A pity. I figured that was the case, but thought I'd ask. Well... I *could* try to overclock my 386.

Caddberry · « **Reply #151 on:** 2001-01-18 11:17:00 »

I think the only way i could overclock mine would be in the jumper settings... cuz its locked up in my bios (P III 550) Phoenix bios... forget the version # though. but i still got my old p III 450 chip lying around here somewhere.

Is this topic still going!

Its quite big!

The Skillster · « **Reply #153 on:** 2001-01-18 19:52:00 »

overclocking will only take you as high as the motherboard will allow, in your case srethron, i dont think your board even supports 486! so i dont think itll ever get past 33to50 mhz!

Srethron Askvelhtnod · « **Reply #154 on:** 2001-01-18 20:14:00 »

The Skillster: A friend of mine has some old motherboards for his dead 486 and Pentium 75 lying around. I thought I'd replace the 386's board with one of 'em, fiddle with the settings, turn it on, and call 911.

The Skillster · « **Reply #155 on:** 2001-01-18 21:07:00 »

hmm, i doubt a 486 motherboard can take a 386. there are different pin arrangements.
i was messing with 486's last year.

The Skillster · « **Reply #156 on:** 2001-01-18 21:10:00 »

911, yep those cpu's get mighty hot. ALL cpu's should have heat sinks+fans - in my opinion. have you ever touched a 486 while its running? ouch!

dagsverre · « **Reply #157 on:** 2001-01-18 22:12:00 »

On the side note, if you created a 486 with today's technology it would probably be stone cold (due to the massively decreased size).

The Skillster: You're right. Guess I'll go back to saving my hard earned spare cash.

The Skillster · « **Reply #160 on:** 2001-01-19 02:18:00 »

ah, you can grab plenty of used bits from auctions, or grab very good deals in the US.

Srethron Askvelhtnod · « **Reply #161 on:** 2001-01-19 16:41:00 »

Yeah, but I'd rather wait a while and go for the complete deal from these folks.

If you want a premade system....I think this site is pretty good . I'm waiting for the DDR Athlon to get on the list...it's not there right now.....Look at the difference in CPU price for the P4 1.4gig and the Athlon 1.2gig. They also have the Asus A7V motherboard....I wonder if it's the revision with the Dip switches.

Yay, we've reached the 5th page!!!

Since the page it so long already, I might as well suggest something, let's visit each others web pages(for those who have web pages) and we'll all comment on it one by one. This should keep the thread going on even longer!
Let's start with my page! http://www.finalfantasyfanatics.net" TARGET=_blank>http://www.finalfantasyfanatics.net
Actually, I haven't updated my site in ages but I do have a new beta one in my hard disk. I'm not intending to upload it till I'm fully done with it. Just a habit of mine.

Cool Page man.. although i didnt like how it just went to full screen without me telling it too.. cuz i use a Free ISP and have a crappy banner ad on my screen.. other than that its smooth

Srethron Askvelhtnod · « **Reply #165 on:** 2001-01-19 20:15:00 »

I agree with Cadberry on both counts. The site's cool, but I'm also using an ISP with a banner, which creates problems. It also loads somewhat slowly, but I assume that's because I'm in the US. I'm about to release my web hub, but I'd like to finish it up first.

« **Reply #166 on:** 2001-01-19 21:15:00 »

I'm Malaysian 19 (31st Jan)
400MHz 128MB 3DLabs Permedia 2
good enough to play FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX

hope that Square will release FFX for PC....

The SaiNt · « **Reply #167 on:** 2001-01-19 22:10:00 »

Ah, actually some people that have seen my site have complained about it to, but it's only a minority group. Anyway, the only reason I made it full screen was that being LAZY, that was the easiest way to fit the content into an 800x600 resolution without rethinking the layout structure. I might add an option to switch between modes but not anytime soon.

ryasko · « **Reply #168 on:** 2001-01-20 02:56:00 »

Swapping sites, huh? Mine is called Final Fantasy PC Help ( http://www.ffpchelp.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.ffpchelp.com ). I'm adding some style to the site, but I've only finished the Main Page so far.

The Skillster · « **Reply #169 on:** 2001-01-20 16:26:00 »

id like to plug my site in here, but i dont think it would stand on its own feet yet (v.basic right now). so ill wait another year before i show off my site

The SaiNt · « **Reply #170 on:** 2001-01-20 06:44:00 »

This thread wont last whole year
And I've been to ffpchelp.com before. I like the new front page. How did you get the domain?

ryasko · « **Reply #171 on:** 2001-01-20 09:12:00 »

I created the site "ffpchelp.com" because I was tired of going into newsgroups and seeing people posting questions for the same problem over and over. So I decided to make a website. The first one was http://ffpchelp.homestead.com" TARGET=_blank>Homestead . Then I got serious about it and had the name registered at Register.com (and had to pay for it). Then someone I know offered me some web space, so I took advantage of it.

cHiBiMaRuKo · « **Reply #172 on:** 2001-01-20 11:35:00 »

Hmm.. my current homepage is http://www.penjejakbadai.net" TARGET=_blank>http://www.penjejakbadai.net
Don't really have anything to do with it for now, except for hosting my FF9 patch file ( maybe also for the future ).

Also have a couple of other URLs but I let my friends use it for their website instead.

StrayWings · « **Reply #173 on:** 2001-01-20 15:48:00 »

Kenapa Penjejak Badai?

Why like tat one ar?

Well, it is a nice site. Too many clours though....make a board something like Qhimm's, simple and beautiful. Anyways, it is a nice board *nicer than anything I would do*

Srethron Askvelhtnod · « **Reply #174 on:** 2001-01-21 16:35:00 »

The SaiNt: Well, I hope you can make those changes at some point then.

I have made several sites, but my personal one isn't finished yet. A little site I have come pretty far with is here: http://www.ff7gold.cjb.net/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.ff7gold.cjb.net/
