voodoo 5 5500 AGP

Been forever since I was here, I like the new look. I was tossing assorted old "really good stuff" the other day and stopped when I got to this voodoo 5500 video card. If anyone is interested in doing a vintage restore it might be of some use. Dual gpu's. I used to have one do rendering an...

For me the "best" boards involve the most for the least hassle. I still have 2 MVP3G5s running. They.re stable, easy to set up,moderately easy to tweak and can support enough by themselves to be useable as is (USB ATA66, AGP) without needing add on cards or bracketry. The win 2000 one runs...

Hi, I'm the rev. 1.06 with k6 III+ guy. If Saintlycobra will post a few benchmark results (everest is easy, available, and the right price} I'll dust off the old machine and try to see what I can come up with as a comparison.Perhaps that would do a bit more to define "running slow".

RE: P5A-B w/audio, AGP problems

Have you installed 4in 1 driver (hyperion) drivers?
Sorry to state the obvious but it once had me stumped.

RE: Installing my new K6-3+ CPU

I'd leave it on. It is generally only necessary to disable it when overclocking the FSB faster than the cache can handle.

The point I should have tried to make clear is that within a board model there may be BIOS/rev, combinations that will allow the machine to post and boot into windows. This does not mean that the cpu chip is fully implemented ( no internal cache, no write allocation etc. ) but it does allow you to i...

While Jim and I seem to have different thoughts and experiences with p5ab's we both agree that you need the manual!!!!! Of the 3 p5ab's I have set up this way ( 2x rev.1.03 and 1xrev.1.06 ) only 1 of the rev.1.03's needed a bios flash to POST. This does not mean that the chip is properly recognized ...

RE: Serial ATA PCI Controller: Works great on Tyan S1598C2

If only I had known before! I just set up an ATA raid with a Promise card in the belief that SATA wouldn't work. Oh well, with raid 0+1 I still get some performance and redundancy. Thanks for sharing this.

oops. Should have included this before. I also have used these chips in G5 boards and they work just fine. In regards to your k6-2 550 have you tried setting the multiplier jumper to X2. On my K6=2 550(G5 board) this is remapped to X6.However I have never gotten past the windows splash screen at thi...

I have only tried the ACZ and ACR chips @450 both of which have clocked 550+ without overvolting or requiring more than standard cooling to do so. Here http://www.k6plus.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=864 is what I was told when I asked about the letter codes f...

Decapitation-er-uncapping

After a recent fit of disassembling and shuffling I find I have a couple of k6-2 @500 to try this on.If all goes well I may try it on a k6-3+. Can anyone give me any pointers?
