Thank you for your suggestion. I tested the socket7 with a lot of VGA cards without problems. The fastest was a FX5950 Ultra, several times faster than a poor TNT-2 (the most balanced card for a Super7 with a K6 PLUS is a Geforce MX 440/ Radeon 8500, again way faster than a TNT-2...) I was hoping to …

Hi all, following a topic where J'aws stated that sawing a proper nVidia 6800(NATIVE AGP) it could be used on a AGP 3.3V port, I found a Asus V9999GE card for cheap and sawed it to open the 3.3V notch. I want to use it on a venerable GA-5AX Super-7 board along with my beloved K6-III+. Problem is …

At first the system won't boot, it emitted some beeps, one long amd two short. I know that this code points to a vga problem, but all the vga I used ( …

A motherboard with a smaller form factor than a P5A-B, is not Baby AT. A motherboard with the same form factor is Baby AT. Mine was an ironical nonsense... Ok I give up... My english should be really bad. For the request, I am afraid that no one ever released a sis530 with deactivable onboard vga. …

P5A-B is baby AT. In fact I said, if he means a motherboard smaller than a P5A-B, that is baby AT. There are plenty of motherboard with AGP slot that is baby AT, I'm not sure what he means.

No baby AT with AGP slot was made, if for "baby AT" you mean smaller than a P5A-B.

Hi, From my experience (I'm from k6plus forum), K6-2+ and III+ both achieve 600mhz at +0.1 vcore and was rock solid on Gigabyte GA-5AX rev. 5.2 / Epox MVP3G2/ MVP3G5. I was able to do a little optimizations on the Epox ones with vpcredit to enhance memory performance. The best combo should be 112mhz …

Sorry jaws, my english is poor and maybe I used the wrong words. I am really curious about your 7600gs. If you have time I will be really happy to see your rig work.

Obobskivic, maybe we are saying the same thing. Is not me that want to put a 7600gs in a AGP 3.3v slot. I know it is impossible. BUT, someone here says that it can be done and he will bring proof. I'm only curious about that. For me, I've bought a V9999 on Ebay, next week it will be in my hand.

9250 is NOT an R300 card and Yes, 7600gs is bridged, I say it before, that's why I'm skeptical about its functionality on AGP 3.3v. I miss the point of your advice.

For a balanced system and to play old games, I use a Radeon 9250 256mbyte (128bit). R300 is not so stable on Ali chipset. Now I only want to check if a 6800gt would work. I found on ebay a v9999, if I win the auction I will happily CUT it. Still I am a bit skeptical about reliable 3D performance on …

Hi, Thank you for your answer. What game did you run with 7600gs? Apart from artifacts, such a card shouldn't work in 3D due to HIS bridge and electrical incompatibility (that causes no agp acceleration).

The fastest AGP 2x compatible (without hardware mods) VGA is GeForce FX5900 (not sure about FX5950) and Radeon 9700. I can confirm that an Asus FX5950 Ultra worked flawlessly in my K6-III+ rig. And just for completion, a K6-plus in general, is seriously bottlenecked only by a Geforce GTS (Anandtech …

Thank you for your contribution. I tested the mx GeForce also (200-400 or 440), but they are slow. An 8500 Radeon is way more fast and still compatible. What I'm searching here, is really the "weird" thing. I read the post you linked, the guy use the card on 2D applications only, like me with 6600GT …
