K6Plus

I've got an old school gaming system running nice with a 400 K6-III on it (regular K6-III, not "plus" model). Wow, the thing even plays DVD's pretty smoothly, too, using a 3DFX Voodoo3 card and 100Mhz FSB for the RAM. I was never able to get DVD's to play good on K6 machines before, and I ...

So CAS latency is the most important of the specs then? I guess it makes sense, since that's the one spec always mentioned.

Thank you.

I know DDR is not used on K6 platforms, but the question/answer might be pertinent even to SDRAM. Anyway, my question is on the following choices of RAM timings. I'm unsure which of these specs would prove to be faster (theoretically, at least) on a system... CL - tRCD - tRP - tRAS 2.5 - 3 - 3 - 6 2...

Well I got the new designs for the ductwork done; but none of the metal fabricating shops I tried wanted to touch the job ! I am going to have to do it myself ! How disgusting that so called "Professionals" are unwilling to attempt a job in their chosen field; and prefer to let an amateur...

Thanks for the tips, Don.

By the way, my apologies if I sounded a bit of a nincompoop earlier in the thread.

I'm currently finding out how to discover and /or disable any GPU driver in the FreeNAS OS I'm using.

Hi DonPedro and Jim, Would I be wrong in saying these 400MBps+ performance ratings are only if I use WPCredit and Windows? Even in some cases, certain graphics card combinations and certain multipliers? you mentioned this in a chart on page 5 of the thread you referenced. I guess it would have helpe...

Well, the RAM I would be using is already Micron PC133 at CAS 3 from Dell, so I'm pretty sure that RAM can handle PC133 settings. It just seemed to me, after reading through that whole 16 page thread, that some were getting desperate to get the SiS 530 just to perform decently with such sophisticate...

"yes, thats the proven way it works without a glitch" I'm confused. :D I just spent about an hour going through all 16 pages of the thread listed above. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there did not seem to be any consensus that the SiS 530 chipset is truly capable of 133Mhz FSB. It seems to...

OK, I guess I could stick a low end PCI graphics card in there, disable the mobo GPU, and then I wouldn't have to be concerned about the AGP divider.

I could take advantage of the 133Mhz FSB.

Sounds good?

Thanks, DonPedro. i'll take a look at the link later tonight. In case you read this sooner than I get to reading that link, would it be safe to say that keeping this board at 100Mhz FSB would be better for stability's sake, if I use the built-in GPU? This is part of a NAS (network attached storage) ...

Folks, in case you don't know, a new category of specialized PCs has popped up in the past few years...the NAS (Network Attached Storage). The idea is great for people who have 2 or more PCs in a home or office and want to consolidate all their data (aside from OS and apps) into one machine that can...

I am using a Gigabyte GA-5SMM mobo. I noticed in the manual that when configuring the FSB at 133Mhz, the PCI must be using a 1/4 divider (rather than typical 1/3 divider), because the PCI bus is still running at 33Mhz (which is good, for stability). My only question is: This board features built-in ...

Thanks, guys. I was afraid of that. Oh well.

Hi guys,

Wondering if the configuration that gets created by WPCredit can be used on non-Windows systems. I know WPCredit itself has to run on a Windows OS, but after the configuration has been done, can a person boot up onto a different OS and still reap the benefits?
