Re: rom / bios needed for ati mach64 vlb

I think maybe because manufacturers treat ROM dumps differently from drivers. They release the drivers to the public freely,not so much the ROMs. That was the reason why so many Apple II clone manufacturers were put out of business, for copying Apple's proprietary ROMs. If it was up to you nothing …

I can upload the drivers, I'll be glad to help. It comes with a floppy and a CD, do you want both? And I'm from Belgium actually. Yes, we want the whole package. Also please scan the floppy and CD so we have pictures of the design :) I try to do that on all my uploads like these two: CD: http:// …

Guess the (retro)motherboard getting blown up in the new 24 season
Posted on 2014-05-06, 23:13
I had to laugh when I saw this. Clearly an older computer with only PCI & PCI-X slots and what looks to be dual Xeons around 2002-2004 (Could be Dual FC-PGA or Tualatins!). I can't identify the motherboard, but we're to believe this system ran really high-tech stuff on the monitors and it was used …

Re: Socket 5 & 7 Motherboard VGA Benchmark comparison
Posted on 2014-05-06, 14:46
vetz, I just contributed benchmark results for all my Socket 5/7 motherboards to both your and Phil's benchmark. I wonder why no one else is interested enough to run a couple of tests. Thanks! I sorted the results and the two HX boards are barely still on top :) Your results seems pretty consistent …
Re: Any software to check Windows version with cd key?
Posted on 2014-05-05, 16:32
Why do you have a CD key without a disc? It is possible he has the key and not the disc. I have several keys for Windows NT 4.0 laying at home. I got them from my uncle's workplace. Just the "Microsoft Certificate of Authencity" with the CD key, no CD. My guess is that they threw the CD's away at …

Received my Pentium Overdrive PODP5V133 for Socket 4 today. Benched it and published the results. It performs like a very fast Pentium 100 in a Socket 7 system on my Intel Premiere/PCI Socket 4 board. The results for the same system with a Pentium 66 is already in there. The CPU was missing a piece …

The screenshot Artex posted is from newer drivers. Mau1wurf1977 is using older drivers which just shows the memory of one card, even if SLI is enabled. So 4MB framebuffer + 8MB texture. Divide those numbers by two, sum them up and you get 24. See this thread: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php …

Is the pipeline burst cache in the 430FX responsible for the socket 7 clobbering its same-chipset, socket 5, older brother? Do you have any motherboards which allow for asynchronous SRAM and a PB COAST module on the same board? It would be interesting to see the changes with these benchmarks. Was …
Socket 5 & 7 Motherboard VGA Benchmark comparison
Posted on 2014-05-04, 22:38
Introduction Inspired by Phil's VGA Benchmark I've started on this motherboard benchmark comparison. The main purpose is to show how the different chipsets and motherboards perform with a Pentium 100. Earlier there has been a misunderstanding that a Pentium performs equal in Socket 5 & 7 boards, …

I might have found another game supporting the Rendition Verite through its API. Check out this back cover scan of DSF Ski '99: Extreme Edition (known as Ski Racing: Extreme Edition) by Sierra. It clearly explicitly only lists 3dfx and Rendition as supported cards. Unlikely then that it's using D3D …

Just in case someone googles this: There is a driver bug in the Matrix drivers that can cause issues with Voodoo 2 systems. What happens is that when you want to view the display properties the machine comes to a crawl. I've seen this on two systems, one was a Slot 1 BX 440 machine and now use …
