Re: Cyrix appreciation thread

The Geforce MX 4000 is basically a Geforce 2 MX. I'm honestly not sure if it will be better than the FX or not in that machine. I don't know how big a difference SSE makes in the drivers. It is always possible that it will not improve anything! EDIT: Google says NV18 so Geforce 4 MX, but again very …

The 6x86L makes me very sad, fine if you are doing basic windows/office apps but many issues with games and even some apps! Had a PR200+ and "downgraded" back to a Pentium 133. The MX is much better.

I did a similar build and used a PCI Voodoo 3 2000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZINWXDovHg Otherwise TNT2 M64 PCI, Geforce MX 4000 PCI are some other options.

6x86MX PR300 will be similar to K6 200MHz, no where near a P3.

No not massive. I think Cyrix used higher FSB as they struggled to get MHZ up, so it helped a bit.

When I was testing Cyrix CPUs I found higher MHz was better than higher FSB.

I don't mind the Cyrix MII/MX I've got a range of benchmarks here: https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Super_So … et_7_Benchmarks Also did a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ueo8vfhFeM8 From testing in Quake 3 a PR333 is similar to a 233MMX

I found a newer version that I archived. The size is a bit smaller but can see the forums have more posts, so I have put this online as well. Hosted here: http://falconfly2.vogonswiki.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.html

Yep just picked up the cpu for $60 AUD which is actually pretty good, everything in Australia is expensive. Thank you again!

Amazing thank you, that’s great. I’ve tested the cpu and posted without issues at 1ghz, I haven’t tried anything else yet with it.

Hi Guys, I've got a GA-6BXC Rev 2.0 motherboard with F3 bios that came with a Pentium 3 500MHz (non-Coppermine). I want to upgrade the CPU to a Coppermine P3. I've got a Slot 1 P3 1GHz (100MHz FSB) that I would like to install. I am just a bit concerned about the voltage. I'm not sure the voltage is …

I had a Pentium 4 2.4 with a Geforce 2 Pro back in the day. The Geforce 2 is very much a bottleneck for the system. If the budget works I would much prefer a Geforce 3. Saying this, for 2000-2001 games the Geforce 2 should work well.

Na that’s odd, should be faster. Have you tried 3dmark2000 or something to see if direct3d is ok? Are you running the offical drivers?

At the moment for me it is: IDE Hard Drives, IDE CD/DVD ROMs, ISA Network Cards, Motherboards (all kinds), Fans/Heatsinks and PSUs that can do higher amps. It's funny, I have plently of GPUs, CPUs etc but motherboards and fans/heatsinks are an issue. Space is always a problem.......

The Banshee was really just a slightly cut down Voodoo 2, with 2D bolted on. In performance, maybe, but it has a number of features that the Voodoo 3 built on including: 22bit postfilter, windowed 3d, unified memory, higher resolutions. Yes when running multi-texture the V2 is faster, but it isn't …

@xelizor I won't be selling this, and I doubt anyone would want one, it's quite expensive to make one. I do plan to release the files after I get it working. Anthony does some similar crazy stuff and sells them - https://www.zxc64.com I've purchased a few. Although yours does look very impressive …

Also tested with 66MHz FSB? This is also a problem with the original Voodoo Graphics. DOS Games are crashing with this card at 100MHz FSB. The Pentium 2 300MHz made a difference, I can now start a time demo in Quake 3, although it does still crash, but seems related! Interesting, I wonder why only …
