Thanks for this update, I was starting to pull my hair out trying to work out why WPA (and therefore WPA2 via the regedit) had disappeared from the ralink utility after I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Got them back now, and my Dell Latitude 233MMX has now card WiFi connectivity. Thanks!

I’m using a 939Dual-VSTA as a test machine for PCI, AGP and PCIe cards. Until recently I was using a s939 Athlon 64 X2 4400+ dual booting XP and Win7 32bit with 4GB DDR2. I managed to find the AM2CPU future cpu upgrade board which I flashed with beta firmware to enable Windsor cpus. So now it’s …

I've got one in my Athlon 64 X2 4800+ / HD3850 AGP machine. It's fun to play around with. Cell Factor Revolution and GRAW are pretty interesting to see what it can do.

Old thread I know, but I have one of these VLB IO cards. I found that if I used the config program to set some options then a few things would stop working in my system -the config program would create a config file called 866XDATA in C: and this would stop programs like CTMouse from seeing a serial …

I’d be interested to see some benchmarks from other cpus from 2001-2004 era, to see exactly when the Helo/adventure scores are surpassed by cpu T&L And also when the 1 and 4 light poly counts scores are surpassed too. And finally to see what P2/earlier P3 matches the Geforce256’s 8 light score.

Yeah. I bet it's something like PIII 1.4Ghz. Although I'll rerun 3D Mark 2000 on the dual core 3.2Ghz to see what the Helo, Adventure and High poly count tests give, as that should show us what a maxed out DDR board is capable of.

That's a very cool card :) I thought i'd have a look at 3D Mark 2000 again, with the Geforce256 DD6 64MB that in my PIII 933. I get 5213 for the default 16bit benchmark. If I use a DDR board in my Athlon 64 X2 3.2ghz agp machine i get 6464 3D Marks, so it's interesting to see how GeForce256 …

I’ve got one of these cases too! It was my first ever pc which I built in 1997. My bro recently found it in his basement. It was originally a k6-200 but now it has a K6-2 380 on a jetway j-542b baby AT so I guess it got upgraded in maybe 1999. I’m using a Mateox G400 and an AWE64 ISaA, and the plan …

Thanks for the info! I swapped the dram and, as you all said, it made no difference to the doom framerate!
