Hooked up Superpuppy 1 last night, (K6-2 550+ on FIC VA503+ w/ 512 Meg Ram), and encountered one problem after another. Managed to get DOS 622 to boot, found a Windows 3.1 Partition, but couldn't get it to boot, found a WINNT4 partition but couldn't get it to boot, etc. Possible reasons : 1) Needs n...

Right now I am in the process of trying to fix Sonja's computer which her son screwed up severely. Once that is done, I will hook up my FIC-VA103+ machine, (Win NT4) and try runing directX diag and see what happens. I will also check the bios to see if there are AGP settings with the bios I am using...

I am not sure about the error you are encountering. All I can say about the FIC VA-503+, is that they don't just require RAM that can pass run of the mill tests. They require EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH QUALITY RAM, because the boards settings are so close to the limits, that they will cause normal RAM to ge...

I used to use 200 Watt AT supplies with my K6 Machines, except for one which got a 300 Watt AT supply; - (of which I still have 2 brand new unused ones). Re RAM speed bear in mind that you can overclock these things. If you use a K6Plus processor, most of them will hit 600 MHz with no problem. They ...

RE: FIC VA-503+ revisted
One thing worth checking is your RAM. Kyle Brant, the author of "K6Speed", (the program in the download section that allows you to adjust your speed in MHz without having to open up your machine and mess with jumpers), Used an FIC VA-503+, and he said that that board is so borderline on it...

RE: Manual
I did a search for that manual, and found a number of sites claiming to have it, but they want you to install some toolbar to download it.

Eric, I found when using a normal K6-2 processor, that in order to get video to play smoothly, I had to : 1) Use CL2 SDRAM prefferably 512 or 768 meg thereof. 2) Have the processor running at 550 MHz - (5.5 x 100 MHz) because for some reason you get much better memory performance using the 5.5 x mul...
