Re: Collecting rants

I sure wish Ebay would be more strict about who lists what when it comes to categories. Why do I have to wade through a sea of PCIe video cards when I entered PCI in the search? Because PCIe has PCI in it. Just limit the search with some - terms. I see no place to do that here. If there is a better …

Looks as though there's an older version than what you're trying now on this page: In search of Win98 Catalyst 4.X and 5.X Good luck.

So far, so good! No bugs, I decided to use the 07/16/1999 BIOS that introduced the PIII Microcode stuff in the first place and it seems to be going well. Also, I just went with searching the motherboard name and all that, probably isn't the best way of doing it lol. It seriously seemed like it was …

I think a Lin Lin socket adapter would work here, but I just did a quick search, and it seems they're very difficult to find. Slocket adapters are cheap, so one of those would be a good source of a donor socket if you want to try that.

If you still have the bits, J.B. Weld epoxy (the original, not the fast dry) would be worth a try.

It sounds to me as though you have a resource conflict. I would disable anything not being used - serial ports, parallel port, unused IDE port(s) and see if that solves it.

Re: Did anyone Upgrade the cache on a Super Socket7 board?

I've been playing with my fastest ever Socket 7 setup: a Soyo 5EMA+, a K6-2+ 550 (currently at 5x124) 256 megs of PC133, a Radeon 9200, and a Sound Blaster 16 CT4170. The onboard cache won't work at 124 MHz, and has to be disabled. Whatever advantage it may give at lower bus speeds is more than made …

What's the procedure to keep 3d Mark 99 Max running when you upgrade Direct X to 8 or nine? I have little experience with 99, it should still work if you install DX8 I would think. So here's what discovered; if you install 3D Mark 99 when you have Direct X 7, it works with no problem even if you …

Yes, that's the one. Now that I have the proper adapter, I can see that the one I have is working well, and I got a score of 2,108 on 3D Mark 2000, and a score of 2,355 on 3D Mark 99 Max. System is an Asus TXP4 K6-2+ 500 @ 500, 256 megabytes of SDRAM, Windows 98SE, Quadro NVS 280, and a Sound …

Did the system boot up (maybe with windows start sound)? Witch OS do you use (i have win98Se installed)? The nvs 280 seems to be a FX5200 for professional working like Cad on two monitors at the same time. I put the Matrox G200 back in, and was able to install the Nvidia card using the 56.64 driver …

If the card is faster like the Ati 7000-9000 series it doesn't matter either. A GF2 or 4 would be great but finding one (for example Ebay) is very difficult and the price is very high. I am looking for one witch does not cost more than 30€ (and we don't know if the card is broken) . That's why I …
