It does and the .PDF lists it. Nvidia seems to support up to the GTX 960 and GTX Titan with XP drivers.

I'm looking to pair a Pentium M 1.7GHz (or faster), i915GV & ICH6 (ASUS PGTV-DM) with a PCI graphics board. It only supports onboard graphics and the one PCI slot. I'm gonna run XP on this. And the goal is to have a silent single low-rpm fan. So far I'm looking at a Nvidia 6200/512MB board. Not sure …
Re: Best VGA to HDMI converter? Suggestions please?
Posted on 2022-10-06, 18:46
Well I had another crack at it and got the faulty monitor working.. In my short travels of researching VGA-to-HDMI I found nothing that would've been satisfactory. Either the range of resolutions supported was specific and narrow, or the lag was too long. And then there were the complexities of …
Re: Best VGA to HDMI converter? Suggestions please?

After researching into a lot of the cheaper cables I find that they work with specific resolutions and refresh rates, mostly 60Hz only. So that doesn't seem to cover anything near the variety of modes/signals VGA and SVGA output.
Can LCD backlight color temp affect view angles?
Posted on 2022-09-26, 10:55
Pretty much as it says on the box.. Can LCD backlight color temp affect view angles? Or can it affect viewing angle balance, such as good left-side visibility, but poor right-side visibility? Or would that be a panel matrix problem? Could it also cause un-even blacks?
Best VGA to HDMI converter? Suggestions please?

Thinking of giving up on repairing a few LCD 4:3 monitors and modernizing all my display hardware. This means new monitors with HDMI only inputs. But I still have some VGA only graphics cards and systems still being used. So I need some recommendations for a VGA-to-HDMI converter. Points of interest …

Is it a possibility that inferior backlight CCFL tubes were used in "refurbing" the panel? A clue was the type of connector that connects the BL to the Inverter board. The style is slightly different. And I also notice the image doesn't have a certain ineffable quality to the warmth. As if the color …

Got a Samsung 204B, 1600 x 1200, 2005-era, LTM201UX-L01 . And had a panel failure where half it was all scrambled. Replaced the panel and got one with no dead pixels. But this replacement panel seems to have worse contrast and slightly (gently) un-even blacks that are slightly washed out. Not the …

New case for Shuttle XPC motherboard? Any exist?
Posted on 2022-03-18, 17:56
Anyone ever hear of a 3rd party case for Shuttle XPC motherboards? I decided to hate custom formfactors all over again and want to put a Shuttle board in a larger case. Ideas?

What are the better 5.25" 1.2MB floppy drives around?

A topic for general discussion. What are the better 5.25" 1.2MB floppy drives around? Surely some these vintages drives have hidden strengths and weaknesses when it comes to durability and construction and longevity. Thinking of failure points for certain models. Or if any models stand out in the …

Can't ever imagine FPGA tech ever ever going away. Every modern jet fighter has them, and will continue to have them for decades to come.

It was the only one good Celeron I bet the Tualerons (Tualatin-256) would have something to say about this! Indeed. Mine just powered itself on to say that's right! I used to think BitBoys Oy had a chip fab in their basement and that Glaze3D was right around the corner. Turns out they were just an …

Can you report back on these? I'm sorely in need of some standoffs but not in the mood for using plastic screws cut to size or a hack job just yet. Just want a snap-n-go solution.

Yes. Thanks. That's what I was asking more or less.
Is it possible to change the DAC on a CT1740 ?
Posted on 2021-07-22, 05:58
Possible to swap out the 1701 DAC for the newer 1703? Anyone know anything about this? Has it been done? Or tried, crashed and burned?
