How do you determine which size BIOS you have? Interesting. AMI flash and uniflash detected different flash chips. You can peel off the sticker on your BIOS and check the actual model number. The safer way is to buy another flash chip and write the new BIOS into it. But to begin with, it's …

Interesting... Never seen a Socket 4 4DPS board before... Would be nice if the OP can take a picture of the actual board...

I picked up a Creative Voodoo Banshee for $32 (US) shipped on Ebay a few weeks ago. I'd call that pretty cheap. Just set search alerts for when they get listed, and use the Ebay bucks promos & coupon codes. They have routinely been offering 15-20% off promo codes. Is it PCI? While searching for " …

It's halfway between a Riva 128 and Riva TNT, it's basically on par with a Voodoo Banshee so no, it's not that bad. I would say it's more interesting than the TNT even, but that's just me. It's quite slow for being a 1998 card. Banshee has 128bit memory bus so it would be faster in high res or …

Fate has this way of making you eat your words... Today I picked up a huge load of old hardware including about 15 VGA cards. The first one I looked at: TNT2-M64. PCI :P So they do exist over here in EU too. But from my sampling (and I sample *lots* of big batches of cards, in which 1998-2002 cards …

3.5x works, but if you try to use 4x, many socket 7 motherboards won't work with this unless the BIOS is modded to specifically support 4x. Most super socket 7 boards should be fine though. I found your last year's post about getting 4x multiplier on MII. The databooks I could find only list inputs …

Common as muck AGP cards, but PCI? They exist, but if they are common somewhere, that's not anywhere where I've ever been digging in the thrift shops ;) Dell (and probably other big PC makers as well) used to ship their i810-based systems with TNT2 M64 PCI cards, so they do exist in large quantity.

The SP97-XV board uses Winbond W83877F I/O chip and ICS9169CJ-272 clock generator. If both match yours you have a better chance. Here is the big picture . It seems that the SPAX BIOS is twice the size of the SP97-XV BIOS. You might have to stitch two copies of the latter one to make a 256KB image. …

Were you using a PCI video card? MediaGX CPUs have built-in video core and I couldn't find a way to disable it on your board. FYI here is the manual and here is the diagram . The VGA header on this board is shared with the MIDI header. Couldn't find its pinout. Interestingly your board has …
