Re: AGP for Super S7 with weak VRMS?

Posted on 2023-05-05, 00:11

[...] The thought is depressing though. Super 7 was crap. I had a VA 503 decades ago. I still have a ASUS P5A stored away but haven't used it in like 10 years. Slot A isn't all that much better. From my testing, anything nVidia and MVP3 = problems unless using the PCI versions with self reliant VRM …

TNT1 32 MB (Diamond S540) is not a real TNT1, the Diamond S540 is a S3 Savage 4 Xtreme. You are absolutely right, I got confused with two ads from the same seller at the same price, one for an S540 and the other for a Viper V550, the later being the TNT 1 I was trying to refer to. (I'll correct my …

Hi! I’m trying to remember, but I think my radeon 9000 works in my fic. I have gotten a radeon 9800 pro to work on ss7 believe it or not. But I don’t think the fic 503 liked it. Gf2 or quadro 2 seems to be a good one for many others. Those cards have the 3dm records but idk if that translates to …

I also have a VA-503+ 1.2A and I've tested it with a Voodoo3 3000, as well as a TNT2 among others, and I haven't seen a problem. Have I just experienced a lot of dumb luck? I had heard of problems with other boards but not this one, so I hadn't thought to be careful. Yikes. Is there a primary …

Hey guys, thank you for your comments, keep'em coming, please :D ! Some notes triggered by them: the gf2 mx400 is the best you can have. I never had any compatibility issue with it while tnt\2 are more problematic. That's something I hadn't considered, thanks for the heads up! (and I do have a GF2 …

AGP for Super S7 with weak VRMs?

Hi! So, by chance, I got myself a super socket 7 board: a FIC VA-503+ v1.2. It also came with an S3 Savage4 Pro-M, which happened to be in my wish list so that was a nice surprise, and it will be fun to play with its proprietary API... I plan to use a K6-2 500/550 MHz but for what I've been reading …

in DOS
If it's okay I'd like to piggyback on to this thread with the following: I have a machine that has a weird dual boot setup, with Windows 98 and "wary puppy Linux" set up using GRUB. I actually like this combination as Linux makes it easier to do certain things on the windows partition, like copy …

in DOS
I've tried cloning a Windows 95 and 98 hard drive - with the same results. It's an AST P166 PC. Plugging in the HDD into the Windows 10 machine, taking the image, then writing it back to the CF. I can get the CF to work if I boot the Pentium PC using an MS-DOS floppy and formatting/etc the disk. …

in DOS
Hi, I probably never cloned an HDD to CF (yet), but this comes to mind: - Make sure the resulting partition in the CF card is marked as active/bootable - Maybe ran a "sys c:" from a bootable floppy with your OS against your CF connected as C: (assuming you're running some DOS or win 9x). - Try …
