Well, I did.

It was quite long ago, when I was still using Voodoo5 5500 on Asus A7V333. I swear I didn't mess around with spread spectrum setting in the BIOS at that time, since I didn't even know about such thing back then. Recently I read the mobo manual again, and no, no spread spectrum setting found in the manual. Then I moved the Voodoo5 5500 to a 440BX mobo --a DTK PRM-0800I, to be exact; a Pentium II mobo. Unfortunately I haven't got the chance to actually use the 5500 for 3dfx games, since the system was primarily to test DOS GLide games on a Voodoo2 which was also part of the system. The Voodoo5 was nothing more than a glorified VESA card, alas. Then the mobo stopped working, thus, my interest to move to Super Socket 7. But I haven't actually got the time to do anything about it either.

Then I suddenly remember this spread spectrum thread, and many others.

Problem is; most 440BX motherboards --and probaly many, many older motherboards as well-- don't have the option to turn off spread spectrum. Not in BIOS, not through jumper either. The only 440Bx mobo I knew capable to disable spread spectrum is Intel's own, using jumper J14.

So, anyone else able to run Voodoo5 5500 without disabling spread spectrum?
