so would the pcx2 fair better in a 64bit pci slot maybe. can it even take adavantage ? i can see the slight boost of a maybe a bx system at 133fsb because of the overclocked pci bus but your still stuck with a pentium 3 . then again doubt you can expect much more moving to a pentium 4. No, 64bit …

in bx system pci bus doesn't overclock it has proper divider, its the AGP bus that overclocks to 89mhz in a true 66mhz pci slot that was attached to like a PCI-X 133 slot the card wouldn't run becasue its not 3.3v keyed. Its keyed for 5vonly. It wouldn't even be insert able in such a slot. the card …

from my testing the kyro2 does better in w2k as far as scores. Seems the w2k driver is better tuned then the 98se one.

Results are in for the TUSL2-C [Windows 2K and on Nvidia drivers 45.23] I don't know why CPU-Z reports that the AGP is at 2X, while 4X is selected in BIOS and the Quadro is clearly an AGP 4X generation. You need to relash it with the evil bios. Its a common issue with the vanilla asus bios. http:// …

According to the manual, AOpen AP5TC is a rare Socket 7 motherboard (i430TX) with an SB-Link header. I must be special then. Came up on that board in a motherboard lot. Yes your right it indeed does have sb-link. Almost feels kinda useless when it has isa slots already. Either way its a interesting …

Can this be ported for the cuv4x as well since the p3v4x are damn near identical just slot1 vs s370 difference?.

The only gtx 7800 worth a damn is the 512mb version which is rare. Freaking beast . but yea 7900 gtx if all else fails.

Sure your better off with a 845 based system, but that's boring as studying then throwing parties every 2nd day. A RD based system is in my wishlist as it's more interesting vs the endless SD RAM systems (not to mention cost is in my favour now) Intel 845 systems get owned by sis chipsets. Highend …

Im loving my asus commando 965p board supports all the p4s it seems and all the early conroes as well. Also has support upto e7000/8000 c2d and some 1066 quads. The only thing that honestly sucks is the 8x/4 pcie layout in crossfire kills performance not the more desired 8x/8x default when using 2 …

Yeah. The X1950 Pro seems to be the best solution for such a system, as it is much faster than a Geforce 6800GT/6800 Ultra, and faster than a 7800GS. And superior image quality across the board. It should have slightly nicer texture filtering than HD 2000 - 5000 too actually. Less mipmap transition …

My only gripe is people who use x1950pro/xt agp on unbalanced systems like pre 939 systems create a bottleneck. Anyway this onesided benchmarking by the op would have been more interesting with a x1950 instead. Either way i appreciate the data which is still important. Let's make that pre Socket- …
