I will see about unwrapping everything and getting some good pics of the socket and the chip. I'm not sure I want to break-off the heatsink though.

On my old Gateway 2000 486 DX-2/50 I have a Gemini baby-AT motherboard from Micronics. It is an ISA only board. It came equipped with the DX-2 cpu and an empty socket for the Weitek co-proc. What I am trying to determine is what CPU I have! Yeh, that's right! The 486 cpu here seems to be about 1/3rd …

Re: How I fixed some stubborn seemingly random dosbox slowdowns
Posted on 2011-03-15, 01:39
That is what I was thinking at first. I played with all graphics options both within windows and within dosbox. Granted, the 855gm intel integrated chipset is not high performance. But it is good enough. Most importantly, it's a stable chipset that has been thoroughly debugged over time and works …

My issue was my 1.7 pentium m would like to throttle and float around 900-1200mhz, and sometimes dropping to 598mhz. DosBox seems to be the only app that needs more "power" but doesn't get it. Once I set the cpu to 17x multiplier manually, DosBox runs like a charm! It also seems that regardless of …

I just tried that but it was the same deal for me. My lappy was trained too well in power management school and by golly if the application doesn't demnand full speed it ain't gett'n it! So I still need to turn the cpu on full burn. Actually, running it at full speed doesn't heat it up much with …

Yes, I can understand that. It was a little bit of a surprise to me. And this is the first time I'm really messing around with DosBox in detail.

Little change with 60,000 .. more fps, about 15 -18. I went into spacesim's config/ setup utility and found a list of graphics cards, by selecting the s3 trio option, I got like 80 or 90 fps. So apparently this is an important part! I also still have the same flicker. And using an SVN unofficial …

I tried those settings. I'll keep the DYNAMIC option, but changing from cycles=MAX to cycles=30000 gave me a framerate drop from 12fps to about 4-5fps. So back to MAX on MS SpaceSim. SpaceSim seems to have some screen flicker, looks like a vsync issue. But it has the same flicker when I ran it on my …

I was setting up some old games such as Duke Nukem 3d and Ms SpaceSimulator, and Doom 1.666 and 1.9, and win3.1 for some other stuff. You know stuff like that. And I never quite got a good solid high framerate. My hardware is a Centrino with Pentium-M 1.7GHz and Intel 855gm integrated graphics …

I have for sale, 2 Supra 56.6 ISA internal modems, New-In-Box, old stock, for those of you who need one for rounding out a classic system. I believe these are flashable back and forth between the v.90 56k-flex and X2 standards. They are defaulted to V.90 protocol though, as the other two are …

glad to hear that. I put it up on ebay for everyone to bid. And there will be more hardware (older stuff as usual, k2, p2, boxes of cables, tons of soundblaster cards, some modems, both nib and old, various odds and ends) coming soon over the next month. I suppose the best way to see this is to …

Well good enough then. I shall post it for auction when I get a sharp set of pics. The Vodoo 6000 is a rev 2600-A2 #43 with tag. I don't remember the specs of the edge 3d cards though. As far as introductions, I'm just a retrogamer, nothing else exciting or worth knowing about me..! Short and …
