Got ~4600 points with the right driver and GF3Ti200. And about 100 points more with Quadro2Pro. Now, I’m learning how to apply 2-2-2-5 delays to RAM and other tweaks via WPCREDIT. 07F3C9B8-73C9-4659-9442-52763DF1A6FD.jpeg 6776109C-9090-4C04-8E14-E5341960E7A1.jpeg UPDATE: I've managed to set 2-2-2-5 …

WOW ! Mentat, that is a good pie time! Are you saying that you can run 124Mhz on your single 1024kb cache chip? That is some awesome info! Yep. It also runs at 133 MHz WITH cache enabled. 3DMark passes Game1 &2 @ 633, but SuperPi does not ) Maybe, that was memory issue. Need Clean install of Win2k, …

Hello again. I’ve recently got my Epox 5MVP3G2 , also known as NMC-5VMXe. It rocks! But, I have “slow AGP” issue. Gonna try different 4in1. My 3DMark2000’s score is 2600 with this mobo. K6-3+ 620 124*5 with whole 1Mb of cache enabled. It also works @133, but w/o cache. 52899C75-A315-441F-A913- …

My guess is that it's using a x2.5 multiplier and the FSB is about 100 MHz. That's correct. 100x2.5. Asus P2B-F is unstable @ 103. Goin to repeat the same with Asus P3B-F. Also, I'm to run a couple of Black Top / 1M/ 200M PPros in a VIA-based mobo (Tyan S1834D) to use +33M option on SDRAM. But, …

Wow, I did not know PPros would work with a 440LX chipset! From what I've heard here, the Pentium Pro can work on 440BX boards, too.

Stage 2. Latest beta BIOS from Asus P5A-B was flashed. UDMA66 works. But, I can not find the settings on 8/10 bit TAG SRAM mode. Asus BIOS should be tweaked for this. 128Mb & 256Mb we’re tested. 128 works faster. Need further tweaking 😬 Got 3200 points. Filename 96D28219-BC0A-41DC-95FF-FCC7EF32EC1D …

Just tested GF2 MX400 with the same effect in 5MVP3. Looks like my W2K needs replacement). Just instant reboot. p.s. Voodoo 5 5500 AGP was a bit faster in VIA-based mobo by ~150 pts ))

Your Voodoo 5 most likely works because it uses external power, from the 12V rail. Forgot to say that I also tried FX5200 and even FX5900XT with power connector. Also with crash-reboot. About the driver version you mentioned , is it for Win9x ? I use W2K. Update: found 5ali61 rev F mobo w/o tag …

Did you try using a good ol' GeForce 2 MX or MX 400 (128 bit versions only) with driver 7.76 ? They have very low power requirements (4 - 5 watts) and work great with SS7... albeit, you can't aim for the stars with them :-) For that you probably need a GeForce 2 GTS / GeForce 3 Ti, but their power …

Thats awesome! :) 4ns should be more stable. But can you post into windows at 5.5x120 with cache on? Did you try with cache off?

I wonder, who've deleted my previous post. Nevermind.. My mobile K6-III+ 400 1.6v goes 660 MHz on Gigabyte GA-5AA. Unstable, unfortunately. Maybe, 4ns cache would help)) gotta pull it from other mobo. 630Mhz is OK.
