This is what I get with
P5A-B Rev 1.06
128mb x2 133 CL2
K6-3+ 2.2V 617Mhz
Geforce 2 Ultra stock
Win98SE
DX7a
ALi 2.13 with ALi utility set to turbo.
CTU tweak no write order
WPCREDIT Timings

I believe there is still some left to squeeze out though.

That is a good result! My best with 512kb cache and 633MHz is 5250
I am at 5104 with 617MHz now 😁

Damn! Any tips and pointers?
Is Ali 2.13 faster then 1.9?

Can you share your wpcredit and BIOS settings?

Hey, so who has the best score on a via mbp3?

Can I get a recipe out of you? Maybe even a few uploads? Details on how to set up the software.

On another note,
I’ve been trying to get my setup working again, even fresh installed but it keeps having driver issues. 3dm2000 just goes back to windows when I try to launch it.

So frustrating.

I think it’s the video driver.

Any tips for best driver for radeon 9800 pro windows ME

I cant remember what I did with my MVP3C-m, But think the score was 4800 with 617MHz.
ALi and Radeon has a secret, I was able to do it once and did not keep record of what I did.
But I remember that it could not be win9x because I could not tweak the AGP in regedit to get it stable.
Everything you do the Radeon is slow but when you find the secret the FPS doubles.

This is my score. Not sure if its the highest for MVP3. Re: AMD K6 3DMARK, aiming for stars.

Is that the ultra freeway? Or ata33

Would be cool to have rhat drive image to load on my system with your config

Yes, its the Freeway ultra board. System is no longer put together. My CPU was holding me back.

Surely it was not the CPU since I’ve entered 5000+ score with 1mb of cache with via mvp3 and you did not with two megs.

At what speed was your CPU?

Does anyone have a CPU that will run 5.5x120 660MHz?
Mine crashes during game 1 randomly. I've put the whole PC outside! I'm in North Dakota USA... Its cold!! Made stability worse 😒
Any one tested these 2+ 570 CPUs with forced cooling?
Maybe the motherboard or something else don't like the cold 🤣.

Also I am using MX4 thermal paste, I think its too thick.

Hello again, SS7-aimiers-for-stars! Stage one complete. Looks weird, but here we are: ACOSUS 😀

I've pulled a broken Asus P5A-B mobo (does not start) from Ebay. Post code card says F8.

An Acorp 5ALI61 "donor" w/o tag SRAM from the post above also showed F8 code. It was estimated that malfunction was caused by a dead south bridge. But, it was not dead )) it was just partly desoldered from the mobo.

We have IMPLANTED south bridge from ACORP into ASUS. Revision A1->B1. Now, our ASUS is alive.. But, it cannot detect IDEs.

No problem, a patched BIOS from ACORP delivers 😀 UDMA66 in Asus P5A-B. I also tried enabling 10-bit internal TAG SRAM. It works! And another thing: ONE GIG SDRAM was properly detected (but, hangs) 😀
My Win2K needs replacement by a period-correct Win98SE

What have you changed in the bios ? Want to upgrade the southbridge on my P5A. Installed is the latest beta bios
