My fastest vlb system contains this hardware:
Aquarius MB-4DUV, cyrix 5x86-100, Promise cache controller (VLB), 32MB ram, some VLB i/o card for com/lpt (ide and FDD are disabled in favour of the Promise).
Now I have 2 graphics cards I really like;
- Cirrus Logic GD5428 with 2MB
- Diamond Stealth SE (S3 Trio32) 1MB
The Diamond turns out to be slightly faster in DOS benchmarks. So I like to upgrade it to 2MB. There are upgrade slots available and I do have matching memory chips.
However when I insert these chips, the card will not use them and univbe keeps reporting 1024kB.
No n00b mistake: I did orientate then correctly.
There chips don't get hot either.
All contacts seem ok.
I did exchange the memory chips with my 5428: that one does report 2048kB in univbe with both sets of chips.
Win3.11 also boots the 5428 to 800x600x16b on both sets. So they seem okay.
Do I miss something here? Why won't my Diamond report 2048kB video ram?
Stuck at 10MHz...
