Yes it was all done through MODBIN. I have attached my BIOS. I am going to try the BIOS patcher 6a9 on it. I didn't see where 4.51b had more features than 6a9. What I meant was that I tried it in both, and when I ran it in 4.51b, it mentioned modifications to the multiplier selections in the result …

i have an athlon xp palomino 1700, 1900, 2000, 2100 and they all worked fine with my iwill kk266+. bios update gets the higher ones recognized correctly, but they all posted even before that. maybe you have the earlier kk266 non-plus revision? i think they are green vs yellow. Sorry, I meant …

That's awesome mockingbird. I also modified the 0826 BIOS for myself. What is the BIOS patcher 6a9? Thanks. Which mods did you do and can you share it? BP is commonly used here on older Award BIOS. You run the program, it updates microcodes and implements some standard fixes from back in the day. …

I just completed a successful re-cap of a KK266+ today. I actually re-capped one that was probably from the same seller you mention months ago, but that board had a different fault so I had to scrap it. The first board he sent me was a revision 2.0 KK266+R, this time I got the vanilla KK266+ …

That said, an AthlonXP with an unlocked multiplier (like my Thoroughbred B ) paired with SetMul (for disabling L1 cache) and Throttle can easily go down to 386, 486 and early Pentium speeds. I still occasionally use the DOS mode of Win98SE on that system and it works reasonably well. Wait a moment, …

Another report of bad times... Windows 98 FAT32 partition type is "FAT32 LBA". Each partition type has a different equivalent hex value. Connect your drive to a later Windows PC and run AOMEI partition manager, then edit the partition properties and it will show you what it's set at. Maybe Dos 6.22 …

...plus installing an unofficial DX9 version and/or that craptastic Unofficial Service Pack for Win98. That's perfectly understandable... Just a correction about the 'unofficial' DX9 installer for 98... The only thing 'unofficial' about it is that it includes the later files up to August 2007, …

I don't own Flatout 2, so I can't test it. For the record, I played several GPU intensive games on that system (link in signature) including the original Splinter Cell, Gothic 1 and Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force. No issues with any of them. Splinter Cell using the highest possible graphical …

Next issue is that the KT7A has some compatibility issues with GeForce3 and GeForce4 cards... Looks like that was fixed with Geforce FX and later series. I currently have a KT7A revision 1.0 running just fine with a GeForce4 Ti4200. Back in he day, I used a GeForce3 Ti200 on that motherboard for …

In FlatOut2 it's crashing in minutes or when idling in desktop. I just tested FlatOut2 for you. You need to be patched to 1.2 version... 1.0 crashes to desktop after a few minutes with no errors. With 1.2, I finished the desert oil field map in single race mode without any problems, and that must …

I'm getting fog rendering with the retail CD version of Thief2 + patch 1.18 on my 9600GT using 285.58 drivers under WinXP. It doesn't look exactly the same as on older cards, but it still works. This is with default driver settings, no extra tweaks applied. The 16-bit color dithering on that setup …

I don't know what OS and hardware you're running on, but it's my opinion, after having done very extensive testing with NVIDIA cards, that any driver after 56.64 is not worth the trouble on Windows 9x/ME systems. These drivers have serious bugs in games and on some hardware will cause severe system …
