Some of that is due to chipset/motherboard and not the CPU itself. Max ram per slot limits kind of thing.

Yeah...Intel's chipsets of the time were all over the place.

No?

 

*When speaking of Retail flavors of Windows, XP and 7 32 bit 3.25GB is the max memory they can address because of limits placed in the kernel by MS. Something like Windows Server and Windows NT were able to use all 4GB. I went through this with XP back in the day for a long time with my 775 system.

I was going with the max addressable memory for a 32bit os, 4gb, I was not saying XP could do 4gb (had a xp system, 4x1gb ddr2,  was so confused by the fact that it would only say that 3.25gb existed. But on the same system, 10 32bit would do all 4gb.

I could use some help with this!

MS and their shenanigans...

 

I ordered enough caps to do the Compaq board. @FakeKGB I'll find another Saturday to run it up to you. I do have Lubuntu 16.04 on it, booting, updated to current, and working but I want to re-cap it anyway. I'll give you the extra caps too, I'm sure you'll find a use for them. It's easy for me to do since I have a decent soldering iron, solder, and solder wick on hand. Unless you desperately want to do it yourself of course, I'm not sure my car inverter would run a digital soldering iron properly lol otherwise I'd give you a quick re-cap lesson in the library parking lot.

It's cool but what band does it use? It's probably not compatible with any current network security or anything...and also very slow.

According to the shield it's 802.11b. 11 whole megabits per second!

And definitely not compatible. If I want to use WiFi on my XP laptop I have to use the guest network because it doesn't support WPA2.

Here's to hoping your 3.4E and Asus board work out, you should be able to take first place easily at 4Ghz for the 3.4 and maybe even top spot for the Pentium 4 if you can get it past 4.1Ghz to topple the guy with a 3.2 at 4.1.

Isn't a non ntsc SNES not a SNES?

Weren't they called the super famicom?

Euro PAL versions had Japanese styling and 'merican naming

 

Edit:

Also pretty sure the Super Famicom was NTSC too

Oh wow I always thought the SNES that looks like a Japanese NES was the Japanese one, but it seems they reversed the thing...

yeah.

Id assume they had the japan have the same casing as all of the pal ones because they bassically used the same snes internals, so they had to do less designing to put a pal snes in a ntsc casiung.

Europe was a MUCH smaller target for Nintendo because the Master System had basically wiped the floor with the NES prior on the console side of things.  Most gaming in the UK was done on 8-bit Micros with the added functionality of being able to code as well so consoles didn't really kick off until the 16-bit era

Reminds me of the Japanese launch edition PlayStation I have. Text is in English, menus are in English...

That extends to cameras (mostly canon)

I am getting a Japan model canon 80D and it has a English menu setting with a downloadable English owners manule.

The chargers are switching so thats not a problem.

Seem to remember a simple jumper cut would cause the region lock-out to stop working on the old NES.  I modded my Altered Beast era Mega Drive to play the different regions too.  Though there's some slowdown here or there on the 60Hz side of it due to the slower clock speed of the 68000.  The Master System converter works with the region switch i installed too
