What i found so far that might rock my boat is ATI's Radeon 7000SE that can be found for around 40€+shipping however i'm bit wary about it since i don't have any experiance with it and there are reported driver problems on win98. Doas any of you have experiance with it how do you fair with it?

For info, i'm EU based and am looking for videocards on ebay. If any of you know any other places to search for simmilar would appritiate this info as well. Now on to sugestions I've looked at Banshee but they are scarse especially on PCI and pricevise at least as much as good V2 if not more so they …

Greets, I'm searching a good "low-cost" PCI videocard alternative to V2/V3 for up to DX6 gaming on win98 platform. Videocard will be ussed on socket7 motherboard (no AGP support) paird with cyrix MII 300 (have MMX 233 as well) and 128mb of RAM . Right now all 3D acceloratin is done by ATI rage XL …

Just recently i got this news feed on my mobile https://www.neowin.net/news/3dfx-interactive-might-be-coming-back-from-dead-after-20-years-but-evidence-is-sketchy/ Would be interesting if this would realy happen since new old GPU player on the field would be mighty good for competition. Though what …

from what can be read on the Net there was a plan for revision of the motherboard from AM2+ to AM3 socket and thus additional CPU support. This has never happened though I guess since with Gigabyte's already big motherboard lineup there's no need for a AM3 version of this motherboard. If I were you …

Checked CPU support for your motherboard and indeed it does not support Phenom II 940. Incidentally it's listed that Phenom X3 8450 is supported since BIOS update F7. Do you by any chance know what BIOS version you have installed? Did you try to start the system with backup BIOS as per instructions …

do you have a spare CPU to try just to chek if it's not CPU's fault? BTW do CPU/chasis fans run when starting sys? Can you check your PSU if it's delivering correct voltages? Most of motherboards deaths are caused by PSU problems. Since if i read correctly you used two different PSU is there a …

Might be a bad RAM module, are there any beeping sound when starting system? as sugessted remove battery for 30min and in this time clear cmos. then unplug everything from motherboard (from PSU power to frontpanel , ram, CPU , GPU, HDD ... everithing). Then install CPU only, PSU and power & reset …

As mentioned before, driver V1.06 fixed non working d3d and OGL, however performance is realy , realy bad so ya i'll need to get a dedicated PCI GPU or at least a voodoo 2 for 3d stuff.

Ydee, thanks for reply. I tried your driver however it did not work. After some online search I found a fully working 530/5595 IGP driver on gigabyte website. It's an older version v1.06 (Phil's and SiS is v1.08) and from what it looks like it does actually contain d3D and OpenGL part of the driver. …

According to SiS datasheet 530 chipset supports 3d "The A.G.P. internal interface is supported for integrated H/W 3D VGA controller. The integrated VGA controller is a high performance and targeted at 3D graphics application. In addition, the integrated 3D Video/Graphics controller adopts the 64bits …

Today I startd to tinker with the dumpsterdived socket 7 SiS 530 motherboard (from aptiva 2170) with cyrix MII 233. I managed to install win98SE no problem but em having now problems with 3D or lack of it from the onboard IGP. I've tried video driver 530_108.zip from Phill's lab website and the same …

Thanks guys for your replies and links to drivers. After some more digging on the web it's confirmed that MB is an Acer build V75M with "IBM" bios. As mentioned by dionb it doas have ESS solo-1 onboard audio. From what i can see VGA ram is not soldered to the board but instead uses system RAM so …

Hi, I'm first time post and long time reader of this forum. Recently i found an old IBM aptiva 2107 with SiS 530 chipset however no motherboard brand or tipe anywhere on PCB. some search on the net suggests it's actualy manufactured for IBM by Acer and looks like same layout as Acer's V75M MB. …
