I found that my K7M will not POST if either of 2 old keyboards are connected. One was a model M, the other from a 386-era Wang. This nearly made me decide the board was bad. Luckily I just happened to try it when there was no keyboard connected, and then it POSTed immediately. It boots fine with a …

I have a Creative CT6970 GeForce 256 DDR with DVI that I use with a 1280x1024 monitor. Tried it on a 1080p monitor and a 1080p TV with a DVI to HDMI adapter with no success. Also tried it on a native DVI monitor with 1440x900 resolution with no success. Looks like the documentation for the SiI154( …

Just increased the score to 407 3Dmark (8%) by changing memory timings from 3-3-3-5 to 2-2-2-5 (and SDRAM Refresh Mode form "Staggered 1T" to "Simultaneous") :) Increased score to 524 3Dmarks, 39% faster than the first run at 377 3DMarks. :cool: Removed one stick of RAM, now only running 256MB.

377 3D Mark points! I'm guessing this was just a test and that you normally use a graphics card as opposed to the onboard graphics? It's an Asus Terminator Tualatin barebone and I'm not using this system much. The motherboard lacks AGP slot and the fastest PCI graphics I got is a 3dfx Banshee (I …

Are you sure it's a Coppermine PIII? I've never heard about slot 1 or socket 370 450MHz Coppermines. If you gonna run 133MHz FSB make sure your RAM can hadle 133MHz and your graphic card can handle 89MHz AGP, I don't think the ATi Rage Pro Turbo AGP can handle 89MHz.

At least the Asus P4P800 does support them: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/list.aspx? … en&m=p4p800&p=1 With a beta BIOS and the CT479 adapter you can even use Banias and Dothan CPUs. 😈

Or u could get a bx board and run it at 133mhz,a lot of them offer the option and run without problems. You need to mention the caveat of 90MHz AGP causing problems with most AGP cards, whether those problems are subtle or serious. More often than not this setup does not work flawlessly. Many …
