Re: Will 533 MHz FSB CPUs work in an AOpen i855GMEm-LFS @ 533 MHz
Posted on 2023-02-10, 23:59
I'm not sure if this BIOS is newer than that. Probably not, but the added "bn" and the date are confusing. Thank you and I suspect it is, where did it come from and do you know what it fixes please? Maybe it's needed for 533 MHz FSB support. What does my SIV utility report as the BIOS version …

Does anyone know if 533 MHz FSB CPUs will work in an AOpen i855GMEm-LFS motherboard @ 533 MHz please? Both the motherboard manual and Intel 82855GME chipset datasheet specify 400 MHz so I suspect not.

I have just uploaded SIV 5.69 Beta-03 which has greatly improved support for Windows NT 3.51. On one of my test systems using the native shell I see: https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=156966 This is not ideal and I feel this is mainly down to the issues with the native shell as after I …

I felt I would like to have a PCIe GPU, but thus far can't find a working driver for NT 4.00 and I don't think an NT3.51 driver exists, does anyone know of one please? For NT 4.00 I found DriverVer=05/20/2004, 4.00.03.4504 , it installs, but when I reboot it get's half way through starting, then …

I don't have NT 3.5 installed at the moment, but I can fire it up over the weekend if it would help you. Thank you, that version is way better. I have set 1600 x 1200 x 32 as 1920 x 1200 only offers 24-bit colour. It's interesting that the G400 enables AGP when it's disabled in the 865PE chipset. …

Thus far the best I have found is a S3 Trio64V2/DX (86C775) 😀, but it won't do 1024 x 768 x 32 even though it's listed as a valid mode 🙁

Are you using SP6a? I wasn't and as it looks like it's not available for Terminal Server I installed Enterprise Server which allows 8 CPUs :).

I felt I would try a Intel Pentium Extreme 840 (Smithfield) so I did. As expected NT4 only used the two cores with 2003 using all 4 CPUs.

My Quadro FX 1300 works fine on NT4. :) Thank you for the post, but it would be far more helpful to specify the driver version you use rather than a contents of a .INF file from an unspecified driver. I tried my Quadro FX 1300 with 77.72_winnt4_english.exe and it did not work and then I tried my …
