: information on this monitor is incredibly sparse. I tried searching for it on Google and I only found it in copies of monitor databases for XConfig.

Hello to all

Any ABIT AB-BH6 owner in here , that has a board with Revision later than 1.2 ?
I have a BE6 but I don't know where to find the Rev. Do I need to look at the post screen because I don't see a Rev printed on the board.

IIRC the last ISA slot should say the revision... although yours is a BE6.

I do have a BH6 (my earlier post :) ) but mine is a rev 1.02 board, POST string 2A69KA1EC. Credit goes to soggi for the guide below.

TopGun Combat Zone is a good one. Remembering it fondly.
I have installed the Vanilla version.the other one says *You have to mount this ISO file with a Virtual Drive tool which tool such as *ImDisk Toolkit*or extract this ISO file with a ZIPP-Archive tool as *7-ZIP*
2.After this you can browse the folders and choose what you want to install.
So it is not a actual OS.
I have burnt it now.
Can i put them on a USB stick and do it that way?
Or put the dvd in the drive and do it off the dvd? o_OI have put it on another board GA 81 G1000

I had no issues installing. As stated in PM, just reburned the ISO and tested install on a spare drive, no issues.

its time.jpg

...to upgrade my mid 2000 retro gaming PC. The X800GTO is getting kinda long in the tooth, the fan has been noisy ever since I got it so think I'm going retire it for HD 4850. It doesn't have any brand on it but it does have the HIS IceQ4 cooler on it, minus the sticker. It looks incredibly clean too, this is how I get it when I buy it (I can't even remember when did I bought this lol)

4850.jpg


Having some difficulty of getting it run, the card above didn't boot but I have a second one that boots after I give the PCB some brushing. I need to clean this PC as well, it's being neglected for some time now, as I usually play on slightly older early 2000 retro gaming PC. It's whisper quiet, runs NFSU2 very well indeed. Maybe I should install Crysis? Nah I don't think this PC can handle the game. It crash in 3DMARK2001SE too I don't know why. Maybe the Catalyst 9.1 that I install is the issue? I'll try older driver...

Is that a Gigabyte K8NF-9 I see there?

btw your card does have a HIS cooler because that's the actual OEM who made that 4850. Easiest giveaway is that HIS S/N sticker in the 2nd photo :D

Yep that's right. I see that's interesting, sad that the other card got burn marks on it so I can't CF these two. Also this card isn't stable at stock speed I need to downclock the core from stock 650MHz to something like 625MHz or 600MHz. I've tried disabling Catalyst AI and change drivers but it still crash on some games/benchmark, most notably 3DMark2001SE

A couple of pickups this weekend, both needed various TLC, and as such both are in somewhat of a refurbished/restored condition now complete with fresh PTM7950 for the GPU's.

ATI FireGL V7600 512M - appears to be a specs match for a 2900Pro given what GPU-Z is telling me about my sample and cross refencing other sources. Awesome to have R600 join the stables.

I remember that the dying 7900 GS that my Dell XPS 410 used to have had a really noisy fan. The shroud design on that 7800 GT is cool but I can't imagine that card was very quiet.

It's certainly got a whine to it at 100% fan but it's not tooooo bad. The biggest issue at first was it being clogged by dust, like between the fan and the fins it was totally blocking any air actually passing through the heatsink. A comprehensive teardown, clean and new PTM7950 has it running about 65c on a custom fan curve, but that's near 100% fan lol.
