It might be in the bios for ram speed. 60/70 nd

That's Intel motherboard, it has no timing tweaking.

Please play a good game of benchmark before and after switching to that ATA133 card; I'm curious if external ATA133 actually outperforms onboard (oh, wait is the onboard 33MiB/s only? In that case, I hope that the upgrade will do a difference, being a 7200rpm, it should be able to move some data)

Here you go. What a dramatic difference! Almost hard to believe 😎

This thing is FUN! Fired up a couple games, the performance is better than I expected. The Quadro4 NVS 200 is a great pair for this machine 😎

Ughhhhh what is going on. I'm trying to narrow it down to one or two SIMMs. I'm running 256MB in a Gateway G6 FPC / Intel VS440FX. There are no options to adjust memory timing. Anyone else ran into this issue? Could the modules be too high density or something?

There is a jumper on the MB to change RAM timings. It's just a single jumper described as 50/60ns RAM or something

I have the full manual for the motherboard. I don't see anything like that. Do you have any other info?

I'm sorry I got the VS440FX mixed up with the PR440FX. The PR board has this jumper

The performance in late 90s games is almost there. Man a Pentium II Overdrive would be really, really sweet. Still having fun either way.

Very impressive! But out of curiosity; why do you call the drive "ssd"? Isn't it the 7200 rpm drive previously mentioned?

No, I decided to take some good advice and I went with the 32GB SSD using the IDE->SATA adapter and hooked it up to the Highpoint ATA133 PCI card.
