Sis 645/dx unofficially supports ddr400. With the same board i managed 192/384 i was overclocking a pentium-b/533 2.8 and 3.06. The secret sauce to a sis645/dx is to run a high multi p4-a/400fsb and try to stay before 133fsb/533. Because for some reason when you use 533 fsb that memory divider it …

I assembled and tested another 6 and all are working well. I put these up on everyone’s favorite auction site if people feel more comfortable purchasing that way. No link but it’s an easy enough search I think. 4 sold and shipped, 1 reserved, 6 up there and 9 left. Me and my friend got one each. …

Any more information on this board in general. Having a hard time finding any info on rev 2.3 . Wondering if they fixed rev 2.2 issues with 100fsb. Has a 5 ns onboard cache so should be enough.

Best way to go about this hot swap, programmer or socketed nic.? I find this board to be interesting to keep just hard to find …

so would the pcx2 fair better in a 64bit pci slot maybe. can it even take adavantage ? i can see the slight boost of a maybe a bx system at 133fsb because of the overclocked pci bus but your still stuck with a pentium 3 . then again doubt you can expect much more moving to a pentium 4. No, 64bit …

in bx system pci bus doesn't overclock it has proper divider, its the AGP bus that overclocks to 89mhz in a true 66mhz pci slot that was attached to like a PCI-X 133 slot the card wouldn't run becasue its not 3.3v keyed. Its keyed for 5vonly. It wouldn't even be insert able in such a slot. the card …

Results are in for the TUSL2-C [Windows 2K and on Nvidia drivers 45.23] I don't know why CPU-Z reports that the AGP is at 2X, while 4X is selected in BIOS and the Quadro is clearly an AGP 4X generation. You need to relash it with the evil bios. Its a common issue with the vanilla asus bios. http:// …

Yes your right it indeed does have sb-link. Almost feels kinda useless when it has isa slots already. Either way its a interesting …

Sure your better off with a 845 based system, but that's boring as studying then throwing parties every 2nd day. A RD based system is in my wishlist as it's more interesting vs the endless SD RAM systems (not to mention cost is in my favour now) Intel 845 systems get owned by sis chipsets. Highend …
