considering how CPU bottlenecked it is, you ideally want a card that uses a sub 10 series driver, so I'd stick to TNT2/GF2/GF3, or a Voodoo because they have really good 3dnow support, avoid ATI as their 3dnow support was always trash I'm not sure about the graphics performance wouldn't be improve …

I've been doing some testing on a similar setup after resurrecting my 15-year old ASRock ALiveDual-eSATA2 . Both the ASRock AM2NF3-VSTA and the ALiveDual-eSATA2 use the same nForce3 250 chipset. The fortunate thing for me and the ALiveDual-eSATA2 is, it comes with both an AGP and PCI-E slot, so I …

Hi, I bought a new AM2NR3-VSTA a week ago. I updated the BIOS from version P2.10 to P3.30 using an Athlon 64 X2 2.4 GHz and 8GB DDR2 800. I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bits successfully and works properly. Next I fitted a Phenom II X4 970 3.5GHz. I didn't use any additional driver, I …

Sd ram came up to 1gb I have some I haven’t seen any but I believe at least some ss7 chipsets supported 4 dimm slots, but most only had 2-3 I have gotten 1gb working on ali aladdin v and someone else got 1.5gb working. At some point I’m going to try and get my 1gb 32 chip sticks working at 3gb on a …

There's a motherboard, ASUS P5A rev 1.06 with 1MB cache which its cache can handle 4GB of memory. I tried it with 256, 512 and 768MB, the performance improves as much memory you fit also it can handle a Geforce 7600GT AGP 8x with 256MB GDDR3. It's performance is much better than the EPOX EP-MVP3G5 …

Hi, I'm getting an old Amd K6 cpu @ 300mhz and I'm looking for a super socket 7 motherboard to put it in. It appears that some of these old mobos could only cache the first 128/256/512mb ram & beyond that performance would degrade considerably. Since win98 probably can't handle more than 256-512mb …

I'm not sure if it's a core or memory issue (looks like core because triangles were flying all over the screen, but it might be VRAM because of the familiar pattern). These situations make me seriously reconsider the hobby of collecting old crap that has the potential to die any minute. It was the …

After a few years of testing super socket 7 mobo + CPU combinations, here's my top 4 pics: No 1: Aopen AX59PRO Specifications and highlights: - ATX form factor - VIA MVP3 + 686B - up to 2MB of L2 cache - 3 SDRAM slots for up to 768mb of ram - dip switch selectable voltage and mutliplier - no …

Hi nemail, That problem about the graphic cards is normal with the old PCI motherboards when you try to use newer graphic card than the motherboard. You can find a compatibility list for this motherboard on: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=33879 ¿Could you fix the problem with the Soyo 4SAW2 …

Yes the chipset VIA694X in my ASUS P3V4X supports until 4GB of ECC memory. The specifications about ASUS P3V4X aren't completed correct because it supports memory modules of 1GB so that you can upgrade it until 4GB not 2GB as described here. The operative system can manage 3GB because it needs to …
