It's a K8V non deluxe revision 1.12 but I can't find the corresponding ASUS support page to flash an older bios. This board has the zero bytes AGP memory buy in 3dmark2o01 and slow 3d performance in windows 98.

I really want to see a FPGA based ISA video card with lot's of VRAM, 3D acceleration and sound acceleration. I'm pretty sure games like Doom could run at full speed even on a slow 386 with such card. Most of the CPU time is wasted on texture mapping and scaling, which can be accelerated quite …

Here are the results from modifying the front panel to host the OLED display for the MT32-Pi Nice , going to do something similar, but also add buttons to be able to switch btw gm and Roland mt32 :) Yeah, I thought about doing that in a clean way. Then I came up with a touch based method were you …

I have an ASUS Maximus VI HERO that I had no issues running XP on with outstanding performance. Only one missing device driver that I think was the Intel management engine.

Also, in case anyone likes a proof that this is working, I attached more pictures. I also attached a picture of how much of that cable I had to trim. That's an interesting idea to have it come out the I/o shield, I like it. I've never used a Pico power supply before. Do I need to use an AC adapter …

Thanks for the 303 Aerospace product suggestion! Curious is there something people use to minimize bleaching of big box PC games? Again, I've noticed even strong ambient light can fade those over time and I'd hate to keep them all out of sight in a closed cabinet. I imagine a glass door would help …

Anyone have experience with using these acrylic sprays to protect plastics on PC cases, consoles, etc from yellowing? I find the best medicine is of course to keep them away from sunlight, but even ambient light seems to have long-term effects. Wondering if anyone can recommend or not recommend use …

Alright, so I was able to pack everything (ITX llama, Voodoo 3000 and a SATA) in the mini ITX case (bought off ebay and attached the picture). To do that, I had to use an AGP riser from MODDIY. But man, that was then the nightmare began. With the riser I was unable to get the card working. Then I …

@hilram Eivind got AGP 1x working on a PCIe to PCI bridge chip with his ITX llama project. Think he meant supporting features like AGP fast writes and AGP texture acceleration and of course, higher levels like 2x / 4x. I could be wrong, but it seems like a lot of AGP features are software driven. …

I'm sure there are more interesting projects to build with that chip :) Such as a way to connect any AGP cards into a modern system via PCIE Or plug a newer PCIe card into an old AGP system (Geforce 8, RTX4090, whatever you prefer) The BGA stencils look to be available. It would just be so tedious …

Nvidia, in ~2004 had a stock of graphics cards that were natively AGP, as the PCIe standard started to become more prevalent. They designed a PCIe to AGP bridge, named BRo2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_BR02 Just out of curiosity, can these be sourced somewhere? They used that chip both …
