Re: Win98 chipset drivers on modern hardware?

I'm not sure.. I just fired it's crippled a** up and didn't see an option in the BIOS for it, however I don't believe that my E2160 supports it either.

I have a recently got my hands an an Asrock 775i65g and it rocks!!!!! I was using as my main system until it's hard drive went kuput. VERY capable. I put an E2610 in it, which is an Allendale based C2D, and by increasing the FSB to 260mhz took it from 1.8 to 2.4ghz virtually painless. The board …

Don't mess with the AGP voltage if the AGP bus is running at nominal speeds (66mhz), and even then it may not be necessary .What your doing at this it just changing the cards internal speed, and not the speed of the interface.

With the corrupted screen in PCPbench thats normal, I had the same problems when I ran my tests. Just a quirk of the program. I do remember that the V5 exhibited the least amounts of flickering. Sill getting the test setup toether, should be done tonight.

Cool, I'll get my Voodoo going tonight and I'll do the same, even though your board is slightly different I don't expect there to be much difference, at least when it comes to the main chipset and the way it is initialized/programmed. I was also thinking there could be differences in the way the …

I did my test using speedsys. It's okay though, when I first read your post and tested it with mine, I was wondering how you got such a small result lol. Since I don't have a comparable card to test with, the PCP scores don't directly compare. If you have a Voodoo 5 AGP I can test mine and then …

How many times did you run those tests to find a mean score? If their one-shots I suppose the variation could be within a margin of error. If I clock my Barton (T-Bred with double cache) at 1466mhz it gets a speedsys result of 1712. Maybe you could do that and compare the results. I know that T- …

That video was tight!!!! The boot up on that thing did take a while but afterwords to was really snappy, using the era software. It seems like if you allowed the hard disk to automatically spin-up it would save at least a few seconds.

All this is really interesting. KUDOS to swaaye for getting so many different micro-architectures running at the same speed. I think the biggest shock to myself was how well that PPro 1MB held it's ground against everything else. Looks like it led the Quake2 numbers, even if the synthetic benches …

That board is an absolute bastard. Must be pretty rare. You said something about an interleaved memory sub-system, dose that mean there is a dual channel function? Or is it still 32-bits all the way across. I haven't really heard much of Socket 4.. but I'm guessing the main goal of the design was to …

I had a 2.6ghz/400fsb P4 on a sis based motherboard. It was almost identical in performance with my 2200+ rated Athlon. Maybe your will do better with the intel chipset.

You still get an A for effort... if he is too lazy to search himself it's not likey he'll follow a link either.

Re: P3 Tualatin vs. P4

A main short coming with Netburst is the length of the pipeline. Modern processors use a technique called branch prediction to run efficiently. However, the longer pipeline of the P4 (more than 20 compared to 13 with the P3) means there is a much higher penalty when the algorithm fails. Intel …

That's pretty cool! I'd claim the CPU in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the fact I wouldn't use it it to much. Still it would be really awesome to have and play around with 😀
Re: Epox EP-8KTA3Pro - where to get latest BIOS?

I think that the BIOS dated 17.06.2002 will work best for you, since it seems that the others are used for updating the RAID controller.

I realized after a while that you had used Quake for your benchmark numbers, and mine had came from the PCPBench program.
