    Re: Installing 98SE and or ME

    64mb and 386mb are not the same

    i used to use a micron transport trek2 with 366 pII and 128mb of ram...it originally had xp pro (used as dynamo label writer station).. it WAS slow at loading windows (the program windows, not the os)... you could see it start at the top and move down, lol. it still did not run too bad... until the tiny 6gb ibm hd gave up and i had to run it on 2000... it still was used alot since my other laptop had no battery but this thing did. it died when i was using it and fell asleep and hit the screen. how sad i was since it had a big 1024/768 screen and s-video out, and 2 usb ports... my eee pc 1000he does the job now, but that thing was my best friend at the time, hands down.

      98SE runs in 64mb, because that is its upper memory limit.
      Any additional RAM is used as a disk cache, not for apps.

      NetWare 4 runs just fine in 64mb.
      I had a law office on a P233 and 64mb for years.
      Not every OS is a pig.

        ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING - M.2_2 port not working correctly with SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD
        by DynaxSC
        Hi,

        I have an really very weired issue with ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING.

        Some NVME (PCIe) SSD's are not working correctly in the second M.2 socket. An example of it is the SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD.
        Some other NVME (I have only smaller ones) disk do work without any problem, also SAMSUNG disks, eg an MZVPV128HDGM-0000.

        The behaviour is also really very strange, i.e.:
        • The disk shows always up in BIOS - so it is recognized, so far so good
        • POST-ing with this disk with fresh Windows 24H2 installation (done in the M.2_1 socket) in the M.2_2 socket
        ...

        Nintendo Switch Oled HEG-001: Second-Stage Boot Failure
        by privato89
        Hello everyone,

        I'm facing an issue with a HEG-001 motherboard that is unable to complete the Second-Stage Boot. I'd like to start directly with my conclusion, which is the decision to replace the MAX77621AEWI chip, and understand if it could be a correct evaluation.

        Before I dive into the process that led me to this decision, I want to mention that I have a fully equipped lab where I can perform any kind of tests.

        Let's begin:

        Following some guides online, I tried to understand how the Boot phase of the Nintendo Switch works, and what are the...

        Xiaomi router freezes at boot after re-capping
        by hinisa
        I'm using Xiaomi Router 4A gigabit edition as wireless repeater. It worked fine for 2 years or so, but last week, wireless started to disappear.

        When I unplug/replug the power, it was working fine for a day/half a day or so until it freezes again.

        After testing with different power supply adapters and concluding it wasn't the issue I finally opened the case and this was the situation:



        Anyway I proceed to clean up the mess and replace all caps but unfortunately it made the situation worse. Now router can't even boot, either it freezes during...
