It works so easily that I forgot they were out of spec - when I tried to put an SiS card into my computer I couldn't figure out why it didn't work.
    Right, but I don't think pentium's Wildcats are so tolerant: it's safer to stick with standard fsb, so 100 MHz on 440BX and GX and 133 MHz on Via Apollo 133[A]/ 266 and ServerLet III chipsets.

      So, pentium, be sure you are plenty of 1000EB (you can't put Tualatins in this board) and registered SDRAMs.

      Are you positive you tossed that board and didn't just put it aside and forget about it? I still think it is a nice board.

        100FSB -> 133FSB Sloket.
        That's why I said you have to really research them.
        The better ones will run the CPU at 133 and leave the board at 100 but the advertising for them is usually vague as to what they actually do.
        Yes they fake VID, they also have to correct core voltage for some Tualatins.
        -
        If you don't see anything except resistors, caps, and jumpers on a sloket it's not going to correct the FSB.
        -
        The favored one was made by PowerLeap but for what those usually go for you could buy a better motherboard AND the CPU to go with it.

          I revive this thread a bit.
          Today a guy asked in it.comp.retrocomputing a powerful mobo with an Isa slot.
          Apart the Athlons mobos I found some months ago, four other ones didn't escape my notice:
          - Soyo SY-P4I845PE ISA (P4 mobo, Intel 845G, Agp 4x and 3 Isa slots! Impressive);
          - I-Base MB800 (an industrial mobo alike to the Soyo);
          - Advantech AIMB-740-B (845G based industrial mobo with two Isa slot but no Agp);
          - Advantech AIMB-742 (the 740 big sister: chipset 865G, Agp 4 and 8x, supports P4 which FSB is up to 800 MHz, so supports all Northwoods and perhaps early Prescotts too). This one is still sold for $280.

          Others proposed backplane boards (big boards with 6 to 20 expansion slots: the motherboard is really a daugthercard fitting in a slot), but they aren't waht you need; there are PCI -> ISA and USB -> ISA adapter too but they're for industrial market (extremely expensive).
          The cheapest of all is the ARS Tech USB2ISA adapter: it has 3 ISA slots connected through USB, and they claim their driver is good enough for Dos emulation under Windows. It costs $149 + shipping and an appropriate psu.

          I'll list other adapters too:
          - Cyberresearch PRO 700 (pci to isa adapter);
          - Cyberresearch PRO 300 (pci to cardbus adapter);
          - Costronic kit (this is a full DIY kit: you have to write your own drivers too);
          - FTDI page (the last one is an USB to ISA adapter);
          - Elan B100 (PCI to ISA 8 bit, requires a backplane);
          - ARS Tech converters (among them there is the USB2ISA).

            That first Soyo is pretty darn sexy.
            So long as I could cram at least a gig of ram and a 2.4Ghz P4 into the thing as well as one of my AGP cards, that there is another nice board.

              Bear in mind all those pretty silver caps are G-Luxon, Sacon (a.k.a. "GSC-II"), and OST. (The OST might even be counterfeits. They have an odd vent stamp and it looks JUST LIKE the odd stamp on the GSC-II,, I mean Sacons.)

                Oh yeah.
                Just the fact that it is a soyo makes me know that at least one cap on the board will be of questionable quality. It's a given.

                    That's true for the Soyo and the I-Base, so excuse me: they got discarded that time because the Agp slot wasn't a Pro one, so I forgot them.

                        so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                        i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                        Hello guys,
                        I have interesting problem. My MoBo MSI running on Ryzen 7 w/o graphics just good. I swapped to Ryzen 5 5600G and on the boot I stuck with screen on picture. Enter Password. I checked BIOS setting with Ryzen 7, no security is enabled, BIOS password or TPM.
                        BIOS I updated to last one.
                        any suggestions?
                        And same thing for two different 5600G, and yes, MoBo supposed to support it.
                        Thank you...

                        by mrsith
                        Hi guys,

                        I have a friend's Dell 3779 that came to me with severely shorted mobo. Did not manage to isolate the cause, most likely that was a bga shorted. Went for a replacement motherboard. Got one from China, apparently it's been tested prior to shipping. The mobo starts up normally but I am getting no display whatsoever.

                        Tried using external monitor, but being blind I am not sure if laptops goes as far as booting to Windows, a d without it I cannot get hdmi to work. Can't see boot menu options to make sure it boots to Windows. Went ahead and did a blind bios update,...

                        HI I have a PC using a Corsair cx600 psu & ASRock B450 Pro4 mother board that won't power on after a shutdown (replaced a dead drive in a raid array) Not the boot drive.

                        With most things unplugged, including the 24 pin ATX connector, but not the ATX12v to cpu, I have +5.01V on the +5vsb pin 9 from the PSU. When I plug the 24 pin back in to the mobo, the +5vsb fluctuates between 1.1v & 1.9v.

                        Not sure where to go from here ?

                        Is the PSU at fault or is the mobo causing the problem

                        Look forward to any help :-)

                        Hi, everyone. First post of an actual repair. I'm a technician but a complete newbie with laptops.

                        So I got this Dell Inspiron to play with.

                        No charger, so I connected to my bench PSU.
