Only unusual stuff can get software a proper run for it's money 😁

Like you said red-ray, one core is active, while five are "greyed out".
Maybe it's because I think in terms of CPU-z (which shows only what OS uses).
I thought it was the most logical option (even if CPU has 5 other cores turned on).

Unfortunately I cannot send PMs (apparently I'm too young at least on this forum to do so), so I cannot reply to your message and will to do so here.

Thanks very much for your report! That's really an outstanding GPU 😀
I have tried to fix some things, especially detection of the multiple VSA100 chips on one card. If my assumptions are correct that these chips work in Quad-SLI mode, my fix should report proper information. Please try this new build: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi32_611_3921.zip
and let me know the result including a new Debug File.
Thanks again!

Hi Mumak,

You're welcome and thanks 😀

In regards to the VSA-100 chips. Yeah, they are in Quad-SLI, but they all are behind the PCI-to-PCI-bridge Hint HB-1 SE66. That's different to the 5500. Two VSA-100 can work directly (Master-Slave), but more of them required the bridge chip. Maybe that's making it difficult to detect them all.

I'll look into the new version as soon as possible and will report back to you!

END OF LINE.

Thanks for the information. I (thanks to Ray) just found that the version I posted above might not properly report the config. I will need to adjust this and release a new test version.
I will post it here in a few minutes.

And here's the new version: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi32_611_3922.zip
My aim is to detect the 4 x VSA-100 config and show it as such including full memory size.
Looking forward to the results...

Thanks for the new test and results!
Since only one VSA-100 appears on the PCI bus, I wanted this to show up as one device (card) with VSA-100 x 4. So I attempted to detect this universally via SLI configuration, but that didn't work out (seems like the SLI config is not provided as I expected it). So I added a workaround for this case. Please could you try again this build: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi32_611_3925.zip and let me know the results.
What I haven't been able to figure out yet is how to report fan speed on this mainboard... It looks like it has an ADM1025 chip, but that doesn't support monitoring fans and the LPC47M112 is quite tricky.

And here just another build where I attempted to add fan speed monitoring of the SMSC LPC47M112: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi32_611_3926.zip

Have a report fresh from my P133 rig, in the hopes it'll be useful... (by the way, I had a hard time making this report, because my P133 is infuriatingly temperamental 😠 and LOOOOOVES to crash or randomly fail in often worrysome yet spectacular ways)

Without further ado:

Thanks! Yes, it's useful, I haven't got such a report for pretty long time 😀
I see that SMBIOS DMI information is a bit messed up. Looks like the BIOS doesn't fill it properly and I need to workaround this.
What is the mainboard model, according to BIOS ID it should be Shuttle HOT-555A. Is that correct?

Yes that's the one, more specifically, it's a Shuttle HOT-555A Rev. 3.2, the one I have seems to have a few issues at the moment (such as random hardlocks and corruptions when using a PMMX... Oh well)

Thanks. That's because of Win98.
To identify a CPU HWiNFO doesn't rely on the CPU name string (which can be faked sometimes), but on certain factors. An since Win98 doesn't have MPS support, the number of cores is limited, which causes the mismatch.
I think that GPU parameters might be wrong because it's not properly initialized due to the driver lack.

Tried on my w98SE rig.
It crashes. At CPU detection it seems.
I'm using latest beta BIOS so I can use higher clocked Coppermine CPUs

Yeah I'm running my 650Mhz(100FSB) P3 at 133FSB speed, but it have been rock stable over 4 months. So it can't be the issue.
