Do you know any drivers to support 6-8 cores? Looking in SLIAA.h + SLIAA.c they have as below so I suspect that four is the limit unless the driver is updated. #define MAX_CHIPS (4) typedef struct chipinfo { DWORD dwChips; // dwChips: Number of chips in multi-chip configuration (1-4) // Some sanity …

take a look: Thank you. I am still awaiting new real 6000 SIV save files so I can't check how the registers compare. Looking at the PCI config space then both my 5500 and the real 6000 have ROM BAR present, but it's zero on your card + they have cfgSliLfbCtrl as 00000000 and with your card it's …

ok. will do, but i need a fresh xp install. the old one was suspicious. sensor chip requires some kind of control, via i2c bus, i presume. so, bios and drivers modifications req'd. i'm able to place it, for sure, but how to read from it? there's 2 pairs of i2c, one goes to ddc, other one dedicated …

thank you for the implementation of the new feature. I have now released SIV 5.57 Beta-01 so use this rather than the test SIVs. Next time you have you card in the Core i5 system please will you generate SIV32X save files for me so I can compare what your 6000 reports with a real 6000? To do this …

sorry but you're wrong. no one vsa100 can be detected as a pci device except the master one. i'll show correct pci listing a bit later I feel you should get your facts correct before making posts such as this. also, have to ask. is it possible to display memory mapped registers of 3dfx cards like …

The BARs don't report the size mapped and to get the size I would need to poke around as the Windows PnP manager does. Given the device is active I feel I can't sensibly do this so do not plan to change this. pciscope somehow recognizes that Yes, I figured that out for myself! For all I know it …

Yes, here it it and it just reported 2 x VSA 100 on my WMe system. SIV simply reports the alignment not the size so is correct. Given it says Alignment why how can you say the size is incorrect? i mean incomplete. when i know what config i set by straps, than saw strange numbers i was a bit …

No, I suspect it's your code that is wrong. My code can detect both VSA-100 of my Voodoo5 5500, but only one has I/O Access + Memory Access enabled. I have attached a test SIV that should report all 4 x VSA-100 on a real Voodoo5 6000. i don't get you. what 'my code' you're talking about? here is …

Thank you for the pointer, I will see what I can manage with my Voodoo 5 later today. All four VSA-100 show up on the PCI bus, but as it's not flagged as multi-function in the header HalGetBusData() does not report them, but you can read them directly. SIV does this and is reports @ 4 x VSA 100 + [ …

Hello, guys, appreciate your interest to my recent project. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

Doesn't that limitation go away if you use the K6-2+/3+/3? As those CPUs have an on-chip 128KB/256KB L2 cache the motherboard cache becomes a L3 cache which I suspect will have little if any effect on performance. To check disable the motherboard cache in the BIOS and re-run your benchmark then …

No, it will just decrease performance. :) Games that benefit from 256 MB or more are not meant to be played on SS7. I for one stick to 128 MB on SS7 (which is usually the max cacheable amount on most boards). Doesn't that limitation go away if you use the K6-2+/3+/3? As those CPUs have an on-chip …
