This is a little old now, but did you have any luck with this? These board are very rare, particularly models using Intel's cache module. This was designed specifically to work with the DX/50 for stability and performance purposes but not all manufacturers went for it because of the high cost.

Well, all I had to do was be more methodical. Turns out all the drivers (but one) that I downloaded were the exact same version (4.13.7192). I don't know why I assumed they wouldn't be - out of practice I guess. Even though this driver is supposed to support the Rage 128 VR, it doesn't. Maybe it's …

I got confused by bad info about the board on the first web I found online. There is indeed a Rage 128 VR version. Nice. Are you sure it is the one you have? Affirmative. It's confirmed in the manual and by the dev ID. Also, I just spent the necessary 90 minutes installing XP on this K6-2/500 to …

Maybe try casual Rage Pro driver? By the way there are PCI graphics cards that would run circles around it. Yep, tried that. I know there are always 'alternatives', but this is a machine for a friend. It was their childhood computer and I would love to get it up and running 100% for them for the …

Hi everyone. I'm having a weird problem with the integrated graphics on an MSI motherboard model MS-5191 under Windows 98.

Cool hardware. I guess one way is to manually compile the Qt libraries with SSE2 disabled. But since VCS is fairly CPU-heavy it might not run so well on those CPUs. Thanks! Indeed it does not run so well. Even with just the Vision display window open, GUI performance plummets (especially as AGP is …
