K6Plus

Hey check this out, I just got a reply back from ATI: <br><br>There have been a number of reports of difficulties with Via Apollo MVP3 chipsets. Please go through the steps below to configure the AGP slot / display adapter combination in the best possible way. <br><br>1. Download the latest ATI disp...

Good point, but you know volts are only part of the story when it comes to power consumption. Both the 503+ and the P5 are late SS7 boards and both of them choked hard on the my creative TNT2 Ultra so I think that that’s definitely an upper bound on power for SS7 boards. <p></p><i></i>

Awhile back there was a post on AMDZone about GEForce wattage:<br><br>GeForce 256: 16 W <br><br>GeForce2 GTS: 9 W <br><br>GeForce2 MX: 4 W <br><br>GeForce2 Pro: 9 W <br><br>GeForce2 Ultra: 10 W <br><br>GeForce3: 15 W <br><br>Which is cool but I'm not sure how many watts is too much for our old SS7 b...

Although I admit that my flesh is often weak my faith in the allmighty K6 is always strong. Let us bow our heads in rememberence of the allmighty $40 K63+ 450...... and let us look forward far into the future where we will find the promised land... .8 micron $40 per pair SMP 2GHz TBird+'s. Until the...

I just installed a Gainward Geforce2MX400 on this system and so far it seems fast and stable but when I turn up the resolution you can see a moving pattern of faint diagonal lines moving across the screen. Whats up with that? Any tips on getting rid of it? Thanks. <br><br>Jon <br> <p></p><i></i>

Oh my brothers,<br>I am also number among the ranks of the K6 devout having replaced the last old Intel P233 in my house with a K6 this weekend. All hail the K6! Long Live the K6!! <p></p><i></i>

Don't do what I did, I got 3 degrees: 1 in math, 1 in physics and 1 in computer science. Now I know a little about everything but my head is too full to ever remember a whole lot about anything at once! <p></p><i></i>

About the Radeons, I have a Radeon 32 DDR running on an MVP3 based MB and it been pretty good. There was some trouble with the ATI drivers conflicting with the VIA GART drivers but once you get past this the card works OK. Unfornately it doesn't seem like ATI drivers enable AGP texturing under Win9x...

That stories expired now but the way I remember it Intel, MS, IBM and AMD were supporting it..that pretty much means it's going to be a standard. <p></p><i></i>

Wow whats up with that I always thought that AGP texturing was one of the big advantages of AGP..fast access to main memory and all that. Also with out the texturing working then why do we go through all this trouble with GART drivers when they're not even being used. Super lame. <p></p><i></i>

Hum...this didn't seem to do much on my system. I double click on the file and it executes but the system monitor doesn't show any changes maybe I need to change the value to something else? Anyway what dos this vb command really do and where did you find out about it? Thansk.<br><br>Jon<br> <p></p>...

<A HREF=http://www.msnbc.com/news/609202.asp?0dm=W14OT> 3GIO </A><br><br>Looks like Intels still calling the shots even though AMDs been cleaning up the floor with them for a while now. Anyway now I'm going to hold on to SS7 until 2Ghz, 2 CPU, 4G of RAM with 100G hard drive PCs with 3GIO are common ...

I remember reading that it maxes out at 128mb or somthing like that but then I read this on the MS KB:<br>http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q181/5/94.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=maximum%20memory&rnk=5&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=W95<br><br>What gives?<br><br><br...

Uh-oh are we gonna lose another one to the dark side? Quick someone tell him that all Socket A boards are bug ridden POS's!!<br><br><br>jonwest<br> <p></p><i></i>

I'm checking in from the USA with soon to be 6 K6 systems. <br><br>jonwest <p></p><i></i>
