How about my remaining questions: So if I understood correctly, your Pentium 100 rig wouldn't turn on (no power, as in completely dead and no movement)? Then you removed the S3 Trio 64V+ and then it would turn on? (but obviously you would have no graphics display, not having a graphics card …

So who owning i840 based computer and Pro266 Dual Socket (MSI Pro266TD-Master) motherboard? Oh yeah, what about 440GX? Is it essentially same as 440BX?

I wonder if different memory type give different performance. So which chipset has better memory bandwidth? Intel 440BX (SDRAM) or Intel 840 (Dual-channel RDRAM) or VIA Pro266T (DDR)?

Consider replacing the fans. I replaced the stock cooler on mine with a socket 370 cooler and a silent fan, but mine is overclocked. Since yours is underclocked, you might not even need a fan at all. If you're careful, you can replace the fan in the PSU too. I also installed a CF card with an IDE …

First of all, Socket 7 came along with the Pentium MMX. I don't think this is right. The MMX chips came out in October 1996. Socket7 would have come out with the P133 (and 430FX chipset) on or before June 1995. While split rail voltage was part of the specification, it was rarely implemented in …

Afaik it should work. i820 boards with rimms are not that bad and were made with 133Mhz cpu's in mind. It's difficult finding a good slot 1 mobo that does 133 native. The boards you should avoid are the i820+MTH+Sdram combination, they are not stable. Fortunately, my HP Vectra VL600 doesn't has MTH …
