Hello there,i am facing some slowdowns with my rev 1,04 using a k6-3+ 450 oc to 600mhz.It is more like a stuttering i would say.I am using winME with 768mb ram and an ati rage fury maxx.I have not complete testing but i will try this mod and report back but has there been a report of problematic behaviour before with a rev 1,04 and a k6-3+?

This should be in a new, or at least different, thread.

MODS: RECOMMEND THAT THIS BE SPLIT

Now that that's out of the way...

768MB is, in all likelihood, overkill. The Asus P5A rev 1.04 should be fully compatible with the K6-III+ CPU, so there should be no requirement to mod it. See the quote below for more details. The Rage Fury MAXX does suffer from some issues due to the way in which the dual GPUs are implemented. When are you experiencing the stuttering?

The title says it all! Following a vague post on k6plus.com regarding a simple modification to correct the "slowness" issue when paring K6-2/3 "plus" variants with Aladdin V rev G Northbridge equipped P5As (rev 1.05 & 1.06), I went ahead and tried this on my P5A rev 1.06 -- so far the results look promising!
