geforce 6600 compatibility?

Welcome! Long time ago there was a topic here devoted to benchmarking of various graphic cards, which are capable to run on a k6 system. As far as I remember, an author mentioned a 6600 card, which he could plug in an old AGP 3.3V with no pain. I also remember, that he didn't reveal the name of the ...

EWBE Control (EWBEC): I have both Global and Speculative enabled. According to "AMD K6 proc. BIOS Design" performance is best when: GEWBED and SEWBED are set 1 (enabled) and Write Ordering set to None KachiWachi: Does your comment means, that tests done in Win98 environment will be much di...

I did some more benches today, so here they are (everest 2.2): the following are with L3 cache enabled and @616MHz: - no wpcredit tweaks, no Write Allocate: 288/87/241,9 - no wpcredit tweaks, Write Allocate enabled: 288/140/241,4 - wpcredit tweaks, Write Allocate enabled: 290/162/239,1 and now with ...

just a small update:

my mem scores with everest 2.2 are (read/write/latency):
@616: 352/89/203.3
@624: 390/99/193,4

scores are not comparable with different version of everest.

I also managed to get 4.36.427 in SuperPi, but @616, L3off and wpcredit tweaks.

I'm leaving for holidays tonight, and as a result, I will not be able to post new benchmarks until 4th.

Info for cskamacska: I bought vcsdram last year from the guy that didn't now what he sells. I would recommend to visit a good Polish auction site: www.allegro.pl.

I'm sorry, but i did not find time today to do additional benches. I hope to do it tommorow. I enclose a a small pic of super pi @4.30. The system is not perfectly stable, but I'm working on it. And a note about silent serpent: I'm hunting for it for 2 years already. No luck so far :-( . and just a ...

I assume that 45sec difference was due to the fact, that in earlier benches no wpcredit tweaks were applied. Bassically, wpcrset was set to disable at startup, and I didn't notice that :-( I will try to post benchmarks tommorow, but before I have to buy that usb controller in order to have my mouse ...

I came back to SP1. I couldn't use 124MHz FSB due to my second PCI USB card (Opti chipset). After removal, all works perfectly (but I don't have USB now...). I tested Super Pi again @ 620, and WPCREDIT tweaks (which, as I realized, were not applied in former testing due to wrong WPCRSET application ...

Jim, I have 2x support with 503a, and my second concern is whether it is also agp 2.0 compliant. I agree with your opinion about SP2. Old bugs are removed and some new added:-) I will switch to SP1 soon, but before I have to find out how to use my USB WIFI card without slowing down the whole system....

4x is not possible, as datasheet says only about 2x transfer mode. What is interesting, is compliance with 1.5v and not only 3.3v.

Datasheet doesn't mention x4, although I also have one pcr file, where that setting is present (offset A4).

can mvp3 do agp 2.0?

As far as I knew, none of super7 chipsets could do agp 2.0. According to http://users.erols.com/chare/chipsets.htm only sis540 had x4 support, which equals to AGP 2.0, but mobos with sis540 all had integrated graphics. To my surprise, I found in vt82c598mvp datasheet following information: on page '...

replacing m1541a1 rev. E with rev.G?

Hello, I have coupe of questions to you guys.

Is it technically possible to replace m1541 chipset with its newer revision taken from another mobo? Will it work?

Does anyone know aladdin V+ based mobo with 1024kb cache?
