If you have something for this board that needs to be tested out let me know! Hi carlostex, Nice you can test another patched BIOS for …

It will probably be worse than agp versions of the same or similar cards as the agp features won’t work. It will still be at least 66 mhz pci thru put so at least there is that. It’s possible paired with super fast gpu you may be able to exceed available agp cards despite the interface being slower …

A version of this that slots into a 8 bit isa and uses a serial ribbon cable to the morherboard would be awesome! :p I still use mine, works great! But having to power the 5v on it is kinda annoying, could get that from a isa slot. 😀 Very good device, good job Lime!

I have one or two slot one celerons if I recall, Apparently there is a way to multi processor mod them. A dual celeron setup would be kinda fun.
