Ok... an update. I decided the solder joints probably didn't take due to me not cleaning the pads after desoldering, and hence them possibly having electrolyte still on them. Thi…

But that soldering job .. I am not going there. Click to expand... Please do go there. It's rubbish, I know that. I was actually wondering if cold solder joints (it was very di…

Double check your work (make sure the + and - of the capacitors is in the correct spot). The video needs the 1uf 50V capacitors to work. No bong means either the capacitor on the …

...unless you are using a decent PowerMac, a CF card will not hamper you much. Click to expand... I don't want to be hampered at all. Indeed, I want a speed boost for reads an…

I suppose the SCSI bus is hindered by age, and by a dog-slow system bus. Click to expand... Very much so. These are not SE/30s and not SCSI but you get the idea. http://poopr.…

I got a Presario 2100 a few days ago, similar specs to this. Nice catch, but is it a clunker?

I have an XP2000+ Athlon in an older game rig here, it is a very nice chip. That video card is a bit crappy, but for free its good enough. My system has a slightly newer Geforce F…
