Here is the error I get from Doom 2. Note that for that I disabled ESS by editing autoexec.bat (the ESSCFG and SET BLASTER lines). So I don't have any other devices and IRQs are only occupied by integrated parts at this point. You can try using the DOS32A DOS extender instead of DOS/4GW. http:// …

Anyone who knows a piece of software that disables L1 cache on a Pentium 4, I only get L2 disabled? I want to test a Northwood @1.2GHz. 😀

I'm pretty sure the HD4xxx series cards have a newer generation of H.264 support and I think it's even supported in newer versions of VLC Player. It might also accelerate Flash video (which I suppose is dying in usefulness now). HD3850 might also, but not sure about that one. The HD4xxx series …

Ah I knew it was something in the 4000 series. I think the 3850 would edge out the 4670 definitely , although in todays games and apps they'd be pretty much the same as you said. Here's some results of 4670 PCIe vs. 3850 PCIe, as you can see the 4670 often outruns the 3850 and sometimes even the …

@Kamerat I am little wondering about your values 3DBench & DOOM with T-Bird & GeforceFX5500. Should not be the FX5500 as strong as my GF2MX-400 or even little stronger? When i look at the specs on wiki, the FX5500 has even with 64bit DDR a 20% higher memory bandwidth like a stock GF2MX400. Also the …

No problem. 😀 If there's any interest I can benchmark at other speeds too, the CPU runs up to about 1.47GHz (1.33 is stock). The motherboard also got an option for 5x multiplier but the system refuses to boot with it.

Maybe it's a way for the motherboard to boot with the right FSB as the i865G chipset doesn't support 1066MHz officially?

I don't know about the Socket 939 version, but on my version, the chipset has a RAM limit of 3.3GB. You can put 4GB on the board and it sees 4GB in the BIOS, but when you're booting up during the RAM test is tells you "3380MB available". Doesn't matter if you use a 64-bit OS. Very flexible board. …
