It does remove them. I have a 11 ISO prepped just that way... although as far as it concerns, 11 as it is doesn't look for Secure Boot last time I checked - just TPM. Worked for me on a Yorkfield build (Q9400), a Lynnfield build (i7 860) and the most recent machine it ran on was a rather peculiar …

Modded an OGXbox... with as much as a Raspberry Pi Pico, some Kynar wire, and 4x SMD 100 ohm resistors.

I think I managed running 98SE on nForce 2 w/ IGP, on a Award crossflashed ASUS A7N8X-VM/400 (BIOS used Chaintech 7NIF2) . No issues whatsoever and was hella snappy with a Duron 1600. If anything and those Shuttle use the Crush17/18 flavour of nForce, they're good for 98 IMO - you get a Geforce 4 …

If it's the removable DIP8 type of BIOS, usually CH341A will manage to get those flashed without issues.

Unfortunately not. It's basically a Tualatin core in 478 package, and I'm not even sure if: - the pinout is the same as a P4 - it's unknown if any of the chipsets released for P4 (including the RDRAM i850) can handle a Tualatin core. As for their source - DELL and HP (not sure if Toshiba did too) …

If it helps, these were the prices in RON I paid for most of my BX boards. - ABIT BP6 + 2x Celeron 333- 422 RON - ABIT BE6-II - 225 RON - Soyo 6BA+IV - 20 RON - LuckyTech P6BX2 + 700MHz P3 on Slotket - free - FSC D1107 systemboard - free - ASUS P2B - 200RON Was that recent? It's like US$100 for the …

You know it's bad when even the most mundane A7N8X-X (so plain spartan A7N8X) sells for "big" $$$ locally. Trust me, I've managed to earn nearly $110 by selling kits made out of literally common parts more or less. One of them was an A7N8X-X, Athlon XP 2500+, FX5600 and a 160GB HDD, and XP SP3, …

For that kind of money, there is an Abit BX133-RAID listed on the "biggest auction site". The seller is from Poland, so maybe you could work out some sort of a deal. It has a broken plastic tab on the socket that could possibly be worked around with a cooler that has all three hooks on that side, …

Two eBay-purchases of late; Abit BX6r2 and a computer with Asus P2B. The latter has not shipped yet - so still waiting for both. The BX6r2 had broken PS2-ports. I did know this at purchase. Had a real hard time getting it to post, but it's was all about a dirty slotket, dirty and loose Slot-1 ( …

CUSL2 can be picky about GPUs as it is. I had to sell a Voodoo 3 3000 and it took me almost a hour because the CUSL2 would lock up with it during 3dMark. Thankfully the client was very patient and I had managed to get the V3 running and passing 3dMark on a 440BX mobo. (not sure which one as I have …

Some people say RDRAM was worth it. Yeah, if you have a whole lotta cooling. Otherwise I'd keep far away from it. And in the context of flexible retro computing: Cedar Mill, if you don't need to particularily run anything past Vista/7 (because in all honesty I don't see any reason to run 10 or 11 on …
