No [ES] :) Thank you for checking the fix and posting the save files. I had a quick check and all looks OK. Please update to SIV 5.55 Beta-00 which I have just released. I am wondering that the other Willamette you have reports in MSR 0000002C (EBC_FREQUENCY_ID). Next time you have it running …

By default multiper was x8. I change it to x14 but in the system i get same results exept multiper = "x14" I think you are saying that it always runs at x14 no matter what you select in the BIOS, is this the case? By the way i found uncorfimed information that Willamate get HT support but was …

According to that data it seems to me it's an ES. We'll need to find an old version of Processor Identification Utility for confirmation. I have lots more fidenus in neither of the attached works Mine is 100% ES for sure, so CPUZ get's it wrong and also failed to sensibly report the RDRAM SPD + …

I tried both a 1MB S3 Trio64V+ on W2K and a 2MB S3 Trio64V+ on WXP and from the images you can see both are fine On WXP you should also see it's using the stock driver Is the motherboard PCI slot OK?

I'll try another time but it keeps rebooting at some point. If you look at the last line of the .TXT file that should be the section being processed when there was the issue. You can skip that section by doing Menu->File->Save->Save Selected and deselecting that section before pressing [ Start ] .

For some time I have been pondering how to dump the NVidia GPU VBIOS when there are multiple GPUs present so when I stumbled across the undocumented NvAPI_GPU_GetVbiosImage(), even in the NDA NVAPI, this set me pondering.

The Samuel works fine just because its emulation happens to be currently less thorough than the P6 emulation, and as a result, it wasn't coded to GPF on unknown MSR yet. Thank you and all looks OK.
