Whoops, my bad. It is Gl960. But the question still remains: why it BSOD's with bellow 3GB? The 2GB stick is the closest to mainboard and the 512MB stick, which is a know good one, is in the top slot. Ill try borrowing an 1GB stick form my laptops and see if that changes. 2x 1GB DDR2 667/800 is …

The problem is the chipset. The GL960 chipset (the GM965 does not have this problem and can handle 2x 2GB RAM, the T61 fore xample has this better chipset) of the R61 officially only supports max. 2GB RAM in dual channel (2x 1GB). Unofficially, however, 2GB+1GB in dual channel = 3GB also run without …

Voodoo3 is good choice, but it has 16 bit only Voodoo 4 4500 (Voodoo 5 is overkill for this build), the best 3dfx option for a SS7 build. 32-bit colour in 3D, texture compression, 32MB memory and support for 2048x2048 textures. NFS Porsche for example looks better with more detailes textures on a …

Very nice! I have the 8MB WRAM version of the Millenium II PCI. Maybe this can improve the performance, compared to the 4MB version? 16MB should be the max. for the Millenium II. It looks like the Mystique 220 4MB is a better choice for games: https://vintage3d.org/mga2.php

All P60 cpus that I have tested worked at 66mhz without a voltage raise(no matter if the VRM section was installed or not). Thanks for the info! So the yield quality was not so bad for the P5 core. Maybe the very eralier ones with the FDIV Bug need more voltage with 66MHz, because it was reported …

Most of the P60 should also run well with 66MHz? Default VCore of the 66MHz version is 5.15V and 5.00V for the 60MHz Pentium. Also the Socket 4 mainboard must support the overvoltage settings.

I think all P120s use 0.35 for the core but other parts use the old package 0.6um. I have an SX994 early C2 stepping, 1995 week 25. It overclocks to 166mhz, on default STD 3.3V, not even using VRE 3.45V. I haven't tried higher yet but I doubt it would work at 166 if it was 0.6um. Which means, that …

cB1 and cC has the new 350 nm process (3,3V). B5, C2 and E0 is the 600 nm process. Pentium 120 with 600 nm has a TDP of 12.81W, the 350 nm version has a TDP of 10,2W.

However, it appears that no cache latency settings are stable at this speed. Setting latency to 6, 7 or 8 (default seems to be 5) allows the Windows desktop to load but crashes shortly after starting 3DMark 2000. Setting latency to 9 or above appears to disable L2 cache entirely, with CPU-Z …

Maybe, it will need more juice. Try it on motherboard that can raise voltage to 2.2v or 2.3v. Maybe at that voltage, it will run 450 Mhz. Only the CPU core runs with 2.0V stock on the Pentium II Deschutes and PIII Katmai (2.8V for the PII Klamath) , the external L2 cache runs with 3.3V, so rasing …

I found this info in another forum: Under D3D, the Rush has no problems with fast CPUs. It crashes under Glide. Perhaps there are problems with the SSE instruction set. But I also suspect the image memory, which causes the card to freeze sooner or later depending on its clock rate. Maybe it's also a …

That's a shame. L2 cache definitely seems to be the limiting factor. My CPUs will run happily at 450MHz (4.5 x 100) with L2 disabled in BIOS, although they don't get past the POST screen at any 500MHz configuration (5 x 100, 4.5 x 112 or 4 x 124). You could try out the tool "WCPUL2CacheLatency". …
