Just some simm. Not really worth to spend too much time thinking about them. Just plug them in your board and see if they work for you. I have a whole bag of these. there's prolly like a 100 different types, brands and flavors of these around. I tested them in a 386 mobo without success (cannot …

I can not believe :sweatdrop: I incorrectly configured jumpers for bus speed and processor speed :oops: :oops: , the correct setting is just the reverse of what I had jumped.

Hi all, I'm testing a Chaintech 5AGM2 (AT/ATX, AGP+PCI+ISA MVP3 Via chipset, very close Shuttle HOT-591P' design) with a P166MMX (SL27H). First, I put a P166 (3.3V) without MMX and worked fine, then I found a SL27H (2.8V), reconfigured jumpers but nothing is shown on screen and no beep (I tried 2 …

I am tempted to grab the last one LOL I wonder if there are any benchmarks in low-res stuff I bought it because I have a curiosity to see how it behaves under DOS and Win95... It's not much expensive (I pm to the seller to lower the price because it's untested, and he applied a 5$ discount ) :wink:

As fas as I know... those three chips are only usefull if you want to work at 24bit color and high resolutions (1280x1024 and above). I think is as fast as a single Vision864 (that is fast enough for dos games! at least games I usually play) But would be wanderful if somebody find (or develop) a …
