1369 3DMarks with 3dmark99 default @ 233Mhz (3.5 x 66) Voodoo2 SLI. Anyone who Can do better at default settings I dare ya ;) I don't know how but I beat it, barely. similar configuration to Yourself, except Epox EP-MVP3G5 Stb Voodoo 2 SLI, P233mmx at default speed. This was about the 10th run. I …

How many Amps does Your power supply provide on the +5v rail? You need 30 Amps unless Your motherboard has the +12v ATX 4 pin connector. Back in the day I tried a 9800xt on my Abit KT7-Raid and no go, it wasn't until 10 years later i realised that the 250W power supply didn't cut it.

For those wondering about ATI video cards, I ran this with a radeon 8500. Interestingly it has the exact same memory IC's as the Geforce 3 Ti200, which means the memory on the GF3 has a fair way to go from 430 to 550mhz, well theoretically anyway. I used the 2.2 driver. No idea if a later one will …

I've re-run most of my previous benchmarks with 7.58 driver, it's a fair bit faster. I tried 3.2v with the cpu at 300mhz, still blue screens. I'm not wasting any more time with this cpu aiming for 300mhz. I might put my 200mmx in at a later date. Also I have a Tillamook cpu that may work with this …

I have all the non documented voltage settings for this Epox motherboard. There is no chance of ever hitting over 3.3v as it won't do 3.4v or 3.5v no matter what I do with the switch block. I'll have another try with the MMX with higher voltage and see what the Voodoo2 can achieve.

It's a shame this motherboard cannot post at over 100mhz fsb with the L2 Cache on because fsb makes a huge difference. The 250mhz with 100fsb is not far off the 285mhz with 95fsb. Oh nice! I wonder what a voodoo 2 sli setup would do on that cpu speed! Since your gf3 still got beaten at the 233mhz …

I never tried 3x100 and that was because 83x3.5 (292) gave blue screens before even getting to the desktop. I didn't want to try 3v. You can try 3.0/3.1V without any issues, just make sure you have a more robust heatsink/fan (a small to medium sized socket 370 cooler should be fine). I only have …

OK Yes this is total cheating, but I bet a few were wondering. Motherboard is Epox EP-MVP3G5. I think it's still fair game. Thanks for the tests, they paint a nice picture on what's going on here. I presume 3x100 was unstable eh? Considering this PCI variant of the AGP8x version of MX440 probably …
