Thanks for the advice guys! The more I looked at the economics of it, the less sense it made. Good exercise though, figuring out how high it could go.

I want to use this computer for older games and I have a deal on a Compaq Deskpro EN 350 w/128 (max 256) ram, 200w power supply and a 3 year old 17" Compaq V700 monitor for $125. It looks like I can use a Powerleap slot 1 adaptor and add a 1.4 gig tualatin celeron for $160 including shipping...

Thank you one and all. I now at least know what I don't know and where to go to find out if the change is worth it. I primarly want to run older games on a win 98 se system so I can convert to XP on my p4 system. If I read you guys correctly, then I can improve the CPU performance 20 to 60...

The only specs I have been able to find are the chipset, 440 bx and that the motherboard is proprietary (from the compaq site). Any ideas where I can go to find out more?

I am upgrading an older system to play some of my older games on. It is a Compaq EN series pII 350 with a slot 1, small form factor, compaq motherboard based on the 440bx chipset with 100 fsb. What is the fastest CPU I can upgrade to on this board. From looking around, there seems to be a top...

I am using 28.32 for the 4600 and 1006 for my bios. Anyone else out there with the P4S533. The faq on the 1007 bios says its for the Celeron update. So that shouldn't do anything for this problem.

I have a Chaintech GT61 Ti4600 on a P4S533. Rivatuner says I am running at 2x AGP. How do I get to 4x? System BIOS says I am set to 4x. Please head me in the right direction oh wise and knowledgeable ones.

DavLucMac, I RMA'd mine, have been looking but haven't found any posts on other boards or this one that says they found a fix. There are a lot of posts with this problem. There are quite a few who finally got good boards tho. Good Luck. I went with the Chaintech, and have had low performance...

Mine didn't have that problem. It gave inaccurate reads on the CPU temp tho, so updated to the latest version. Now works fine. link This was the update link.

Peroxide, isn't there a setting in the BIOS to enable standby? I have the board but am running 98SE and it came up without having to check.

Help. After reading the many posts on the Gainward 750xp and having the same problems (matrix like screen), I RMA'd it back to Newegg and went for the Chaintech. My problem is I can only get an 8300 on 3dmark and from all I read it should at least be in the mid 9's. The only symptom of the...

:)Add my positive here, new probe works, thanks for the link Thugsrook.

Pastorjay, Same problem here on the P4S533. Please post if that works. Thanks

bknichol, Have had my P4S533 up and running for 3 days now. First day with all three power plugs in, no prob, but after seeing all the posts, took the 4 pin HD connector out to be safe. All seems to be working fine (P4 2.0, Maxtor 740x 80 G, Voodoo 3, Corsair 512 2700 Win98SE). The only...

There is a thread on, I think Hardocp which says that it is an AGP seating problem. The Gainward is loose. I know mine is very loose in the slot. Am RMA it and haven't decided whether to replace or get a different one. Some threads say the problem is fixed on the newer Gainward Boards. BTW...
