I tried an FX5200 on my 440BX board once, and it gave lockups while running 3dmark2001. Maybe it does better on another mobo. As far as I know the FX5xxx series are the last one that fit on the AGP 2x slot of a 440BX, as the 6 series require AGP 4x. The FX5200 is all features, but no speed. The …

TNT2's are pretty good cards. You could also go with a Geforce2 GTS like I had mentioned before. Even the MX versions aren't too bad. I suppose you could go with a Radeon too.. but speaking from experience a 7000 isn't far off the voodoo's.. aside from 32bit color. If it was me, I would go with …

You must be reffering to the ATi Rage Fury MAXX. They used AFR, or Alternate Frame Rendering; it was their answer to 3Dfx's SLI. AFAIK it worked okay, although its pretty much worhtless unless your running 98 since the design of the NT kernal simply won't allow you to access both GPU's on the AGP …

Is there any potential problems using 2 Voodoo2 based cards from different manufactures in SLI?

Interesting gerwin, quite a difference in performance using different chipsets...old 440BX on top, I guess the 440BX is a bit of a legend 😀

There is a reason to go RAMBUS on the PIII. From what I recall back then if you wanted 133MHz FSB with an intel chipset, you pretty much had to use the i820 or i840. The i815 which came out later was gimped because you couldn't upgrade beyond 512mb. i840 can go to 2GB. Ironically, the 440BX offered …

[no dual processors in windows 9x.. Noted thanks.] The processor is Slot-1 (not Slot-A) The mainboard is a bit of an odd choice, as I would expect an 440BX chipset instead of an apollo 133A. The main 133A features are proper 133MHz bus support, instead of 100MHz, AGP 4x support, and UDMA 66 disk …

The hardware: CPU: Pentium III Slot A, 667MHz/256kb (acquired) WAT :p The PIII's where the fastest CPU's available in 99' I'm aiming for a certain time frame.

If you could spare a SLI cable I would appreciate it, postage costs would be reimbursed through PayPal if necessary.

That's what I was wondering if a standard cable could be used such as a floppy one. I think it's crazy how "twists" in cables (even) with plastic coating can effect the internal current! then you wonder how people get cancer... Anyone have anymore information on the SLI cable? Suggestions for …
