Geforce2 MX 200 is at least three times faster than a tweaked SiS 630 (same graphic core as 730) in 3DMark2001 with a Pentium III 866. I guess a faster CPU makes an even bigger difference. GeForce2 MX 200 result: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=33459&start=40#p281515 SiS 630 result: …

Much slower, it's very handicapped by low memory bandwith of the 64bit SDRAM it have to share with the CPU.

Just passed my Audigy 2 ZS to a FreeDOS 1.1 guest and it's working fine with Mpxplay. I'm running VMware ESXI 5.0. Passing through a VGA-card is a different story as I can't disable VMware's VGA-adapter, maybe KVM or XEN allows passing a physical VGA adapter to a DOS guest. AMD/ATI cards works in …

I found that my K7M will not POST if either of 2 old keyboards are connected. One was a model M, the other from a 386-era Wang. This nearly made me decide the board was bad. Luckily I just happened to try it when there was no keyboard connected, and then it POSTed immediately. It boots fine with a …

377 3D Mark points! I'm guessing this was just a test and that you normally use a graphics card as opposed to the onboard graphics? It's an Asus Terminator Tualatin barebone and I'm not using this system much. The motherboard lacks AGP slot and the fastest PCI graphics I got is a 3dfx Banshee (I …

Are you sure it's a Coppermine PIII? I've never heard about slot 1 or socket 370 450MHz Coppermines. If you gonna run 133MHz FSB make sure your RAM can hadle 133MHz and your graphic card can handle 89MHz AGP, I don't think the ATi Rage Pro Turbo AGP can handle 89MHz.

At least the Asus P4P800 does support them: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/list.aspx? … en&m=p4p800&p=1 With a beta BIOS and the CT479 adapter you can even use Banias and Dothan CPUs. 😈
