Well, I tried, but no help. Can you suggest the "relevant" ones? I tried: - increasing PCI latency to 96 (default it 32, but with the overclock, I need for SuperPi 32M stability go to 42 :( But I get best P90 result ever: http://hwbot.org/submission/2978646_ ) - no change - increasing the error …

Good news! I get from friend a ATI Rage XL PCI card. A old, 8MB videoram suxxka, but even in VGA mode it offer 1024x768...! So now I can try, if I will have accelerated graphics at 10.7MHz...! Looks good, is not it? http://s22.postimg.org/63rfn0s0t/10_7_MHz_by_various_programs.jpg http://s15.postimg …

DNSDies - Your speed will likely be limited by the speed of the controller card. Yes, I'm aware of this. But I still hope for speed-up over the dreaded old slow HDD... The intended board, Asus TXP4-X, does support PIO4 and DMA2. Both these are 16.7MB/sec rated. The card even support UDMA, witch …

trodas - there is no exception for competition in lowest CPU clock challenge Marquzz - Yes, but there are an exception and that is when the competion is about SuperPi on 486. Since Win2k or XP doesn't work with 486, then you have to use WinNT (SuperPi 1.5 doesn't work in 98). But I did not compete …

I can see that Pin32 is BSEL - what I'm not sure is where exactly you place the resistor? Between Pin32 and VDD, or Pin32 and GND? I'm sure someone could clarify... Well, there is a 10k resistor right near the Pin 32 and on the other side of it, is Vcc 3.16V for the chip. So it is fairly good bet, …

If you're talking about validation at HWBOT, WinNT is an exception. Not in competition, they are not. CPU-Z validation is required, hence Win2k SP4 or WinXP. No way around it. And besides, v1.30 works with the shlwapi.dll 😀

Well, for the necessary validation purposes (no validation = not happen) is simply "does not run" for me. I believe that this is easy to understand. This is not like rocket science, I made it clear on numerous occasions before and also in the post you are reffering to ("015-9-10 @ 06:47: "you cannot …

But you cannot validate the score w/o using the latest CPU-Z, witch made it nonexisting. If you cannot validate from earlier versions of CPU-Z, then they are nonexisting in practical purposes.

That version of Modbin does not work under WinXP, right? Because it did not start for me, while all the v2.02+ versions can be used under WinXP... And you say that there is no way to set / unlock the TRP to 2? That is very very sad...
