Past week , saved a VIA c3 700Mhz (100fsb and 1,6v -Saumel 2?). At BIOS Menu (ASUS CUV4x), seems the multiplier is locked. Any chances to change the multiplier at SetMul? 100% chance. Why the C3 is so nice. Yes. Its working! Lowest setting for me 3x 66.6 (200mhz) At speedtest i got 13,1 with L1/2 …

Mine is a Cuv4x with 1 ISA slot. Some version dont have. The AGP implementation is not good but using a pci or a AGP voodoo card, no problems. Using with a VIA c3 800mhz as alternative for a AMD K6-2/3+.

A Windows 9x system (with ISA slots) that can also run DOS games is quite useful, IMHO . With a bit of care, you can cover 1990ish to 2001ish on a single machine with a Tualatin P3/Celeron using only SETMUL (when required) . If you can play with FSB speed too, you can probably cover the late 80s …

Hello everyone, I'm a bit disapointed, to tell the true... My Quadro FX1000 can't handle nGlide at 1600x1200 on Unreal Gold (It uses Unreal Tournament engine)... On Direct3D it works perfectly. I'm using the first driver available... Maybe I'll update the driver to see if can improve something... …

Hello everyone, I got some updates.... Almost 14k points on 3DMark 2001, default settings. Unreal Gold running solid, but I'm to tired to try dgvoodoo, so I tested on Direct3D, 1024x768. Graphics and sound perfect. Tomorrow (maybe) I'll try Shattered Steel, if I can extract it on WinXP. Thanks GOG …

Because the FM onboard dont working at lower clocks, i see theses EPIA more for late DOS and early windows 95 games. Good enough for a very compact rig .
