Re: What is the pins for BF0 and BF1 for pentium socket 5?

Great! Interesting that they decided to configure the board in a way the user couldn't change the multiplier using a jumper.

Oh, and on socket 5 usually leaving the multiplier jumper open will make a S7 Pentium CPU run at 3x because BF1 is always high/open.

I also think the Voodoo 6000 has never been a priority. Rampage was the upcoming (but delayed) chip, the VSA-100 was a stop gap solution and never intended to compete in the 2000 high end market. Nvidia was simply putting out new chips too fast and 3dfx couldn't keep up. A single VSA-100 chip …

I actually tested it with a tester card. it has 3.3v am I missing something? The notches determine which signalling voltage is used. A PCI slot can be keyed for 5V signalling but still have 3.3Vcc present on the corresponting pins. A PCI card keyed for 5V signalling can require 3.3Vcc to be present …

I like the enthusiasm but starting out with a project this big you're likely going to be frustrated really soon and just abandon everything. Why not start things off with your own OPL sound card design or something similar?

I only mentioned AGP 8x because my board only accepts cards with 1.5v. I know the 5500 is basically a (very slightly) faster 5200, but comes in 128bit unlike 5200 which can be 64 or 128bit, most people don't even know what that is, and is easier to find for sale when compared to faster cards. I …

The killer nic is a crappy copy of the Intel chip with buggy drivers. I wouldn't use one if someone handed me $100 to do it. I'm fairly certain you're more knowledgeable than me regarding hardware and I agree that the product isn't worth the hassle but I do not understand how the Killer NIC (K1 or …

well the CR2032 is slightly thinner iirc. Maybe it doesn't make a good contact thus causing corruption ? In my case it didn't, but I can see that the holder is too big The numbers indicate diameter (in mm) and height (in mm*0.1). CR2032 is 0,7mm thicker than BR2325. BR2325 is 3mm larger in diameter …

AGP 8x isn't that important at those speeds but all Geforce FX 5500 cards have the NV34 chip that supports AGP 8x. I have no idea how fast it'll run with a Glide wrapper, sorry, but FX 5500 cards are really slow. I'd pass on that offer and wait for a 5200 with 128bit memory bus or an FX 5600.

if you want a "killer" nic. Look for the Intel PRO series. Both the 10/100 and gigabit series cards have a lot of features that offload work onto the card, and not the CPU. Drivers are mature and even still updated from time to time. I looked at the pro 10/100 drivers recently and the DOS drivers …

Let me also ask... I've never had a computer with the turbo button. Does it actually do anything? it says 188, and when i press it is says 88. I dont think i noticed any difference when it was pressed. Very few boards after Socket 4 support the turbo button. Sometimes you can turn it into a suspend …

Could it be the machine is overheating? Especially the voltage regulator with the little heatsink on Voodoo 3 PCI cards gets extremely hot. The case seems to have next to no airflow and cable clutter could create hot spots. Try running the system with the cover off and a fan pointed on the graphics …
