Re: Windows2000 or WindowsXP for a dual P3 1Ghz (Coppermine), 2GB of ram, Geforce 6800+voodoo2 SLI ?

Most the arguments in this thread are made way out of context and are speculative at best mainly because the OP is so vague in details. Just blanket statement which is going to be better, without context in regard of what programs will be installed, what OS optimizations are preformed. Exact specs …

Ok please take it easy guys, no need to go overboard because of a matter of opinions or experiences. What keeps me coming back here at vogons is the gathering of opinions and experiences, not clashing them. However, WinXP isn't much different and has much more support. For that reason alone I prefer …

I think i got it! Removing the network adatper solved the voodoo 2 crashing in glide games. Beats me why that was the culprit as it's a pretty regular network card. It's a D-link DFE-530-TX. I guess i need to find a replacement for it as i can't live without access to my NAS for all my stuff.

Hi. Yes, it's a fresh installation and it was the first time i was installing 3Dfx hardware. As for the weird System info it seems to be unrelated as it is mentioned in the readme file that it can happen... Device manager looks ok, no conflits at all and i already did reset my BIOS, i even tried …

I've tried three Voodoo 2 cards now, all with the same weird symptom. They work fine on other systems. I'ce ran voodoo2 video cards before under windows xp with no problems, so i'm not sure if this is another motherboard chipset issue or not... For testing purposes i'm running a Voodoo 3 AGP now on …

Back at you guys, sorry for only awnsering now. I went with XP. The motherboard i'm using is a Gigabyte GA-6VXDC7 that i recently recapped with nichicon caps around the power supply area. But this board has been giving some grief mostly because of it's chipset, a VIA Apollo Pro VT82C686 and it's …

Hi. Initially i was going for Windows98 with this build but the lack of SMP support and the unability of Windows98 to coop with more than 512mb of ram made me change my mind. I'm going to run mostly games from 1998 to 2003\2004 with this build and WinXP seems more tempting to me because i'm way more …

Re: So embarrassing..what's the default bios password for this PC Chips Cheetah 486 board v1.7 motherboard?

Well, i would like to have a better socket 3 motherboard but i unfourtanely don't. To make matters worse i believe that this board has fake cache chips! Still and if this helps anyone else with the same problem, i found a way around the password issue. If i removed the bios battery and waited long …

Re: So embarrassing..what's the default bios password for this PC Chips Cheetah 486 board v1.7 motherboard?

I'm probably saying something stupid here, but since it has a normal battery why don't you just clear it? It can't be that the BIOS defaults have the password setting enabled, I've never seen that. Sadly that's the cause of my problem. The bios has some default password when you reset it. Since …

So embarrassing..what's the default bios password for this PC Chips Cheetah 486 board v1.7 motherboard?

Posted on 2017-01-19, 22:34

Embarrassing because many, many years ago i was able to find the default password of this motherboard bios online, and now i can't. Maybe the site isn't up anymore or my google skills are failing me. Can someone help? http://www.rainbow-software.org/images/hardware/cheetah_v17.jpg It has a AMI bios …
