K6Plus

Well it's the latest and greatest and that's usually a good thing (not always though..like with NVidia drivers). It supports larger drives than older BIOS's did and some people reported awhile back that IDE throughput was better with the recent 503+ BIOS's also. <p></p><i></i>

+ series or not the the JE4333 bios is still probably your best bet. Of course you'll need to flash with the old chip in if the MB won't recognize the K63 now. You can find the new BIOS's on the FAQ <A HREF=http://www.fic.com.tw/techsupport/faq/faqs01va-503+.htm> here </A>. <p></p><i></i>

Hummm...that's not on an ASUS P5A or P5AB is it? <p></p><i></i>

Hey wmrrivera, what OS are you running? If it's Win98 you have to setup Win98 with PNP BIOS support disabled. This has the wanted side effect of forcing Win98 to not use ACPI which should get your system running. <br> <p></p><i></i>

Ok I got the ASUS V7700 GTS in my 503+ right now...I'll post back in a few days and let you all know how it went! <p></p><i></i>

Fascinating but I wonder if its really true or maybe not that close to actual development. I say this because didn't Motorol a post some kind of amazing loss this week..I can see there PR people pumping some stuff out like that just to hype up souring investors. All this optical processing stuff rea...

io I've been running a Radeon 32 DDR(non VE) in my 503+ for about 6 months and apart from the texturing thing it did well although the driver install always was a bit hairy. I just put a ASUS 7700 GTS in tonight though..so far so good.....and I got texturing back!! Yipppeeee!!! <p></p><i></i>

Anyone try a GEForce2 GTS or Ultra? Is there life on the 503+ past the GEForce2MX? Can the old FIC handle the 9watts? <p></p><i></i>

Yeah what old elf said..get with it ATI!! Your drivers suck and we're sick of it. <p></p><i></i>

I said the thing about the power because of "(especially when it comes to SS7 current supply issues) " in the first post. Current draw is always a big concern with AGP and SS7. Yeah I think that we're going to keep bugging ATI until they fix their drivers or tell us to go buy NVidia cards!...

OK another hour of my life wasted....<br><br>I went through all the steps and I still have no AGP texturing. There were 2 anomolies with the install though.<br>1) I couldn't uninstall the old ATI driver through Add./Remove programs I got an error that said could not initialize.<br>2) I couldn't find...

That is wierd. I don't know why its happening but please let us know when you figure it out. I'm about to set up the same system in about a week or so. <p></p><i></i>

Hahahhaa...yup Pnp doesn't work!! PnP is one of the most preposterous farces foisted on us by the PC industry so far. Yuck, give me jumpers/switches on cards any day over PnP!! <br><br>One thing to know is that the FIC SS7 boards are especially picky about IRQ assignments, they're always a pain to s...

george, I've been running an Radeon 32 DDR AGP in my 503+ for about 6 months and have had no problems with voltage. A few of us Radeon people have found that the Windows drivers for win9x don't seem to support AGP texturing though. apperently AGP texturing does work fine in Win2k. We have high hopes...

Yeh I love how in these types of situations they never tell you why you're supposed to be doing all that stuff in that particular order. Seems like it would be easier just to say such and such dll id screwed up replace it with this one...but no no no noone can admit fault so we must all pretend to d...
