Look here : https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Pentiu … 31PC037G0K.html I don't know why but they state that the upgrade chance to the 1.9ghz version is 35%. That's pretty low and I guess it means that a lot of boards need a bios update to get it to work (newer stepping etc?)

It seems that Asus P5A offers a little more. K6-2+ 500 @ 633 and K6-3+ mobile 400 both took 633 @ asus P5A. v1.06 and Gigabyte GA-5AX . 115 FSB is too heavy for a cache module. It needs replacement to a more frequency-capable one in Asus. Gigabyte is ok. The screen is made on a Gigabyte GA-5AX mobo …

Don think those solid caps will leak but the card does need some cleaning in that area. Recapping however is never a bad idea. Also start simple and clean the pci edge connector.

Screamer games on v5 is hard to get working so no wonder you have problems. Dosglide games can be difficult without a v1 or v2. In windows try direct3d first on both chips (3dmark99 or 3dmark 2000 for example) also check if both chips work, on the p4 the single chip should be much slower. On the k6 …

Can not compare fps to a x1900 card.. The x1900 is a beast in comparison in some games.

Aopen ax59pro: NO GO Asus P5A and P5A-B (every revision of these boards as well) : NO GO Asus SP97-V: NO GO Asus SP98agp-X: NO GO 2 different mvp3 DFI boards: NO …

Sorry for the bump, I received another tillamook from a chinese ebay seller, in the meanwhile I redid the soldering. I'm using the Aopen AX59 PRO once again, both cpus do not boot with default voltage, the system boots but hangs at the post screen with v2.2, this happens with both cpu, the system …

I used a minimal setup, just getting scores without any sound etc. installed. The really high scores can only be gotten by using a geforce2/3 with earliest drivers as possible. Every other card will be around half the points I guess. Compared to the ATi, I think even a G400 will score better? PLEASE …

Pa-2013 does not have the right regulator for the v3 3000, v3 2000 is the absolute max (read it somewhere years ago). Geforce 2mx would be very safe and i would use that with v2 (sli)

It was used in medion computers, they always had cards with slightly different specs (clockspeeds, type of ram etc.) and names. Like with the Radeon 9800xl etc.

Try the 2 lowest pci slots for sli or the lowest for single card. Worked wonders in my k6-3 when getting black screens in dos etc.

Look at a high res picture online. That way you can determine which caps are the same size/color. Desolder those and measure. Good luck!

I would have liked to give it a go but I just don`t have the time or patience right now! My only running ss7 system is based on my favorite P5A, the rest is stored …

Your problem is on the backside: c151 , c51,c53, c61 are knocked off.... as far as I know the pads should all be populated (not at home and no voodoo at hand now...) It`s fairly common that these get damaged/knocked off by other cards when kept in a bin/box. Had a couple from a recycler that had the …
