Re: K6-III+ Rig, Ready for battle :)

I am going on to troubleshoot my mainboard. Reinstalled Windows XP, it gives me more flexibility, but kept SP2 and a pair of .net updates (1.1 and 2.0). I changed the sticks of ram and used two pc133 cas2 instead of cas3 (all kits are from Infineon). With cas2 sticks it seems far more stable. I can …

Re: K6-III+ Rig, Ready for battle :)

Ok update. My friend recapped the board, even put some tantalium capacitors on key positions…. AGP isn’t working anymore…. Everything is fine but 3D apps just crash. This on XP. Funny thing is that it happens with PCI gpus also. Installed win98SE and from dxdiag I am not able to see 3d acceleration …

Re: AMD K6 3DMARK, aiming for stars.

okay interesting, I had recalled incorrectly that the agp generations upped the frequency from 66 mhz to 133, that isn't the case. according to my google-fu the clock stayed at 66 mhz all the way to 8x but they did the whole DDR thing with it transmitting 2x, 4x, 8x per clock cycle. So my idea of …

Anyway, I see the same symptoms using a PCI card, so probably I really messed up the OS with all unwanted updates …

Re: AMD K6 3DMARK, aiming for stars.

The Medion R9600 TX is an exception. PCI was at 53MHz during tuning, AGP was also very high. The 9800Pro really couldn't handle this. 225621_lmirhh4x7kp9tddi_medion9600tx.jpg 225621_nphqm8xwg71mrjrg_1kkepv2sli.jpg 225621_qgbhh7wfy2ivkgud_p4v2sli_6.jpg Never heard of a 9600 capable of 3.3v Anyway, I …

Re: AMD K6 3DMARK, aiming for stars.

Maybe a radeon 9800 pro might be able to handle that agp port? Ati cards are known to be unstable with agp over 66mhz. The Medion R9600 TX is an exception. PCI was at 53MHz during tuning, AGP was also very high. The 9800Pro really couldn't handle this. 225621_lmirhh4x7kp9tddi_medion9600tx.jpg …
