Hi! Glad to see more people playing with Quadros 1) If you followed the steps of the TLDR, then you just changed the card's identity. You still need to mod the bios with new frequencies, 2) 500/1000 are 5800u frequencies—is your card properly cooled? With my Quadro FX 1000 I actually did a small …

The review I saw had a 5800U running over AGP 8x. Is it your motherboard or the 1000 that wants to run at 4x? Hi, thanks. I have it running at AGP 8x and SBA is enabled. I must stress that I'm trying to mod this into a 5800, non -ultra. According to an old online article, K4N26323AE-GC1K is 1100MHz …

I have a question: I did this mod on a Quadro FX1000 AGP. I ran some 3D apps but the clock stayed at 300/300 (verified by logging with GPU-Z). I manually went to the nVidia control panel (driver 45.23), and set the clock for 2D to 500/1000 and I immediately got artifacting and a hard lock. 1) Why …

This adapter will also work: Filename tualatin.jpg File size 99.29 KiB Views 64 views You place it over the pins and then weld a couple of solder joints. The adapter itself is very affordable, the problem is that shipping from Korea is absurdly expensive right now with the current pandemic.

BF1942 compatibility with newer operating systems is well-established and there is (or was, until recently) an active online multiplayer base for its Desert Combat expansions. You should be able to find the info and downloads you need.

Wrong add the fx5700 into the 45 inf full support It was written for FX 5900, which is identical to FX 5700. Sorry to say, but evoportals was correct, and you were both wrong. I tested the 5700LE in Windows 98 with 45.23 after performing a modification on the NVAGP.INF. The card seems to work …

The truth is any old board witha a standard Award 4.51 BIOS will do. The BIOS might require modification, but the modified Korean Tualatin should work.

The small 5mm or less and 220uF or less wet-lytics caps do fail too but they have different jobs and see a lot less stress so they don't fail very often. (Notable exceptions are boards using OST (brand) and early Intel made P4 boards that used 85°C Nichicons for the small caps. Both of those fail …

You can certainly use 16GB on boards that document only an 8GB limit... P35 will also work. Asus boards are very relaxed with regard to memory compatibility when it comes to using ECC memory. So if you want to find 4GB DDR2 modules, look for the ECC variety, as they should be much more common. I …
