GREG MILLER Posted September 25, 2001 Report Posted September 25, 2001 Look you can turn that old Pentium or 486 machine of yours into a smoking word processor!!! I actually do have a 486, and if I had the money, I would try this out and call the machine Frankenstein.
Menchise Posted September 25, 2001 Report Posted September 25, 2001 Hehe.Actually, Frankenstein was the name of the scientist, not the monster.
Põdi Posted September 25, 2001 Report Posted September 25, 2001 I actually have a Powerleap PLiP3 slocket in my PC, and I'm quit impresssed with it. It allowed me to stick a celeron 633 in my old 66Mhz FSB mobo. With this new thingy, won't you still be restricted by your old mobo FSB?
aramike Posted September 25, 2001 Report Posted September 25, 2001 My question is, would this thing allow you to continue using alternative graphics cards (PCI)?Edit: Nevermind. Doesn't look like I'd still be able to use the old Voodoo card. Looked good otherwise, but I need a 3D accelerator. It says it has an "integrated 3D accelerated VGA" onboard, but who the hell knows what that is EXACTLY?[ 09-25-2001: Message edited by: aramike ]

You move all your mobo connections over to this card, including the Power Supply cable. The ISA slot is only for mounting purposes. As such, all the expansion slots (ISA, PCI, AGP) on your old mobo are now disabled; and that means bye bye 3D Vidcard, as well as anything else in those slots.They claim that the integrated video is equivalent to an Nvida TnT2, and can share as much as 64megs of the main memory.If you look around the site, they are also evaluating the new Nforce chipset as a viable future solution.
Hector Socas Navarro Posted September 25, 2001 Report Posted September 25, 2001 $469???? For that money I can almost get a brand new Athlon system at e-bay
demolition Posted September 25, 2001 Report Posted September 25, 2001 i'd rather buy a brand new system on e-bayonly 1 gb memory OMG!!!!!
