You're right. The mainboard smells really bad. More than any other boards i've ever used and bought. Do you really think, a shower is OK? I don't know if the water from the shower is good... Even at my home, the water has a high concentration of calcium carbonate.

All TNT2's have the same core, the NV5. Only a matter what quality the chip has after manufacturing and the normal TNT2 and the Ultra were available from march 1999. And of course, the used graphics memory can make the difference..

Re: CPU+MOBO combos for each Voodoo card?

Voodoo1 - Pentium/Pentium mmx or K6-2 Voodoo2 SLI - High end PII or early PIII Hmm, looking at phil's VGA database, the K6-2 matches the pentium MMX (with 233MHz to 266 MHz), and with the high clocks (with 450MHz to 550 MHz) you are faster but do not reach the high end pentium II's concerning heavy …

Several weeks ago, i've destroyed one Athlon 1000 B cause i forgot the thermal grease. As a replace i've got an Athlon 1333 C with closed L1 bridges. That means, by default you are able to change multi's if the board has the option for. Now my VIA family is these: KT133, KT133A, KT333, KT400 and …

It is possible to use a Athlon C (with default FSB133 (266DDR)) on a VIA KT133 mainboard (VT8363 & VT82C686A) ?? The official support by VIA is only 100Mhz front side bus. For memory bus it supports also 133Mhz. If you have a mainboard with good bios Oc settings, for example the Abit KT7 (not the A …
