Here is how to make a Slot-1 133MHz FSB Speed Pentium III EB work with the SR440BX, although it won't be running at 133MHz FSB. Remove the resistor R19 on the slot-1 card, because otherwise the mainbaord will ground it through Pin A14. Then connect it to a 3,3V source at R18. http://thumbnails19. …

I've tried with 4mb PCI and a 6mb AGP card. There's such a thing as a 6mb Rage? I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that. The only machines I have ever heard of that had Rage graphics that could have 6mb were PowerMac G3's and that was through the VRAM slot on the motherboard and they weren't AGP. …

The thing that I really hate is when people neglect to tell you that the thing you ordered was owned by a smoker then it arrives at your house reeking of smoke even before you take it out of the package. Sellers should be required to disclose that when they list an item for sale. Well, aint that a …

I think 30fps is perfectly acceptable for gaming (would prefer not to go below that though). A modern PC game with low/medium detail settings is still going to look better than it's console counterparts :wink: *shudder* At least a constant 60fps is what I' after. Now what is real bummer: Modern …

October 2001 is quite a time after DirectX 8's release. It'll inform you to update DirectX when you run the driver setup. I'm sure it was DX8, or DX7, one of the two. I know it's technically a DX6 card, but drivers get updated to support compliance with later APIs. Voodoo2 wasn't a DirectX7 card …

I have heard that Splinter Cell (and Pandora) have issues with lightning and shadows on newer cards. Might be worth checking out? Something to do with the Xbox console having a FX based video chip. XBox does not use GeForce FX it uses nVidia nv2A which is derived from GeForce3 but with an …

Dinotopia is another. The only General Midi driver it provides is for AWE. It seems to use the Miles sound system though, so perhaps one can swap in alternate drivers. Not that worried about Magic Carpet, it provides support for GM and GUS sound. Eradicator's AWE support is something I'd like to …

It doesn't say anything in the release notes about installing any specific version of DX before installing the driver so I don't know where that comes from. How did they install the drivers for the Rage 128 Pro before DX8 was released?

PC150 is strictly for overclocking. There is no official 150fsb standard. It is probably cherry picked PC133 RAM that sold for higher prices. It might be rare since only serious gamers who wanted every last ounce of performance would have paid the premium for it, for everyone else PC133 would have …
