We’ll shoot guys, sometimes you forget the basics, I cleaned the pins in the pci edge and now I’m running PureVex atm.

I got it working again this morning but eventually you’ll see this. Attached a couple pics of current state of pins. With the way a few of the pins are smashed in I don’t see a way to improve this much more on my own.

So I got this to load once but not since. Maybe it still needs additional work on the pins.

Well, thought I had the pins seperated, maybe I do. I can’t seem to get anything running on it so far. Can anyone recommend a specific driver and the simplest test I should be able to run to confirm functionality? This is the Midas3. The hardware is detected, so a bit of a good sign.

Attempt repair? Just got a Midas 3 in the mail, unfortunately there are some bent pins on one of the IC’s. Before I attempt to power it up or send it back, should I attempt a repair or is this a lost cause?

Lol, I can see it. Do we know if Compaq Included any pack in games with the Presario it was shipped in?

If it was just a die shrink shouldn’t it run the same PowerVR games as the PCX1/2? I’m reading that several games don’t run on the Midas. I don't know for sure about the hardware aspect, but I believe the main issue for compatibility for the Midas3 is poor and undeveloped drivers. Could you not use …

Are there any comparisons between the Midas3 and PCX1? Or a games compatibility list or best games to run in a Midas3?

I got it running guys! Applied the 393 patch and started getting the black screen as mentioned. Went back into my bios and remembered I had changed the “Video Memory Cache Mode” when attempting to troubleshoot. I set this from USWC back to the default UC and viola! Booted into windows and ran …

Spotted a Macase in a documentary on YouTube, which I thought I had bookmarked, I’ll find it later. Looks like it also has an NEC Multispin and a MAG Innovision monitor.

Thanks for all the info guys, I’ll take another crack at this weekend. Sounds like I can just lower my CPU speed for some quick tests? Was running a Tualatin at 1400Mhz for most of my testing.

I can’t for the life of me finding a working driver for Win98se. I boot into windows, install the driver, restart as directed and then it freezes on the Windows 98 splash screen. I’ve tried on an Asus p3b-f and an Intel 815 motherboard with every driver here on Vogons. The 815 was eventually able to …

Here’s one I spotted on eBay several weeks back, that I don’t think has appeared here, almost pulled the trigger. Anyone here nab it?

Whats the perf gain look like between a p3 1GHz and a p4 3GHz? Surely it’s minimal?

What is the best CPU, AMD or Intel, to pair with a PCX2 based card like a Matrox M3D? At what point does the GPU bottleneck?

That worked! VRITC170.CGL needs to be in the root HiOctane folder, up and running now, thanks!

Great point, neither of the two machines I’m testing with show this info at boot. I have checked within windows for conflicts and tried several other IRQ’s with the same result. What’s interesting is if I use another Verite card it has the same behavior, like the Creative card isn’t detected or I’ve …
