Re: UMC chipset PCI 486 mobo. AMD P90 CPU options?

Thank you feipoa! I wasn't able to find this bios on the internet. Unfortunately bios on my motherboard has this small window. Have you ever removed award sticker from your bios? If so, what is typed on it? Maybe I can find the same part on one of my damaged motherboards... ^^ I guess you can find …

Since the release of 12.1, Neverwinter Nights seems broken again with an OGL crash.

Probly because compared to D3D not very many people are using it so I doubt ATI does any testing for it. Possibly they are doing it intentionally to see who complains. heh

This is probably why RAGE broke after shipping too.

Does anyone have any success stories with running a 1.2 GHz Nehemiah? If so, what motherboard was used? I haven't had good experiences running C3's with slocket adapters. I have already found incompatabilities in VIA's list of compatable motherboards, even for socket 370 motherboards. They should …

I saw on mini-itx.com that wcpuid could vary the c3 multiplier on an epia board, from 3x to 13x: http://www.mini-itx.com/hardware/overclocking/ Needs windows but I wondered if it also depended on the motherboard. I was unable to get this program to alter the multiplier on a Nehemiah 1.2 GHz (133 x …

You will get some advantage from V2 SLI with that level of cpu - eg. quake will run at 1024x768. Faster cpus will get more out of them, but there's always that kind of issue. I would just think about what games you want to play and with what performance, and see if they will do that for you.

There is not a great deal of performance difference between my pii 400 and piii 700 running 3d games with sli 12mb voodoo2. They don’t need a really fast CPU to get the most out of them according to my casual benchmarking. I reckon SLI voodoo2 ran all the 3d games great up until Quake3 was released …

I do not have any Voodoo equipment and was going to make my mind up before buying. I may be wrong but I think I remember Voodoo being the major video card up until 2002 when the Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti4200/4400/4600 series was released. I was going to go with either a Voodoo 2 SLI Setup or perhaps one …

I never really experienced Glide back when it was really popular, and there's a lot of earlier games that I would like to play again (1996 - 2002) but I don't know if they support glide. A few of them are Deus Ex, Might & Magic VI-VIII, and the Thief Series. I'm not sure I understand. What is there …

I'm not sure I understand. What is there to "experience" ? The game either looks right or it doesn't. I never saw glide in action or a game with 3D voodoo graphics on a computer, or visually experienced it ... back then, my PC had 4MB video I think. I imagine that depends entirely on what game …

Question 1: I've read that glide isn't smooth frame rate by today's standards does it appear jerky or what you might see at 10-20 fps on some games? Since you are asking this, its quite obvious you never used Voodoo before. :blush: You will not get any stuttering in virtually any Glide-compatible …
