Search for the board on ultimateretro website, most likely you'll find the bios.

What Ram does your V3 have? With 7ns unlikely you'll hit 183mhz and still be stable.

It's always a pain when pulling out these CPUs, but have a little patience and it will eventually come out. Also, as a last resort, these two pins I told you to push …
Re: How suitable would a VIA VB7009 be for late '90s and early '00s gaming?

It's rocking a Via Chrome9 IGP if I'm correct... nothing special. Check out this video on Youtube to get an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egCNq8ypa8M
Re: NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4200 triage and repair
Posted on 2021-12-15, 10:09
I enjoyed reading how you managed to fix the card. The GF4 Ti 4200 is quite an interesting card for Win98. It has good compatibility, good performance and it can still be found for a reasonable price.

There are plenty dual Gpu cards out there (Matrox, nvidia, radeon, 3dfx, s3...etc) however, that I'm aware, only the Voodoo 5 5500 PCI would be good for your needs, as the other manufacturers made their dual Gpu cards only to be able to handle two monitors at the same time and not to be used in a " …

Re: Voodoo 3 2000, missing C95 cap
Posted on 2021-12-02, 21:41
C95 is the SMD Electrolytic cap at the top-right of the card, right at the edge? I know the V3 very well... the card will "work fine" without that cap. It's a common problem with these cards, people pull them out without paying attention and it gets snapped right away. It's a non critical cap, …

Glad I helped 😀 Don't worry about WinXP, the Banshee it's more of a Win98 type of card anyways.

Well guys, I was able to source an ATi Radeon 9600XT for $30 on ebay, should work well enough for my needs, also the slot on this one is only up to AGP 4x from the information I have seen. Excellent choice, I was about to recommend one. The R9600 Pro/XT is a well balanced price/performance card for …
Re: 3dfx with bluish image???
Posted on 2021-11-02, 20:34
The card looks visually OK (at least what I can tell), try spraying the inside of the VGA connector with some contact cleaner (de-oxid) and then stick back and forth the VGA cable inside and out a few times, then retry.

IMO it's just better to leave the card running at 225Mhz instead of modding the board...

Most likely ram corruption, probably one of the ram chips has gone bad. BTW, are you running the card without a heatsink?

I had a similar issue with 3Dmark2001 when using a Matrox G400 MAX. I solved it by updating to the latest drivers. I recommend using 3Dmark2000 instead, IMO it's better and less buggy than 3Dmark2001, and gives a better and faster way of knowing if the card is glitching or not. Usually you can tell …
