That looks like a Voodoo2 card to me. The Voodoo and Voodoo2 can only run 3D, no 2D. When using a Voodoo1/2, you need to use a secondary graphics card which does 2D. You then connect a VGA pass-through cable from the Voodoo2 to the 2D card. That's why there is the extra VGA port. Your monitor …

Exactly which Voodoo cards did you try and which cards do you have available to try? Sounds like you got a decent deal on that NexGen system. Sorry looks like it's not the voodoo, or is it..... combo cards of sorts. with a cable. 3 cards not all the same. all with 3dfx chips same length Diamond …

By the way I have new clock ic on order. since the battery is dead I read it causes a lot of problems, like bios, booting, stability. Something about the older boards relying heavily on the quartz and it didn't function correctly from just motherboard power. I remember old sun sparc stations …

Anyone know how much RAM an nx586 can cache with 256kb L2? My guess is the standard direct-mapped amount: 32 MB w/L2 in WB mode, or 64 MB w/L2 in WT mode. thehinac, are you able to test this? CTCM7 will tell you. Try different RAM quantities and rerun CTCM7. I'll poke at it. Sure. About to good to …

A few questions: where did you source the NexGen PCI w/PF110 and how much did it set you back? If you need to sell it at some point, please contact me privately. Doesn't the 6200 have higher driver overhead than the GeForce 2 or 4? So even if you got the 6200 working, it wouldn't really be pushed …

xjas wrote: IIRC some of the newest Nvidia "PCI" cards actually need the AGP bus to be present to work. I think Phil's Computer Lab even covered this. But I don't remember the specifics... Never heard that before. Thanks. Maybe 5200 is the highest you can go on a NexGen Pci motherboard.

Sorry for the hijack, but I could use some help with my NexGen PCI PF110 build. NexGen NX586 PF110 PCI Motherboard, Video card post issues If anyone could help me with a video card problem. Please don't hit me. 🙁 I can post with nvidia 5200 but no post with 6200. pci cards of course.

Yo. Building a from scratch NexGen PCI motherboard with PF110 chip. Ran in to something odd. Yes I know it's probably never meant to run this... Buuuut. I can get a Nvidia 5200 to post. But I've tried two different Nvidia 6200's and can't get a post. Does anyone know anything crazy that might help …

Too bad the PF didn't work in the VLB motherboard. Sorry for derailing the thread, but two ideas come to my mind: 1. Would you like to update its BIOS to the latest known version - v06e033w? I'm attaching the needed package for your reference (however it doesn't mention the exact changes from the …

How rare would you guys say the original 1000Mhz Athlon that won the "Ghz race" back in 2000 would be? http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Athlon%201000%20-%20AMD-K7100MNR53B%20A.html I recently got my hands on one in an Asus K7V KX133 board and it seems to work (bad PS/2 ports on the board but …

Well I'll try and get the PCI version up. My only PCI video card at the house is dead, I tried plugging in but it beeps 8 times for video card issue according to the manual. Both motherboards. But I got a box of them at work. The only way I could see testing that is a P110 in the vlb and pf110 in …

lucky guy, i'm trying for ages to score a Nx5x86 and a Motherboard. Nearly impossible these days :) There's a seller on ebay that scalps them for 500$. Same person selling them for years. I Assume he's got a lot. Incidentally that's the guy thats mad at me. For some reason NexGen sold a lot …

Thanks, but an hours ago I just found out I'm like the biggest a-hole alive. I have two cpu heatsink plastic screws that hold the heatsink on to the cpu of the nx586. they're the only thing I have related to the nx586 that I don't own. borrowed them from a guy like 4 years ago to try and 3d print …

Ouch, those are gorgeous! How did you acquire those motherboards in such pristine condition? Where did you obtain the PF chips? I haven't see anyone with one of those on Vogons before, and in mint condition. Do you have the motherboard which runs the PF chip? I bet you could pay off your mortgage …

Do you have some benchmarks or video captures of your NexGen system somewhere? Yeap I have a rebuilt one I did for fun to test CPU's. It's got a ATi Mach64 VLB with VRam expansion, and 128MB of Ram. I also have the original software to make windows read it as a 586, and FPU emulator when using just …

I just want to use them and don't really care if it's rare or not. Usually I find it's rare after I find it or if it's listed for insane amount of money. NexGen NX587 coprocessor. Before NexGen had the PF series with the FPU built in they produced a number of their custom motherboards that …
