Yes, it's hard to believe it was ever done that way...before the mouse was invented. When I set the clock that time in the BIOS I had to do that. Went exploring in there recently. Just to "look". There were a couple places the mouse did work. Then it went back to "enter and arrows", on other screens https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I touched the Video Card. Ommmvveee! Here's an eyeroller for ya. I don't have one on this computer (we established that it's built in). I see it has a port. What's that for? The monitor?

Port? You talkin' bout that thingy on the back?--monitor connector. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Oh, Hey...another redundant tip...write down your ISP access numbers, DUN settings, export your Address Book and favorites. I know you're going to have your current system up, but it's still a good idea to do this. Backup, backup, backup.

I put the Dial up connection on a floppy. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Ans my favorites. Still need to do the address book. I practiced "exporting" and I think they ended up in My Documents. So I'll open it and see if it's really them and put those on a floppy too.

probably as a txt file. But not to worry...IE will recognize the file when importing and put everything nice and neat back into your Address Book.
Almost done with that BIOS tip sheet. Will e-mail--little too big to post here. Designed it to walk you through the steps.

I need three things now to be delivered. The CPU, the RAM and the Golden Orb.
Unless all three things arrive today I'll have to wait until next week. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Keeping my fingers crossed. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I'll be looking for the BIOS tweak, bistro.

Nope... No UPS man. But Federal Express did bring the CPU. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I find it hard to believe that this little flat square green thingy cost 204.00!
It came with a heatsink/fan. Will this go in the box of "leftover" parts ?
That box already has the cable that came with the Hard Drive in it, a couple of glides for the case and the Video Card.
OH! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/How'd that get in there?!

Good! Now take a close look at it. See that teeny square right in the middle?--that's the "sweet spot" https://discussions.virtualdr.com/That's where that BB-size bit of thermal paste is going to go on. Take care and leave it in the package for now. Just store away that heat sink/fan for now--you've just started what may someday become a vast collection of computer parts https://discussions.virtualdr.com/.
Did you say you ordered the Golden Orb or the GlobalWin? If the GlobalWin, then go ahead and follow the directions from the tip sheet for placing it on the CPU. If the Golden Orb, then that's different. When you get it, check it out carefully and make sure it's the model for Socket 370--should just be the orb with a clip and a wire. If it's got "wings" on it, that's the slot version (wrong); if it's got a different number other than for "Socket 370", it's wrong. Don't try to use it. Now, if it's the "370", you are in business (very good choice!). However, the clip on it is different than the standard clip--it's a "twist-and-lock". Little clip goes on to the ZIF socket "hinge", then it's lowered down carefully onto the chip, then you slowly twist and the other side locks onto the other ZIF "hinge". Highly recommend you practice (carefully) on the empty ZIF socket first to see how it works. Also highly recommend that you open and close the lock on it by hand (not on the ZIF) several times. When they're new, the twist mechanism can be a little tight--that'll loosen it up a bit before attempting to place it onto the CPU. DON"T oil it (like I heard another unfortunate poster do last year...)
The thermal paste: Suggest kneading the tube for around 5 minutes to get rid of any separation. In addition, take a paper towel folded in half and squeeze out about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of paste onto the towel. If you see liquid come out, keep squeezing until just paste comes out. Throw that away and recap the tube. Before putting the thermal paste onto the chip, knead the tube a little once more. Better yet, do the paper towel thing again, but just enough to insure the paste is well mixed (no liquid).
We're almost there......

Good afternoon folks
Bistro
that link on cas 2/3 vs O/C ing was a very good read.
As for the router question, I have a Question for someone come Monday morning!
And thank you. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Good evening Train.
I am sailing, for sure. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Still haven't finished reading the Motherboard Manual yet. I'm workin' on it.
Oh, bistro, I went to the Mitsumi site and found the correct drivers for this model CDROM. They are on a floppy, in case I need them. They also have a diagnostic thing I could get, too, for if I ever have a problem with it.
-
You got the right one. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Good choice for a cooler. Read a review a while back where the GlobalWin and the Golden Orb were neck and neck--both excellent.
Good you got those drivers, but I'll bet Windows will I.D. it OK.
When I said "practice first", I mean it. That little tiny postage stamp chip is very easily fractured--you might not even detect it, but when it comes time to boot up---oops.
Fractured a Celeron FC-PGA last year because I got in too much of a hurry. (Bought it for
55 bucks--not too much of a loss, but it ticked me off...at myself.) https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Be ye cautious and all will be well....
Gotta take a long break here and do some "chores"...may be back later.
(Gonna run next door, ring the Clinton's doorbell, then run away laughing hysterically...)

I'm studying now. Looking at these tiny wires. I have I.D.'d where they go in the PN1 and PN2. I'm practicin'. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I have three spots where nothing is:
On PN1--- The keylock ->#4 and 5....and the Hardware Suspend Switch(SMI Switch)->#10 and 11
On PN2---the Suspend LED Header->#9 and 10.
Are these extra or am I missing something?
And it says to watch orientation. Does that mean all the words on each connector go in a certain direction ? I figured they should face the power supply because it's close to the bottom edge of the case and I'd not be able to read the words later. Was that right?
Also, on one of the bundle on the power supply there is a tiny ended one too, off a Y. Don't know what that is either. The rest I can figure out....I think.
I made a practice run on the cables too. Got that figured out.
One puzzling thing. The 34-pin connector for the floppy looks defective on one end. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
The cable is cut at about the eighth wire, and that section of looks like six wires is flipped over then the next twenty wires are straight again. I didn't use that end of the cable, (cause it looks retarded) I used the smaller 34 pin connector of the two connections in the middle. One was 34pin, the other looked like the 40pin that went on the Motherboard's IDE connection.
You didn't leave a bag of doggie doo burning on the White House porch, did you ? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

So I typed all that for nuthin. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/Well that's a relief. Thanks Train.
I should deleted that part before bistro sees it. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
