I have the new processor and floppy drive installed! The previous beep code is alleviated due to the correct FSB speed. There is still no display. The keyboard Num/Caps/Scroll lock lights now respond to input. But I am greeted by a new beep code: 1-2. The description is: "search for option...

Upon reading the manual a second time something caught my eye... In the Video Config Menu (BIOS options) The "Default Primary Video Adapter" is set to AGP. You can select PCI but if I have no display I can't really do that lol... so I suppose I need an AGP card in order to see the BIOS options...

I was just cleaning up this project from my table(s) and found an insert that I had missed! The insert came with my motherboard and lists Pentium III's from 450-600MHz as supported, but of course with 100MHz bus only... just thought I'd include this find. I'm sure they started throwing in the...

Thanks a lot for you help. I think I'll try and find a cheap-ish Pentium II so I have something with a 100FSB to see if it will post... reading old forums I am getting a lot of conflicting info on 133FSB use with this MOBO.

Hey guys. I just completed my build. Intake, psu and cpu fans all fire up, cd drive lights up. But I don't get any display and I get this beep code: 1-4-3-3 Interestingly the manual that came with the mobo (new/sealed) only lists 2 beep codes! However this link is the complete documentation...

hey hellraiser, I'm estimating around 300 for the system build (avoiding used parts). I did just pick up Red Alert, Starcraft, Total Annihilation and 1 expansion for each. I lucked out and got them all from one collector on ebay. I think I might have been slightly late to the party though and...

I would like to build a retro gaming PC and start a humble little big box game collection based on my favorite childhood games. And NO I do not want to run a VM!!! I want an authentic late 90's gaming machine with a gigantic CRT monitor shooting cancer rays through my skull! The mission: build...
