TUSL2-C + Windows Me=Memory problems, Freemem required

Agreed! . I`d upgrade to an NT based OS like 2K or XP ASAP with a meaty tualatin based system as they handle memory and , well, everything else - far better.. IMO 98 is for sub-500Mhz / Sub 256Mb systems as iit`s getting long in the tooth and M.E is for people you don`t like.. ;)

Figuring Out AGP Card for older MoBo

All I can say and go by is my fileserver board which is a Shuttle HOT661P, a first generation BX (not coppermine capable, ATA33 etc) and it has AGP2X and works fine with a GeForce-2 GTS or a GF2 MX400, I haven`t tried anything better as it was my main machine and when I upgraded to the Athlon...

Will prices on P3s ever come down?

I think that things are only going to get worse pricewise :( - as the socket-370 CPUs are discontinued, the faster ones will become more and more valuable especially the Coppermine ones which run on the largest number of motherboards, even now, a Celeron Cu 1.0 is more expensive in the UK than a...

Is this ancient CPU worth anything???

As a complete P200 machine with a 1Gb HDD and 32Mb RAM is virtually worthless thesedays, I doubt that a P75-a-like bare CPU is going to fetch much!.. I have an original IBM PC somewhere with the 64Kb motherboard (earliest one upgraded from 16K !! ) and the tape interface where most of the...

Now THIS is a first: motherboard with vacuum-tube sound circuitry!

I have nothing whatsoever against Tube amps.. it`s putting them after a garbage audio system to try and con users into thinking they`re getting top notch sound that`s the irritation.. Try a pair of expensive Valve monoblocks on the end of a £50 Ghetto blaster as see if they make the thing...

Best reasonably priced motherboard?

The SiS 745 based MSI 745 Plus Turbo or whatever it`s called seems to be the best (semi) Budget Athlon board out there, it`s like an ECS K7S6A with far more to offer..

ASUS TUSL2-C and Windows 98 problem

I Agree with Oldfart - do exactly the same, but in my case by the time a machine is running a Tualatin ( or even a fast Coppermine like my 566@850 on a CUSL2), Win98 goes out of the - Ahem - Window I really like the original 98 but The rule of thumb I go by is that if it`s 500Mhz or faster...

How hot is too hot? (1.0A Celeron)

My brothers 1.2@1400 runs at 36 degC at full load with a GlobalWin FOP32-2 (4500RPM fan) Athon cooler which costs about £8 far more efficient than the Stock unit - for the record, I`m using the 1200`s now redundant stock cooler on my 566@850, it`s no great shakes, that`s going to get the...

Asus CUSL2 Beta Bios ???

Thanks Andy & Mastertech .. I`ll flash it up then :) .. The TUSL2 apparently gained Voltage control in a Beta release ! .. Ah well at least they`re still developing BIOSes for these boards, shame that they don`t give out information as to what they fix..

QUICK!!!! WHICH MOTHERBOARD FOR A CELERON!!!!!

Thanks BlackHawk and Oldfart.. It`s back to the old chestnut of "Would you use a Beta BIOS" - I asked this in another forum wondering if there were any improvements with 1012 on the CUSL2 - it would seem that there were for the TU version.. Did they fix the AGP problem oldfart mentioned in any...

Now THIS is a first: motherboard with vacuum-tube sound circuitry!

THAT is totally rediculous! -- You`d think that they`d start fitting top notch studio standard 24bit 96Khz Audio chips first like those used by Midiman, Event and Digidesign! .. a lot cheaper and more efficient than a VALVE pre-amp tacked onto the end of a crap AC97 codec and it would sound a...

1.3 Celeron - Anyone OC it yet? Also, what's the diff - CeleronA vs. Coppermine P3

"""[ Asus CUSL2-C BP Celeron 1.1A @ 1.5GHz """ Sounds like you`ve been having fun wire-wrapping and ZIF Socket hacking there ;) .. The 1.0 or 1.1 will be the route I`ll take for my CUSL2 should the heavily OC`d Cu566 croak :) ...

Asus CUSL2 Beta Bios ???

Thanks folks - As for problems, Nope, i don`t have any but BIOSes mature and get optimized particularily in the RAM dep`t and we all want some of that don`t we ;-) .. And Hey, you never know but they might have even tweaked the onboard video to be as dizzyingly fast as a PCI Banshee !!! - I`d...
