Re: 32-Bit Windows XP + 4 GB of System RAM + 3 GB GPU VRAM?

Would like to add that if card has more than 4GB of VRAM, it will be limited by driver to whatever value it can adress on 32-bit OS. Example, Win7 x86 + Gallatin + Titan Xp (and card using over 8GB of VRAM on desktop) : LINK

The only way to make my Intensity 4K Pro co-operate on HDMI with most things, was to use Aten VC160A VGA to DVI (and then passive DVI to HDMI adapter) : LINK , OR combo of active adapter Delock 62596 (DVI to DP) + a generic DP to HDMI passive one. EDIT : Worst case (if above doesn't work) VGA out => …

I am building a similar pc but with an X58 supercomputer. -i7 930 -etherlink 3 -audigy I have switched the SATA controller to compatible mode. How did you handle the sata? In compatible if I plug a random pci express card into the first X16 slot, the motherboard blocks the boot by giving me an …

You are correct, games for Win98 probably don't need more than PIII/AthlonXP. However that's not what OP has running or what he asked about. Maybe he wants to dual/triple boot with XP/7 on this setup (because X58 will be great at that) ? (and PIII/AXP are simply too slow for that)

Posted on 2023-01-10, 07:51
why exactly are you trying to run windows 98 on an x58 system anyway that hardware is much to new for windows 98. there isn't going to be any official drivers for any of the chipset or ide/sata stuff. If you want performance, X58 will be faster than Pentium III/Athlon XP. Sure, for GPUs you are …

Do not buy CL3.0 class memory (JEDEC). Get CL2.5, with CL2.0 being highly recommended.

What style of cable are you using for IDE (40 wire or 80 wire) ? Also, since this is IDE controller "talking to" SATA SSD, I guess there is an adapter somewhere ? If so, adapter may not support higher/other modes (that are selected by default by "AUTO" setting).

Just use a DVI switch. Here's an example of one : https://www.ebay.com/itm/284289618387 Also, if monitor has HDMI or VGA, you can use passive DVI to HDMI (or DVI to VGA) adapters, and swap between cards with input selector in monitor's menu.

82.69 is moded to support everything, may require r_Loew specific patches for some issues (shut down problem, or 512MB VRAM). There should be a version of it that has those build-in.

You need to add custom resolution via PowerStrip/driver, as 1440x1080 isn't a VESA/"standard" resolution. Don't forget to disable scaling (or force GPU to scale).

Yup slow as shit L3 cache, it should have been on the order of 30% or more uplift over Northwood but Intel cut corners and stuck it with 512kb of L2 instead of 2Mb. 15% uplift over Northwood really isn't that impressive when looking at actual real world numbers when Northwood performed terribly out …

Force lowest DRAM frequncy and boot with it, BEFORE you try to test "1600" under FSB. Of that doesn't help reflash the BIOS to older version or switch to moded one. Also Does Ctrl+F1 BIOS unlock change anything ?
Re: Athlon XP 3200+ FSB problem

Drop DRAM speed to 333MHz and keep FSB at 400MHz. Someting I found : https://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=585064
