does not work, both utilities are unable to change Multipler on Windows. CrystalCPUid just freezes the System. Seems i will have to modify the BIOS to get the CPU correctly. I have more 3DMarks on 800Mhz with Athlon Mobile auto detected then with 13.5x133 @ 1.8Ghz. There must be a Reason for this. …

What is the first Driver from NVIDIA who uses SSE Optimization ? No Wonder, you`r CPU is too slow for TNT 😁 and you`re using crippled TNT2 😀 The V3 has full Memory Bus, where the TNT is cut down. To be Fair you have to Bench at least TNT2 Pro. Even a V2 will give TNT2 M64 a hard time.

The PCX1 has no filtering, but PCX2 does Bilinear. Maybe you had PCX1 Card ? The Card makes almost no sense if you don`t have at least a PII 300. Or you`re sticking to SGL Games only. At least you have MMX, which will help with some Titles. But to be honest, the WinChip has only a 486 Style FPU :-) …

the Same Machine is next to me, same Motherboard etc. I`m now right into Athlon XP Mobility Fun because it runs too hot with XP Classic 😁 I also was curious about finding a Working Shuttle Machine. Usually they already Dead. Maybe i should replace all caps before this will happen.

I can setup Manual Mode, and set 13.5x 133 but then CPU is found as Unknown, and it seems Caches are not enabled right. Is there a way to …

Shuttle Mini PC with NForce2 Chipset and 2Gb RAM: was quiet challenging get this bugger stable. It only has 200W Power Supply, with the Original 2800 Athlon XP drawing 1,65V (65W TDP) it was not possible getting it stable with the HD3450 installed. So i replaced the CPU with a Athlon XP-M (45W, 1, …

Congratulation, weakest FPU for a 3D Accelrator that needs a Strong FPU 😁 Tomb Raider is maybe the only Game that will run fluid on that Setup with PCX2 😁

Like here: PPJoySetup.zip or using sneskey dos or sneskey 9x. It maps keyboard keys to joystick. Dream Blaster also did a Adapter: https://www.serdashop.com/GAMEPADLPT it works very well i own actual 4 Variants of LPT Adapters.

You also could hook up 9 Pin Joystick Port to LPT 😀 Adding a additional Header and few Diodes, here you go. As Covox is using only one Port, the other free pins can serve Digital Joystick.

The Chips he used on the Bus Interface look same like on Radeon 7000 PCI which in Fact is a AGP Card with some Converters on it. Also a new Card with 1 VSA and less cost would suffice, i rather would prefer Digital Output, instead of SLI. 1 VSA should be enough for all Glide Titles 😀

1% does not sound bad at all, at least if all are from the same batch. It's more about the tolerance among all of them. Is your Pin Header compatible with CD-Audio In ? 😀
