No, it wasn't.....but they hung in long after Mozilla cut it off.... -
Even Waterfox has ended support for Win7/8/8.1...
That said, it's hard to believe Win10 is 10 years old..........Leave a comment:

GPU with no core/processor & memory chips
Why the hell would anyone buy this, especially for that kind of money?

You can remove the copilot app and kill the trending searches....not sure where else it would lay....but what do I know.... This message brought to you from Mint 22.... 😌...Leave a comment:

10 and 11 are pretty much on par with being pukey.... GUI-wise, it boggles my mind why MS took away the ability to move the taskbar, I always like it vertically on the right side of the display....a feature that goes all the way back to windows 95.....why the fluck they thought it was a good idea to remove that ability I have no idea.
​Good to know... The only win7 systems I have left are not connected to the outside world, so I really don't worry too much about their security issues. My HTPC's are Win7.....forgot about them in the original post. They run WMC...Leave a comment:

I am down to 3 Windows workstations and one Windows Server on my LAN, everything that doesn't have a windows-specific need has been moved to Linux. Printing abilities with my large document centers are Linux's kryptonite; the reason for 2 of the Windows machines. The third machine still has Win7 on it, and isn't connected to the outside world. It has tons of software on it I use for diagnostics and updating various hardwares. My main rig is still Win10 Enterprise, so I had to vote Win10 in the poll...but I have overwhelmingly more linux machines than windows... -

2000 hour update....well close enough...

Nothing to really report; no problems or revisions.....but I did have a board in it creating one hell of a load!! X9DAI with a pair of E5-2667 V2's @ 3.3GHz 8C 16T 130W CPU's with 512GB RAM. Memtesting had it pulling nicely on the 12V rail.....

I honestly don't remember what make they were, but they would have been PC2100, no doubt....Leave a comment:

Looks good. I still have a P3TDDE as well. It's a sdram board versus the DDR of the u-rn...both nearly impossible to find these days. Now to grab yourself a voodoo5 for yours. The perfect icing on the cake GPU for one of these....Leave a comment:

You need to set the FSB speed. It's default @ 66 (locked multiplier of 10.5), which is why you're only @ 700MHz. It sees both CPU's....good sign. You have to manually key it in, set it to 133, CPU's will show the correct speed then. If you're feeling frisky, you can try setting it higher....150 wasn't unheard of with these boards with good RAM & cooling....and of course chips that were friendly...but before venturing there, get it running correctly first.
I never was able to get 4GB to run right in this board either; it's not 'officially' supported by the chipset either even though...Leave a comment:

IMHO 90's era PC's were the real birth of PC gaming; and some really nifty hardware and games spawned from that time.....that's why they're in such demand....it's when PC's became 'fun'!! Stuff older than that, what do you really do with them; realistically?!? Sit and watch the cursor blink.... :yawn:...Leave a comment:

Sorry for the slow reply....I don't frequent BCN as much as I used to...
Always thrilled to see someone build one of these, they were great boards once you hit their sweet spot; which could be challenging sometimes!! Honestly, for reliability issues, I'd recap it in good lytics. If you choose to polymod, my first choice is Nichicon LG series; rule of thumb is half the cap's rated capacitance....but the closer the better.
I actually still have a DVD266u-RN in my retro fleet with a voodoo5 in it....

The last BIOS release for it was in 2021....that would have been a great time to slip in NVMe drivers.......Leave a comment:

Nice score!! Those cases can fit one of those goofy X7DCA board nicely. If you don't want to build it, I'm sure there's ample trade bait lingering around here!!

I don't think any of them had 'official' Paxville support; much like the Precision 470/670 systems.... I have a X6DA8-G2 that does, and 4 cores + 16gb RAM for a system of that era was fantastic. Most just called it good at the Irwindales @ 3.8GHz.....but ohhhhh the heat!! 🌶...Leave a comment:

No real plans for it....sell it eventually.
Which one? There were two different flavors of this board; one with DDR1 and the other with DDR2... The DDR2 versions is the X6DAL-TB2 iirc. I tried like hell to make Paxvilles run in it, but could never get it to see both CPU's. What drivers are missing? BIOS? I have a BIOS archive with a lot of SM stuff, let me know what revision and I'll see if I have it....Leave a comment:
