I got a Rendition Vérité V2100 at recycle center. Is this card better than Rage/II for DOS and early 3d games?

Maybe the VIA chipset hates ssds/converters? Better getting a SD-IDE adapter. Fast enough for my C3 rig.

I recently got a 9600pro Sapphire . I need test this card but my only mobos are CUV4x and TUV4X. Are both mobos compatible ? Both features 4XAGP universal but being VIA chipsets, no sure about the compatibility with AGP8x cards.

Put a 3dfx card. My c3 800 + V Banshee run well with Quake 2. For late 98 and 99 a c3 Nehemiah is better but not very fast.
Re: VIA C3 CPU Support

Fair enough. All references to CPU support for this board I can find online only explicitly state Pentium, Celeron and Tualatin CPUs, no C3 support mentioned.. I'll probably throw a Celeron 1000A on it and overclock it to 1.33GHz. That should be a beastly CPU for Win98 and late DOS, and I can …

Bought a VIA Epia 5000 (c3 533mhz) and a used Coolermaster Elite 120 Advanced case for my itx retro setup. I planning replace the c3 800 rig for a pentium 3 1ghz and adding a V3 or GF2 GTS +V2 combo.

Posted on 2020-08-13, 14:57
If the slotket has jumpers for Cyrix, VIA will be compatible with it. Cyrix only produced super socket 7 CPUs (and earlier) then were bought by VIA. Don't know what the motherboard will think of it though. Checking on VIA site show the Pro133 - https://www.viatech.com/en/silicon/legacy/chipsets/ …

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 disabled , BPD and ICD. Using freeDOS and no soundcards.
