WINDOWS 98!?

500mhz!?

man you are cruel, my slowest machine is 350mhz and i still have blessed it with windows XP! (192mb SD ram)

fine line between winXP being a curse or a saviour..

murf: repped!! freebsd

did taking the CDRW make it run normally tho?... get it back to 'normal'/ running state.. .i dun think the power would be an issue... ive done worse(read:crazier) with P1 MMx 200 mhz.. with win98.. its a paperweight now tho ..

umm as above mabbe sumfing broke.. at the same time.. or got broken by someone.. .. or ( i srsly doubt) bios change.. or cable is broken.. etc etc..

but i dunno about a power thing ,,

maybe you should check the error message of the beeping frequency with the motherboard manual?

Read? Sounds like effort. I think she'd be better off scrapping it and buying a new one.

but with the old CDRW it boots up as normal, thats why I dont think anything is broken
its a 5 year old IBM, if I had my way it would have been thrown out ages ago

 

[melsc]

yeh but as if I know where the manual is lol its over 5 years old...besides melsc never uses manuals

People throw out computers better than that these days.

I know but it is sufficient for running the wiggles games and hi-5 crap

someone tried to GIVE me a computer for my parents work for the kids last week...I laughed at them, it was one of those dinosaurs with the turbo button, in year 9 I pull one of them apart to take photos for computer studies assignment

What did that turbo button do? I've always wondered that.

 

[melsc]

[melsc]

Ooooh, STOLEN!!!

Oh *rolles-eyes* it was a stupid harvey norman computer....What does the sticker look like? I can find the windows 98 one but nothing else

I thought this was about fax machines faxing stuff to your phone.

486 and older class CPUs could run at different clock speeds. the 486DX2 ran at 16MHz, or in "turbo" mode, ran at a blistering 66MHz.

So the whole Intel SpeedStep idea is not entirely new...
