No, the card I listed is actually a PCI card and not a PCI-E. A number of people have put PCI graphics cards in the PCI-X slot (Found on Server boards) which runs at 66mhz instead of the standard 33mhz. I'm still unable to get this board to boot :( I might try another PSU as suggested by shamino. …

I've been looking at graphics cards this morning. It would be fantastic getting a Voodoo 5, however they are hard to come by now and don't fancy spending a fortune on one. Back in 2007 I had one of them which a friend gave me. I think used it to upgrade someones machine :blah: The Matrox cards look …

I like to use Autopatcher, which can be used to install a whole bunch of patches at once, but which also serves (via "apup") as a handy way for downloading individual patches en masse from Microsoft. Don't let the sketchy look of the forums turn you off. http://www.autopatcher.net/forum/ Thanks, …

I also have some memory about EDO RAM having lower latency while SDRAM having higher bandwith and higher clock ceiling. The numbers make some sense then if we assume Quake is bandwidth dependent. After the Doom source code was released I had a look into it and I remember that it did a lot of table …

Vetz, Great comparison for cache design strengths of pipeline burst. I never realised pipeline burst was such a hit. At the time (1998), I went from a AMD X5-133 to a dual PII-400 and skipped over the socket 7 era. You should place your VLB POD100 system in a column in this chart just for ease of …

Hmm regarding all memory timings. My testings suggest that even if you can run some memory on CL2 settings (I did test dozen pc133 512mb sticks) that doesn't mean they will be exactely fast. All of 512mb sticks that i tested on my old board were slower when runing CL2 then when running SPD adjusted …

I don't think the bios is necessarily corrupt, but when you flash the chip EVERYTHING gets reset to factory. I've had a similar motherboard that just would not find hard drives, but a bios flash corrected the issue. I still have the board even. What have you got to lose? ok lets get started. 1st : …

well, if it cant boot, how are you going to flash the bios? Because it's a HP board i thought they have some locking mechanism that prevents you from puting in all sorts of startup disks and only accepts HP stuff...So, following that thought; flashing it with original HP tools and bios bin would …
