Get PCI video card and reflash it again. I had one of those cheap Rage pro 8mb PCI cards sold on ebay and I must have added the flash all ATI cards modifier and it killed it too. And I didn't save the bios before I flashed because I was having problems with the Flashrom syntax. Now all I have is a …

Yeah, my thoughts exactly! All parts that were ordered have arrived now except the case. Now begins the search for a good soundcard. I want positional audio, I remeber the joy of Need for Speed 5 with EAX. Does anyone know if NFS games support Aureal Audio as well, or is it just EAX? Anyway, …

Ordered a few new parts. Case: I like how modern ITX cases have multiple slots for big GPU's, it lets you run a graphics card and sound card in a little tiny package. I did the same thing with a 945 chipset in an ITX case with a 7950gt and an Audigy. I expected a few issues at the retro LAN party I …

Didn't Geforce 3 and the Radeon 8500 have fixed function T&L units as well as vertex shaders? That would be quite redundant. A Techreport article refutes the Geforce 3 having it but says the Radeon 8500 did. Vertex shader — As in the GeForce3, the vertex shader replaces the old fixed-function …

Many HW TnL engine before the consumer revolution were actually embedded CPU(s) dedicated to the task to offload the main CPU It was common for i960, DSP or the Sony design (PS2 Vector Units).

1003 is likely the first official BIOS, anything before 1003 isnt official but more of a beta version, its pretty cool yours was a 1001 release happy you can restore its original version. I think you're right it would be cool to just stay with the 1001 so it's all original. You saved this board for …

Was assuming you wanted try something older than v1003 originally linked by Trashbytes? Anyway, correct syntax is afudos /iK8VB1003.AMI Thank you! I was just confused because ASUS listed 1003 as the first bios. After grabbing Filezilla I can see now that your site has the 1001 bios, I'll go ahead …

It's a K8V non deluxe revision 1.12 but I can't find the corresponding ASUS support page to flash an older bios. This board has the zero bytes AGP memory buy in 3dmark2o01 and slow 3d performance in windows 98.

I really want to see a FPGA based ISA video card with lot's of VRAM, 3D acceleration and sound acceleration. I'm pretty sure games like Doom could run at full speed even on a slow 386 with such card. Most of the CPU time is wasted on texture mapping and scaling, which can be accelerated quite …
