i recently found those 2 laptops, Toshiba t2150CDT/520 and Compaq Contura 430c. But i wonder, how do i access the BIOS on them? there's no on-screen guide for that.

Is there a place where i can get sheets for replacing capacitors on sound cards? I heard that Creative didn't used the proper capacitors for their SB16 cards, so i would like to know where i could find data sheets about which capacitors to use instead, so i could ask a friend to do the...

Does anyone here know where i could get all the drivers for my IBM Netvista A40? (Type 6578 i believe), the board's model number is "06P2525" I only have the MicroATX board now, i figured out the pinouts for the power button, HDD and Power LEDs. But now it seem like i can't find the right...

Quick question, will the Creative (made by Matsushita) CR-563-B work on the Creative 3DO Blaster card? on many places it says the only model that work with it is the CR-563, so i wonder if the "-B" will work too. Or maybe the "-B" is only there to distinguish the Creative-logo'ed one from the...

I found out the pinouts for the front panel of the IBM 06P2525 motherboard (Pentium 3, Socket 370, MicroATX, AGP 4x/2x), since it have a proprietary connector BUT standard pins on it, i thought i would figure the pinouts and post this here: you're welcome!

i got an Intel 06P2525 main board lately, MicroATX, AGP 4x/2x, and i've been wondering if it's compatible with Tualatin-core S370 Pentium 3 processors? And also, is it compatible with 512mb SDRAM PC133 sticks? The chipset seem to be an Intel 815. the model number is actually "06P2525 01" on...

i'm looking for a fully fonctionnal Dell Latitude C840 laptop with a Geforce4 Go Ti4200 (also called "4200 Go") 64mb inside. Screen should be clean without weird scratches in it. It's alright if don't include hard disk, RAM, or DVD-drive with it, and if the battery is dead, then just remove it...

i got 2 cards recently, both are from Chaintech. Geforce FX 5500 256mb. and Geforce FX 5700LE 128mb. Which one should i use in a proper PC setup? (meaning which one is faster, seeing that both seem to be almost equally-fast, and both seem to be compatible AGP 2x/4x (and possibly 8x?) thanks...

i found in one of my boxes a Seanix "Nipigon" Riva128 AGP...but i thought they only made PCI Riva128, while the ZX had the option to be AGP! Is that a common thing to use PCI cards and turn them into AGP cards? if i believe this sticker, it have 4mb...and only the PCI version had 4mb if i...

i have a 4gb CompactFlash here, a regular one from Sandisk, with a CF-IDE adapter (i have 2 kinds: internal that goes directly on the IDE connector, and one that take a slot behind and connected with a IDE ribbon). I tried formatting the card so it work for installing DOS...it did worked for...

i finally know what's that "Mind" board now, it's a UM4980, v1.4. But like a dumbass, i forgot to take a picture of that battery plugged on the board, i remember it being 4 something volts, and being a NiCD i think (it looked like 3 x AAA batteryes wrapped together with 2 wires sticking out)...

hi! i got this computer last Sunday. And by checking IBM's PDF here (i have the 6562 model): http://ps-2.kev009.com/pccbbs/commercial_desktop/dts6067f.pdf The computer seem to be equipped with EDO ram, yet...the slots seem to be SDRAM. Now my question...do you think real SDRAM sticks would...

I don't know what's wrong, but with my copy of Lost Eden, i KNOW it was running well on my computer at the time (386SX 25Mhz, 4mb RAM, SB Pro, CDRom 1x...) but then a year or so ago, i tested it on many old PCs and it freeze, everytime i talk to the guard (Thugg), the game just freeze. I tried...

I'm looking to upgrade my S3 805 card which is VLB, it have 1mb built-in, and have 2 sockets for EDO 40pins SOJ to add an extra 1mb, but all i have at home are pieces of 256kb. It does support up to 2mb of memory, so this is why i'm looking for those.

ok i'm trying to figure out but i'm just confused now... i have the GK-01 LED display on a case, and it's set for "100Mhz turbo, 40Mhz no-turbo", and i would like to set it for "66Mhz turbo, 33Mhz no-turbo". How do i have to set it up? link...

I found that a week ago from a guy who live nearby. (there's an Intel 486 Overdrive DX2ODPR66 CPU that goes on it, just not in the photo) With some research, i found out that it was some kind of computers retail chain in Canada, but for some reasons, there's no real brand on the cards inside...

Today i got that Socket3 board, and it seem to be designed by Arvida Technology Ltd. and made in Canada. When you do a search for Arvida, it give you a small settlement in Saguenay, Quebec. (which is the province where i live) Any more informations someone might have here? i can't find...

well on most of my DOS computers (486DX4 100Mhz, Pentium 75Mhz and Pentium 100Mhz), when i run UNIVBE with a VESA-compatible card, even if the card have more than 1mb of memory, UNIVBE still detect only 1mb...is that normal? For example, i tried many PCI cards (S3, Cirrus Logic, ATI...
