this is what I get with PCI tool on the P2B + 8400GS I presume you ran the tool without any display, probably by loading the command in autoexec.bat or am I missing something? Since the 8400GS PCI and the onboard PCI bridge are not in the list, 1) Can you post the snapshot of IO, Memory & IRQ pages …

also nforce 2 at 400fsb or more would get really hot, even the southbridge could get a little to warm... active cooling was a good thing, I had to mod my 8rda+ to add cooling, when going for high FSBs OC I had the Shuttle AN35N Ultra. It came with only passive cooling on the nForce2 Ultra 400 chip. …

the p4 is going to be faster, I mean, the core might not be much faster (but it's northwood, so it should be) but the memory/fsb is way faster as far as I know (quad rate fsb, DDR support)... if you want to use an AGP 3.3V (like the V5 5500) card I think it will be easier to find the appropriate …

the NF7-S 2.0 I had was amazing, no single problem, great for OC, good features... the Epox 8rda+ I had ended up having bad capacitors, and was not as good as the nf7-s anyway, the A7N8X I've onwed was less stable, and had onboard audio problems, the msi nf2 (can't remember the name) was also not so …
Re: Do slow Willamette and Nortwood CPUs work in S478 i865 chipset boards?

northwoold 1.6 was a champ, people would run this things at 2.6-2.8GHz Willamette, well... I would rather have Tualatin or Northwood and skip that 😀

I would go with: VIA chipset board Sempron CPU (I believe they replaced the Athlon XP) Radeon 9800 or X800 card or GT6600 AGP Audigy / Audigy 2/4 Windows XP But personally I prefer a P4 system. But if I had to go AMD, it would be something along the lines of the above. Sempron was released later …

I think l2 cache is not a factor here, you have to consider the cache on the k8 sempron is probably faster than the cache on the tualatin, and the rest, the core, the memory controller (FSB 150 external vs ondie controller, SDR150 vs DDR450) and so on... so I can only think the problem (8400GS …

yes, I tried a fixed value, increase / decrease in real time, auto with increase and decrease the percentage, but it never gives me the desired effect, if I go to slow (and the game goes above 100% processor occupancy) it slows the time, but the game also works badly, while under 100% (which is the …

So I've been trying to play Grand Prix 2 on my main windows 8 PC, with Dosbox 0.74 I can set SVGA, maximum settings and framerate, it seems to run smoothly, processor occupancy is normally bellow 100% (in game press O), but, the game is rendered at a faster time than it should for some reason (1s in …

@SPBHM, would you be able to run the expendable timedemo with your default settings as well as underclocking to 800 MHz to have a proper comparison. Interesting result here, I've used the Demo version Just to make sure, my settings were default, only changed from 16 to 32bit so: Launcher 640x480 32 …

since he is running the P3 at FSB 151 I would expect the PCI clock to also be overclocked, around 37MHz? should help a little, also the 9250 is an AGP GPU I guess, so no need for bridge chips and so on... my 3d03 CPU result is probably limited by the PCI bus, if you consider a 8400GS would not cause …
