Haha, your math is fine. Luckily FSB83 is actually 83.3MHz! 😉

Okay, you have the TX97-XE running stable at 500MHz, Great!! 😀 Enjoy this nice K6-2+ system! Cheers, Jan

There´s also a "INT13" BIOS available for this board (6.201.900 from 1999) http://cwcyrix.duckdns.org/ftp-archives/ftp.fic.com.tw/motherboard/bios/socket7/pa-2005/int13/ Maybe this might help to fix the hd-size limit. I did end up updating the BIOs to 6201j900, (The INT13 One) this is what allowed …

Maybe it would be enough that there could be a bios rom that edited (patched) the bios shadow memory on every boot to include the new microcodes? @Sphere478 that is a great idea and exactly what developer “apple_rom” did with its BIOS Patcher tool.

I would start to set the K6-2+/570 at 6.0 x 75 (450MHz) at 2.1V Vcore. If this is stable, you can try 6.0 x 83 (500MHz) later on, also at 2.1V Vcore. Use these jumper settings: CPU External (BUS) Frequency: 75MHz -> FS0: 1-2, FS1: 2-3, FS2: 1-2 83MHz -> FS0: 2-3, FS1: 1-2, FS2: 1-2 CPU to BUS …

Will this work? I really wanna max out that mobo. :) https://www.ebay.com/itm/274825467551 Yes, this K6-2+/570 will work fine. And if you later want to put it in a super socket 7 board, you can easily reach 600MHz. However, in your TX97-XE board, it will be limited to 500MHz. So any K6-2+/450 or …

Thanks for the BIOS backup file. An interesting TX97-XE BIOS with a strange "MD2.33bP * ASUS TX97-XE" Revision string. Never seen that before. And the 11/06/1997 BIOS date puts it somewhere between BIOS revisions 0107 and 0108. But the BIOS looks genuine. ;) But more importantly, the Bootblock is …

@haker120: Okay, you have the patched BIOS running! :) Just to confirm you have the correct BIOS, the line above the CPU type on the bootscreen must be: #401A0-0112xe-1 - patch J.2 05/16/2002 – After switching the computer on, the first part of the BIOS that is executed is called the Bootblock.

Okay, you mean this page? https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/893#downloads That's fine. The patched 0112xe-1 BIOS there is the same as on my page. But be sure you flash the patched BIOS, because all previous versions don't support the K6-2+ CPU. 😉 Jan

Hi haker120, Yes, that K6-2+/500ACZ will be perfect! Note that when you have the K6-2/366 running, you will need to flash the BIOS with the patched 0112XEJ2 BIOS to be able to run the K6-2+ later on. Follow "The Unofficial K6-2+ / K6-III+ page" link in my signature below and download the patched …

Actualy any K6-2+ would do because they overclock quite well. And if you can get a faster one, just underclock it. ;) I heard that a supply of K6-2+/570 CPUs came on the market recently. An ideal candidate for this board. These K6-III+ CPUs are quite expensive now, so I meant to only get one if the …

The sweet spot for most socket 7 boards, and especially the Asus SP97 and TX97 series with 75/83MHz FSB and 2.0V/2.1V Vcore support, is the AMD K6-2+ CPU (A K6-III+ is only marginally faster, but if you can get one for a reasonable price, go for it!). If you can get a 450 MHz or faster rating, you …

I fully agree with @snufkin's jumper settings for this K6-2/366 at 5.5x66. You can also use 5.0x75=375MHz for a small overclock. And a K6-2/450 can run at stock speed with the 6.0x 75 setting. Back in 2002 I worked on this board and this is what was in my notes: For K6/-2/-III jumper settings, I've …

I just don’t have the drives above 120gb needed to test it on for you atm. (My understanding is the latest patch is for the larger than …

Patching for the Am5x86 Okay, now we need to decide what needs to be changed to support the Am5x86 CPU in the 1995 BIOS. Because the BIOS_uP_ID is used in multiple places during POST to make decisions depending on the CPU model, the most effective way to add Am5x86 support to a 1995 BIOS is to let …

When a match is found, these bytes are stored in CMOS registers 3Dh and 3Fh respectively, just as in the 1994 BIOS. Bits 6-0 in the …
