On the non-original, you have to measure where you have the individual wires for data, ground, Vcc and clock and sort the wires into a line accordingly to match the header connection - header wiring is in the manual, I marked it for you on the pics.

I'll do more testing once I swap the GPU, kinda hard to test is the OS stable with late NVIDIA win9x drivers 😀 Right then, what a mess this turned out to be. Here's a wall of text of my adventures in Win9x lands with Asus P5Q Deluxe: Windows ME : I started with WinME because I've never used it …

PS2 and USB ports are on bracket, which connects to the 20pin connector between COM and PRINTER headers.

That doesn't help. Those are the RAID drivers, too, and they can't load in textmode in nLite for some reason anyway. You need install VIA Serial ATA RAID controller driver for VT8237, no AHCI.

Do you know which RLOEW nvidia patch he is referring to in his post (besides the VRAM patch)? You mean this?: For NVidia-cards on 890 and AMD 9xxx chipsets, to avoid stuttering because of an incompatibility of the NVidia-Driver with those chipsets, you need a commercial patch by RLoew. It also …

I was inspired by your build to do a quick test with my Asus M3A78-EM and I am glad to report that everything works very well indeed! Using "setup /p i", patchmem and ptchsata yields an almost perfect install, with only the SMBUS showing an exclamation mark in Device Manager. This, too, has a …

Your benchmark scores are quite low, indeed. Off the top of my head, even though I don't recall exact numbers, I seem to remember having a similar performance issue when I ran the benchmarks on Win98 with 4GB RAM in dual channel. This is the reason why I reverted to using a single 2GB DIMM. Not …

I did some more testing with the 6600GT and it seems that the performance loss under Win9x affects that card as well, albeit a bit differently than the X800GTO. Also, I was able to force install 77.72 drivers under Win98, which seem to be slightly more compatible than 81.98. Some benchmarks: …
