Mendocino Celeron/440BX System

Posted on 2019-12-02, 03:54

EDIT - This is now a Celeron based build, P3 processors aren't working in this board at all. I skipped over the slot 1 stuff back when it was new, went straight from Socket 7 to Socket 370 so I think this could be a fun little project. Planned Specs: Intel Pentium 3 500mhz Slot 1 "Katmai" version …

More complete test run at stock (vs OP at stock) Aquamark 3 - 38476 3dmark 2000 - 20451 3dmark 2001 - 17476 3dmark 2003 - 5428 3dmark 2005 - 1026 3dmark 2006 - 293 (had to place an extra 1gig ram IN, so I lose dual channel ram) Very good! These are my most up to date benchmark results, using driver …

If you edit the .inf it'll run. The 45.23 driver supports the FX5900 and the FX5900XT uses the same NV35 chip. extract the drivers, open nv4_disp.inf in notepad and add... this line under [Manufacturer] %NVIDIA_NV35.DEV_0332.1% = nv4_NV3x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0332 and this line under [Strings] NVIDIA_ …

I'd give 45.23 a try. So I downloaded that version and it doesn't support this model, the readme shows FX5800 and FX5800 Ultra as supported. The oldest version that I can find that supports the 5900XT is 56.64, so I'm going to run some benches with that version. I'll add the results to the first …

Half Life 2 will run great as long as you run in the default DirectX 8.1 mode it uses for the FX series. It looks pretty good. I'm not sure what's entirely missing, but you will notice some blockyness in some effects. Far Cry runs pretty well too. I think it uses a special FX rendering path with …

I'd give 45.23 a try. Unless you want to play DirectX 9 games on that card. The drivers after that were mostly about speed optimizations (read: image quality dropped) and desperation to be competitive in early DirectX 9 games before GeForce 6 was ready. I mean you can run any drivers you like and …

I haven't really had a chance to do a full set of benchmarks on my Athlon 64-3800+, but I did throw 3dMark2001 at it (also using a FX5900XT card) Video card stock - 17219 Overclocked video card (475 core/825 memory) - 18875 Just loving this build :) Although, if you feel I'm derailing your thread, …

I would skip 3Dmark and test games you care about if possible. Plus those drivers are way newer than the FX series. Differences will probably be almost margin of error unless you find a new game they actually cared to tweak/fix up for the old FX cards. 3DMark 06 would fit in that category I suppose …

93.71 please. Also, you are quite CPU limited on 2000 and 01 SE tests. Downloading now! EDIT - Tests are done, results are in the first post. 3dmark06 runs fine now which is nice. I might stick with the 93.71 drivers long term. EDIT 2 - HOMM2 looks nice and sharp still with these newer drivers, the …

Geforce FX5900XT - XP Driver Comparison

I've been using Forceware version 175.19 but I've seen here and there online that some cards perform better with older drivers so I'm doing some testing today with version 71.89. Anyway here's some benchmark results: Computer specs: Intel Pentium 4 3.4ghz (Northwood) Asus P4C800-E Deluxe 3gb DDR400 …

how loud is that GPU fan? Very quiet, the CPU and case fans are both louder. EDIT - There's some noise measurements in that madshrimps article I linked in my first post, here is the page - http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/article/287/Arctic-Cooling-NV-Silencer-3-Review-Shushing-the-FX5900XT/1# …

Some pics of the machine now that it's complete. I added a few things to it recently including a P4 HT sticker, a zalman fan controller (to dial the speed down a bit on the case fan), an el-cheapo wireless card from eBay and a rosewill card reader.

Picked up a nice used case on Kijiji a few days ago, came with an LG brand DVD-RW drive that works. Also the FX5900XT finally arrived and the artic cooler is installed and working nicely. I'll take some pics and post them tomorrow, I'm quite happy with this build now though. Benchmarks: Aquamark 3 - …
