This is a good thread, because we can find other way of thinking... Anyway i really don't understand the idea of using a gpu like GeForce 6x00, 7xx0 or ATI X series with a gaming p3 platform. If i were you, i would use no more than ATI 8500-9000 (RV200 and derivated) or FX, 4 TI series. If you want …

I think that is a 3DFX Voodoo Velocity 3DFX made some of them for OEM partners (HP, Dell, Compaq etc) they are Voodoo 3 2000 with only 8MB and they are not able to elaborate more than one texture. This is only a software problem you can turn on multitexturing function on your windows register "FX_ …

Incredible setup! I love it It's superb! I hope to do a similar platform in the future Is very hard to find a Voodoo 5 at a good price and even more difficult to find a good VIA KT333 mainboard I'm very interested about your case how you open it?

Have you ever tried to run your Pentium III Coppermine or Tualatin at 66,6mhz? For example a Pentium III 1.0EB Coppermine works at 133,3X7,5 if you set FSB speed at 66,6mhz ,you will run its at 500mhz (66,66X7,5)

I have an old main board a MSI KM2M Combo@6738 and even this main is limited to 266mhz! I tested its with an AMD Athlon XP 3000 Barton with 333mhz bus speed and with a Sempron 2600+ and it works :) MSI's BIOS shows to me the Barton core like an Athlon XP 1900+ but it works and runs well!

nah a Ti 4600 is about the same speed as a Radeon 9600 non pro. if you look at this old review http://www.anandtech.com/show/1095/4 the ti 4600 is a clear winner overall, only with AA/AF things are different, but that's a 9600 PRO (400/600). I'm agree with you During 2003 and 2004 a lot of company …

If you can find a really cheap CUSL2 then you could perhaps fit a modified Tualatin from Ebay into the budget? Finding a cheap TUSL2 seems pretty much impossible, at least in Sweden but I see CUSL2 boards very often. Are you talking about this pinmod? http://www.mrufer.ch/pc/tualatin2_e.html You …
