If your board is a C2 revision then you can use EDO(not all later revisions allow EDO though - F does not for example). Just stick in the ram into an old 486 board which features 72 pin simms - if it starts up the ram is FPM. Another option is reading the numeric code on the modules - if it ends …

With Windows-95c I would use an S3-trio64 PCI video card or an Cirrus Logic PCI video card. WIll work vanilla with Windows 95c. Windows 95c should auto detect and load the drivers from the Win95c CDROM.

Benchmarks: 3dBench = 365 Speedsys = 2676471 ( twice the speed of a Pentium 200mhz. ).

Very nice PC. I hope I also get lucky and stumble across a cheap K6-2+ or K6-3 some day, the 64MB cacheable RAM barrier on my 430TX/K6-2_400/Win98 PC really bugs me 😒

Can you comment on your intention to switch to Voodoo ? I never had good experience with VIA chipsets. Wonder if you have some observations that you can share ? In general, what do you think about K5 CPUs compared to their counterparts at the time ? Good stuff.

If FPU is auto-sensed... something I've never really seen before, and without an FPU, the Bios is the only option. To get into the Bios, you will have to.... Re-set / Clear it with the jumper, every time you get a..."Wait". Once you Reset / Clear the Bios with jumper, and reboot the system... you …

Hey. That's a tremendous build you have going on. I have something similar. The CPU is actually a K6-III+ rather than a K6-III. Much better at overclocking and no issues with caching RAM. Keep us posted on this great build!

I don't remember them suffering from low reliability, but they were not great at floating point calculations - 3d rendering, cad/cam, etc.

I ordered a 60mm x 20mm cooling fan for the Voodoo-3 that I want to attach before I install the Voodoo-3 card. These cards run very hot and the heat is a BIG cause of these cards failing. GPU and RAM Solder joints tend to break from over heating. Philscomputerlab has video about this. https://www. …

Tested with a borrowed FPU, but this made no difference. Also tried with a different POST card (a proper old one instead of an eBay one). This gave me two POST codes! At cold boot: 85 After CTRL-ALT-DEL: 4B I also dumped the BIOS contents and compared them to a copy I found online. They are …

Hello everyone, At first, i haven't posted that much here, but i am really happy with all the content that can be found here. I have two GFD devices and see that some people are searching for these devices. I can probably reverse-engineer them and produce a small batch of them for the people that …
