Re: 939 8gb rig AN8 or A8N??

Posted on 2015-07-05, 00:23

Getting 4 of these DIMMs going is nigh impossible. I think it might be working at DDR200 speed but it's hard to be positive it's stable. The power off issue is a parity error being detected I think. Overall I don't suggest AN8 for 2GB registered PC3200. Socket 939 in general is a pain in the rear …

I got it working. It was RAM timing that was causing the shutdown. I had to set RAS Precharge to 6T. However, it appears that ECC is disabled. http://s9.postimg.org/8evbs4d0r/Clipboard01.png http://s9.postimg.org/u00efq9rf/Clipboard02.png http://s9.postimg.org/l7jfs1omj/Clipboard03.png

I got 8GB of ECC DDR PC3200 and have tried it. The system POSTs and I can run Memtest86+ fine with 2x2GB installed. All 4GB is recognized. However, trying to boot XP or a Vista x64 install CD causes the system to power off and this is 100% repeatable. I can't determine what is causing this. I …

More interesting. Yes, a K6-2/3 will be a gimpy game machine. You can also see the thrill that people who upgraded from K6 to Duron experienced. :) https://web.archive.org/web/20040218102625/http://www.aceshardware.com/read.jsp?id=15000172 https://web.archive.org/web/20031229013654/http://www. …

OldUnreal has an OpenGL renderer (UTGLR) that supports S3TC. It works on any card with at least DirectX 8 compliance. The DirectX 9 renderer can do it too. Glide does detail textures fine but has no S3TC support. Voodoo1 and 2 run low on texture memory with UT though. Voodoo1 4MB and Voodoo2 8MB …

Another thing - with UT if you enable detail textures with Metal it causes pauses when the detail textures load as you approach a wall AFAIR. I remember that Unreal has the detail textures option, but I don't see it in UT GOTY. Am I missing it here? http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j349/ …

I haven't tried that special S3 Quake3 but I remember plain Q3Arena working well enough. It's no GeForce 256 though. I played a good bit of Heretic 2 on it last fall at 1600x1200 and was impressed at how well it ran. That's Quake 2-based. Another thing - with UT if you enable detail textures with …

UT CD2 installs the S3TC textures. I think that is the case with GOTY as well. Savage 2000 runs Quake 1-3 engines quite well, and Unreal Engine 1 assuming the game has Metal support. Otherwise it's not very useful. Of course it also has some hardware flaws, the main known one being the S3TL engine …

I'm still waiting for something exciting/awful to happen whenever I'm web browsing on a 98SE setup with a super obsolete browser.... Seems like the router firewall is probably enough. Actually I think I want to jack a 98SE build straight into my cable modem for fun sometime. Let it run for a few …

Re: K6-III+ Rig, Ready for battle :)

Morrowind is very inefficient. It doesn't cull unseen polygons, other than beyond the view distance clip plane. I've seen some comments that it may render back to front. I remember needing an Athlon 64 to really get it running fast finally and I guesstimate that is about 20x faster than a K6-3+.
