No, ran memtest86 from DOS (without Emm386).
Old memtest86 needed for K6-2 CPU
Posted on 2020-02-26, 18:36
Hello, I had some stability issues (that I since managed to diagnose using the AIDA64 stress testing) on my Azza PT-5VMD + K6-2 combo, caused by incompatible RAM modules. However, initially I wanted to use good old memtest86.. so I tried various older versions of memtest86 / memtest86+ and they all …

Well, here's a good one... I thought I'd try something different, so I benchmarked an ATI Radeon 9600XT using the Catalyst 6.2 drivers on Windows 98 (never actually owned an ATI card before, except for ATI Rage II 4 MB - probably one of the worst video cards to ever hit the market...). And, just for …

No, I have the original CD, as I mentioned above... that's why it bugs me. 😀

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's more of a general chipset limitation than a problem with my specific board per se. Anyway, it doesn't bother me as much. Unfortunately I only have 512 / 256 'later' design modules. The older ones that I have are all PC100. Thanks a lot for the help 😀

Wow, thanks for the very quick & helpful reply! Flashed the latest BIOS, all good now with the CPU: https://i.ibb.co/XJJv6kV/20200218-173338.jpg However, the problem with the RAM remains. Seems that the board doesn't like memory modules with capacity bigger than 128 MB. Anyway, I'll live with it :) …
Bios update for Chaintech 6BJM0-D100A

Hi guys, I have (among others) a 440BX socket 370 motherboard: Chaintech 6BJM0-D100A Until today, I was running a Celeron 500 MHz on it, but since the motherboard seemed to officially support an FSB133 MHz overclock, I thought I'd give it a try and purchased a Pentium 3 1000 MHz FSB133 and also …

Thank you very much, I totally forgot about it! It's working perfectly now with any emulation (SB / MT-32 / Adlib). Just in case anyone has the same problem, for the sound blaster configuration I also had to download this file in the game folder: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=392

Yes, I know I can install the modern patch, use nGlide, etc. I actually have it working perfectly like this on my modern PC (Windows 10 @ 2560 x 1440 resolution). However, I know for a fact that I was able to make the game run on GeForce 3 back in 2001. And, of course, at that time there was no …
Prehistorik game with Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1 SB0100
Posted on 2020-02-17, 11:38
Hi guys, Did anyone manage to force the first Prehistorik game to use the SB Live 5.1 SB0100 card with SB16 emulation? I'm trying to run it in Windows 98 SE MS-DOS (restart in MS-DOS mode) with the live dos drivers (liveinit) and the game freezes at the splash screen (I have the same behavior if I …

Not sure why you think the PSUs are to blame... but anyway, I have multiple computers with multiple PSUs, all very decent (two of the PCs - the Tualatin 1.4 and Core 2 Duo - actually have absolutely new, one week old Seasonic S12II-520 PSUs). Also... as I mentioned before, this issue only happens …

Well... I officially give up. I tested NFS3 with/without patches (not the modern patch, though - I use this one only on Windows 10), tried it on multiple motherboards (with different chipsets like 440BX, 815, 865), using various graphics cards (GeForce 4 Ti, GeForce FX 5900XT, Voodoo 3 2000 PCI, …

For me, dgVoodoo2 was the best solution. The score went up from 30 000 to 88000 on Windows 10. (no patches needed)

Thanks, guys! I will try all the solutions provided above and get back once I have something working. In the meantime, I managed to get my hands on a Voodoo 3 PCI card, which I will test as soon as I have the time. Maybe I'll have more luck with it.

Too bad... Need for Speed High Stakes works fine for me, on both systems, so in my case it's a NFS3 specific issue.

Re: MB recommendation for P3 Tualatin 1.4GHz with on-chip socket adapter

I see a lot of Asus TUV4X and TUSL2 boards on eBay for fairly reasonable prices, even from inside US (shocked though to see national shipping in US more expensive than shipping from EU countries to US... got to love USPS...). Both would be a fine match. TUSL2 is faster and probably more trouble- …

Oh no it's not, it's soldered onto the package. The chip itself is the small rectangular thing under the heatspreader. Well, d'oh! Semantics :-) Anyway, thank you for your help. I actually ended up cancelling the order for the modified CPU and now I'm waiting for a Tualatin 1.4GHz + motherboard …

Thank you, guys! @dionb: Thank you very much for the suggestions. I'll take them into account. Yeah, it's a socket adapter soldered on the chip :-) Regarding the BIOS update, that's what I was afraid of... The way I see it, I have two options: either get an older compatible CPU just to boot the …
