a bit offtopic, I am quite happy to see new "old" parts being available, it reduces the pricing pressure on the existing stock.

Re: Flashing older cards with newer BIOS when GPU is the same? i.e. GT440>>730, 6450>>R5 230 etc..
Posted on 2021-06-26, 08:10
Doable, the only difference between cards could be memory timings and speeds. Make sure there is a fallback solution, such as a flash programmer with a backup bios or blind booting (or with a pci video card)
Re: slot 1 bx440 agp perfomance

I would say your performance is as expected. The cpu and memory are slow; agp is not the bottleneck here. Fx5500 result is explained by different drivers used, most likely. Assuming the fx 5500 you have is an 128 bit card.

I've made a list I've shared with my wife and brother as I have a lot of money sitting in these boxes, explain what to do should anything happen to me. The S478 for example would be lucky to sell for £100. it's GF6800 Ultra alone could probably sell for the same price. That's generous. I will …

no need for such a cable with win xp. WDM audio drivers will allow digital audio output from the cdrom without the cable.

I hope that works out for you, but unfortunately, I also read that in circuit programming of the EEPROM on Live and Audigy cards did not work (desoldering required). I have only ever tried it myself on X-FI card (for modding, not repair) and was never even able to read the EEPROM on several …
Re: Upgrading semi modern pc ssd

If you want to go for future proof, you could buy an m2 nvme drive and a pcie adapter. Personally, I would not buy anything below 2TB. For gaming, the performance difference vs. a SATA SSD should be negligible.

It is much better to get a new RX, if the prices are reasonable. It is essentially an Audigy 4, feature wise, with driver support down to XP. EAX 5 does not appear to be relevant.

It happened to me, 3com network card and intel d815eea motherboard. The subsys ids are corrupted, the card is not recognized by driver installers from creative. Should be fixable by reprogramming the eeprom, trying to do it in-circuit, i am waiting for a soic8 clamp.

My main issue with Audigy 1 is the eeprom corruption bug, so be extra careful there, ie install it last, do not pair it with non acpi network cards.

it appears there is healthy demand under 45 - 49 EUR / USD (shipping included) for such hats (including pcb / dac / midi in / oled / rotary knobs / simple case). A recent batch of 40 PI - MIDI hats was sold out in less than 2 days, with almost no advertising. Such hats + RPI seem to be usable also …
