Thank you, I'll order the chip then. I have a programmer, so no problem getting the new chip ready.

Both are 2Mbit 256K x 8 according to documentation - which matches mobo spec: https://soggi.org/motherboards/asus/P2B-D.htm Or maybe I got something wrong?

I have faulty ATMEL AT49F002NT-120PC - 120ns Can I replace it with 90ns or even faster chip, or should I stick to 120ns? Basically I want to buy WINBOND W29C020C-90B - 90ns - pinout looks the same with the difference in PIN1 - on ATMEL it is RESET and not connected on WINBOND I only found …

Hah - finally it failed to flash permanently, then I bought a TL866 programmer and got the same error (same address). So the BIOS chip is broken - need to buy a new one. Funny part is that, despite flashing error, system boots up - everything looks fine - I've got HW monitor in BIOS. Will need to …

... Maybe this is helpful. The odd thing is that - when I run Speedfan under windows I get all the voltage, temp and fan readings fine - so HW monitor is present. So someone put incorrect BIOS? I'll try no HWM version of the latest Bios - if it flashes fine that would mean I cannot overwrite the …

Silly question maby, but have you reseated the chip and is your battery OK? I put new battery. Did not reseat the chip - I gonna take the motherboard out today and will try to do it, as well as clean it a little bit. I had the same problem with an ASUS TXP4 motherboard. The problem was that the …

I have a problem updating BIOS on my Asus P2B rev. 1.04 - always fails on one of two addresses during verification process. Used both Aflash 1.37 and 2.21 Tried Bios 1012 and 1014.003 Funny is that when I try to flash back to the old BIOS it also fails on those addresses for the couple of runs and …

If anyone is interested in solution - I've unplugged USB controller and plugged it back (in different PCI slot). As a result I see that AWE64 has changed resources - from IRQ 5 DMA 1 to IRQ 7 and DMA 3 (actually all resources changed) and is working fine now.

Finally I was able to find out why my Win 98 does not boot - and it happens precisely after installation of usb drivers and my NEC USB controller being added to hardware. So my question - may it be IRQ conflict or something else? In my Socket 7 machine I got similar USB controller (not the same) and …

Nice ! I like to max out my stuff to some degree so speed is sort of like of the essence over here. Last year I finally got a P5A to go with an AMD K6-3+ 400 that I had bought for another board that did not like it. I did some testing with a Geforce2 MX 400 64Mb and overclocked to 550 Mhz the …

So the problem was in graphic drivers - I had to downgrade detonator to 23.11 (probably higher is achievable as I was testing on DirectX 6.1). Also downgraded DirectX to 7.0. Both 3DMarks working fine. I've tested also on TNT2 64MX and performance in 3DMark is pretty much the same as on GeForce 2 MX …

Amazing how demanding this game was at that time - it may be true that my memory is not correct - or I accepted lower fps back then. For sure my 15" CRT screen was better to see it than my current 17" LCD. On AMD K6-2 350MHz though its pretty good - and at least runs in highest settings (on 200MMX …

Hah - 3DMarks 99 and 2000 won't run - both reporting card not compatible with Directx 6/7 or higher. I'm running directx 9.0c on win98. Could it really be no backward compatibility or the card is broken in terms of 3D? I'll try other graphics when I get it + some tweaks from the topic PARKE …

Yup - got rev 1.04 - I think the smallest module I have is 128MB - changing to it does not make noticeable change (did not check in bench). Removing Ultra ATA promise controller and sound card seems to improve performance. Checked with Sandra 99 and it looks pretty much ok - in comparison with …

My current setup for is: Asus P5A, Pentium 200MMX, 256MB RAM, GF 2 MX400, ISA ESS 1869 (but playing with no sound now) Running boot into DOS from Windows 98 with extended memory option Some time ago I had Pentium 120MHz (still have working CPU :) ) with ~64MB of RAM and some S3 Trio - I've noticed, …

Hey, this is my first post here :) Screamer 2 was always one of my favourite games - I remember playing it when I had Pentium 120MHz with 64MB of RAM in the middle of 90's. There are 4 modes - low res - low color, hi res - low color, low res high color and hi res high color. Back then I remeber …
