    Finding a "Clean" motherboard

    right now gigabit lan is useless for me. I have cable and, while fast, it's not even close to 10Mb. Transfers between my PC's are sufficiently fast across my 100Mb switch, so I have no pressing need for gigabit. RAID - If I were running a heavy transaction server, I'd look into RAID, but I'd...

    486 motherboard question (I'm serious here!)

    I know. But it's not as stupid as the guy that ultra-super cooled his 486 (with a small freezer no less), overclocked it and ran Half-Life on it. Everyone's entitled to one stupid project to get themselves Slashdotted. Detroit Techno http://allways.nu http://www.geocities.com/labwerx

    486 motherboard question (I'm serious here!)

    K... I'm building up a PC (slowly) as a sort of Frankenstein project. I have an FIC PIO-2 486 motherboard and an AMD 5x86 133 processor (raw processor, not as an "upgrade" chip). Right now, it has 128MB RAM, and intel 10/100 NIC, and a couple of 4.3GB drives. What I want to do over time is see...

    Finding a "Clean" motherboard

    Having said that (about the intel/abit boards), what solution is there for an Athlon. I really liked my Duron, and have built DAW machines in the past based on slotA classic and thunderbird Athlon's on AMD 751 based boards. Rock solid and stable as hell. VIA is not an option (nor are hybrid AMD...

    Finding a "Clean" motherboard

    See, there's the other problem. With my last board, I couldn't disable the RAID controller. I've come across a few boards like that. It's unfortunate that boards have this on-board stuff. I don't like paying for something that I don't want, and would never use anyways. Besides that, a lot of...

    Finding a "Clean" motherboard

    I've pretty much given up on finding a "Clean" motherboard. What I mean by "clean" is a board completely devoid of add-on garbage. No on-board video, audio, raid, lan, or modem. A board who's PCI slots are not tied to the same IRQ as a bunch of other devices - not with ACPI (thankfully I can...
