Unreal needs a .dll file added and then you need to edit a .ini file to get Metal working. Unreal Tournament should have an option for metal out of the box. Phil did a video on this card and it shows hot to get metal running in Unreal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqYyL3vsjmU&t=780s Link to .dll …

i run Creative 3D Blaster Savage with 8Megs and it even runs Omicron - The Nomad Soul very well. Its just a bit of pain to find the right driver. Mine does not work with the latest Savage 4 Driver :O so i needed to get a older one. And its very stable, no freezes at all. its better then TNT2 M64. …

Thanks a lot for the info. It seems a good card for a Pentium rig though a bit limited. I´ll do some test anyway.

After some tinkering I have found a S3 Savage Pro+ 32MB PCI which has surprised me because at first sight I thought it was AGP. Does it worth any value, meaning value as performance, video signal quality or 3D capability under DOS/Windows? There is not much info about this very model over the …

The question is what you want to do exactly. The P5A is generally considered the single best performing So7 board, and one of the few that can overclock past 100MHz FSB effectively. However its Aladdin V chipset is something of a finnicky thoroughbred - as you already mention it's far less flexible …

I'd say check your caps and your PSU. At first sight they are quite well, neither deformed nor dented. I´ve seen other mobos with their caps in worse condition but it´s not the case, fortunately. Due to the way the contacts of AGP are arranged, this is quite normal. The slot bracket may not be …

I´ve got two different Pentium II/III motherboards and in both the AGP port works a bit tricky so to speak. Every time I plug-in a graphics card I need to reallocate it several times until it´s properly detected. I´ve previosly cleaned each component with contact cleaner but the problem persist. Is …

Maybe a stupid question, but I need to clear my thoughts up: would a PIII with 133FSB works fine with 100FSB? For example, my PIII 600B runs at 133/4.5x multiplier. Would it run at 100Mhz/6x? Or a PIII 800 FC-PGA 133/6x at 100/8x. The multiplier is fixed, so the 600B would run at 450MHz and the 800 …

I have the same motherboard, an ASUS P2B Revision 1.02 with BIOS 1011. I have an Intel Pentium III 600MHz Katmai (not the B) running at 100MHz FSB and it works perfectly fine. I also have 2 sticks of 128MB PC-100 EEC SDRAM (single-sided, 9 chips) giving me 256MB of RAM. I checked and it seems that …

Stay calm, please. Of course I won´t throw such a beaty board :lol: . Just asked about the 600B because it doesn´t work on it and I wasn´t sure about the reason. ... Is the OP's chip a Coppermine, though? "600 B " points to the Katmai 600/133 processor. "600 E " is what the Coppermine equivalent is …
