Re: Late 486 bios flash

Posted on 2017-02-12, 21:12

Good question. Normally i would but i have no idea how to that on this board. I've searched the manual also, but nothing came up... These 486 things are weird. I have a vlb one, took me a while to get that fast, nice and stable. Then i finally found a pci board but it goes all crazy on me as soon as …

ok, uniflash did not detect the ''27c10124'' but it did say ''succesful'' after flashing it...... afterwards it didn't even show the bootblock error anymore on the 486 so it did flash something, or messed it up. uniflash did read the original tx chip (winbond 1mbit 5v), i backed it up and put in a …

Late 486 bios flash

Posted on 2017-02-12, 11:26

I have found a GA 486AM/S 486 pci board at a recycler (love that place!) but ofcourse it is without a bios chip. I did find a chip that is the right one but i am pretty sure it doesn't hold the right bios so i didn't test it. With the bios removed you can read on the pcb in the socket ''271024'' so …

voodoo graphics black and white edition

Posted on 2017-02-12, 11:16

I rescued a voodoo graphics (v1) card from the scrapper yesterday together with lots of other parts. I made it a habit with these cards to really check the tiny legs of the chips as they seem to get damaged fairly easy. These were all good and nothing seems missing on the card (compared to another …

That's absolutely correct. But the testing he did was in 3dmark99 so i gave him results i had of 3dmark99. TnL can give a very big boost. I have a game on the k6-3+ that the v2 sli can not run fast enough with that cpu but on the geforce2 gts it is very playable because the game supports TnL. In …

Re: ATI cards from 2004-2008, anything good?

Posted on 2017-02-12, 02:17

If they had made one........ahem, Are you saying 3870 never made into AGP? Oh my all those years of searching! That is correct.... they only made the hd3850 agp and later a hd4670 agp came that can be faster in some settings but ''overall'' the 3850 is the fastest agp card ever made. Nvidia didn't …

The problem here is cpu scaling. The geforce2 mx is no beast by any means but it gets the job done and is fast enough for a retro pc. I tested a while ago the gf2 mx400 (the fastest one). Also did a lot of other cards including voodoo's and matrox. in 3dmark 99 gf2 mx400 did in my tests: k6-2 450mhz …

Re: ATI cards from 2004-2008, anything good?

I think a lot of people here think the same way, including myself. But it is sad, as Ati made very good cards (and they still do). I have almost the complete range from Nvidia, riva128 all the way up to 7900gs agp but i only have a few Ati cards. I stumbled upon a few old ones some time back and i …

Re: Advice for gfx skt 462 build

Posted on 2017-02-11, 10:04

Note that not every revision of the a7n8x deluxe can do 400mhz fsb. Rev. 2.0 (or later) should have no problems but earlier ones may not reach 400fsb stable. It's a common mistake but the early a7n8x deluxe boards are 333fsb boards. It had the nforce2 but the later ones have the nforce2 ultra …
