Re: AMD wins!
My K6-2/500 on an Asus P5A motherboard was slower than a 333MHz Pentium II in most applications, but it was stable. That was the first computer I had that didn't crash.
I also had a Cyrix MII-333 (the weird 83MHz bus version). It was equivalent to a 200MHz Pentium MMX in everything I tried to run on it, but it was also stable on a decent motherboard.Comment

Re: AMD wins!
i still have the K6-2, it ran for over a decade 24/7 before i retired it.
100MHz bus using sdram and a FIC VA503 mobo.
just dont use the usb ports - usb1.0 was bugged, intel fucked the design spec. (intel again!!)Comment

Re: AMD wins!
K6-2 was still useable last time I checked.
I think I still have a SS7 machine, although mine has a Pentium MMX 233, 256MB of RAM and a 4.3GB HDD.
Didn't use the onboard USB either, as I opted for a NEC-chipset based PCI USB2.0 card.
GPU is a 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 AGP.
Main rig:
Gigabyte B75M-D3H
Core i5-3470 3.60GHz
Gigabyte Geforce GTX650 1GB GDDR5
16GB DDR3-1600
Samsung SH-224AB DVD-RW
FSP Bluestorm II 500W (recapped)
120GB ADATA + 2x Seagate Barracuda ES.2 ST31000340NS 1TB
Delux MG760 case

Re: AMD wins!
With Reliability or in general?
The Problem with K6(-2) was the shitty aluminium heat spreader and also the tooth paste between die and Lid.
Yes, AMD introduced Heatspreader and not soldering the Heatspreader (they then did that with the K8)...

here some pictures of that:

Re: AMD wins!
Still have a AMD K6-233 in a Intel chipset motherboard. The machine would actually be stable except I deliberately put in the worst ram I have (it has flaky cells).
It only runs SDRAM at PC-66 speeds, and since I don't really need the computer, it got the bad 256MB PC133 stick. Compound the fact the L2 is disabled with "that much" RAM in the machine...Comment

Re: AMD wins!
I still have everything I mentioned except the P5A. I now have a second K6-2/500 in a Compaq with an SiS 5598 chipset. It's even slower (mostly because of the early chipset integrated graphics), but it runs okay. USB 1.0 even works.Comment

Re: AMD wins!
my spec was:
FIC va503a mobo
512MB of pc133 ram
AGP nvidia TNT graphics, later upgraded to G-FORCE4
pci soundblaster card.
pci scsi card
pci network card (realtek)
it was fucking fast - probably because of the scsi card.Comment

Anybody has? I don't even have the strength to whine about how EVERYBODY on the whole fucking planet is so dumb to only REPEAT link to frelling AMD site WHICH CEASES TO EXIST after few months instead of HAVING the stinking file to download FROM THEIR OWN SERVER, for fucks sake. Would laugh if it did not make me cry
So after quite intensive search, this thing seems to be impossible to find.
For the record - 15.7.1 is totaly fucked up for DXVA, 15.6 is latest reported working one.
This is actually quite interesting that AMD always FUCKS UP some driver line, usually... -
Looking for advice.

I have this LG Gram 13, from 2020. Recently, it seems that the battery simply won't charge. It's drained down to 0%, and will now only turn on when plugged in, either through USB-C or the DC charger plug.
I've opened the back to look for anything obvious but it all looks fine. I tested the voltage on the DC charger and its all fine.
What next? Is it possible the battery is fucked? I've read there are control circuits on the battery itself that regulates charging. Can that... -
Either I am getting old or dumb, probably both.
This “simple” linear power supply is driving me insane. Should be easy, right?
Here is the story. Got that Astron RS-7A or 10A as stone dead. I mean turned on and got 0.00V not even an mV on the output. Why dat? Darn electrolytic output capacitor shorted at the binding posts. No, problem… new one in stock and mounted.
Turned the PSU on again and now I got 0.1V on the binding posts. Everything clear like sunny day and replaced the LM723 regulator IC in the socket. Had it made, I thought.... -
hi there
no sound on this crap laptop giving me headaches

Although it is far from my main field of interest, people here keep asking me to fix their flat screen TV's.
So far, the problems have generally been on the PSU, the T-Con or the backlights, all of which have been relatively straightforward.
As far as the main board, or SSB, is concerned, the only real issues I've encountered have been bad caps and fucked BGA soldering.
It has also become clear that 'stuck in standby' is a common problem, and something which I no experience with yet could waste lots of time on without an understanding of how the 3v3 is sent to trigger...
