do those have dvi support for the 5500 for pc?

Seems like I've been doing something wrong, ff7 is hanging up on me in win2k, even the Ultima edition.

When starting from scratch with win2k with sp4,  what drivers are best to use with voodoo5 5500 mac edition??

Amigamerlin or official 3dfx and which of the 2 with what dx version??

Btw, finally getting the 2nd xp-m 3000+ today, so will have those running dual if all goes well

I flashed the bios with the latest one that Narmounet posted about, running just fine, have to set the multiplier tho , srunning 800Mhz now

And gonne test the cpu's speeds first, will be doing the pin mod and if they both can run 2600Mhz, that's better then 2200 ofcourse.

Will be testing on an nforce2 board, so no limits there in regards to fsb or multiplier

my god this is so friggin annoying

I used the wires from a fan controller cable, those tiny things that are like hairs, putting little U's in the sockets is undoable, they jump out as soon as I put em in.
For wiring on the pins themselves they are ideal, bendy enough, if it weren't for the fact that as soon as I try to get it around 2 pins more then once, it jumps off again

Anyone have a suggestion about how this can be done relatively easy?

Only upside so far is that both XP-M's are recognised by the A7M266-D as XP's being MP capable they run 800Mhz right now, so I really need to get the pinmod done, as I do not have options for setting multipliers, in bios or with switches.

thanks for the links, I will have a look at it at home, but they already are MP capable, so no need to change there, just need to fix the multiplier.
Gonna set it to 2.4Ghz, so multiplier of 17.5x or something, will try and do that with pinmod.

will leave that running for a longer period of time and if all is still well after lets say 2 months, I will make a permanent mod.

I got a stable fsb of 145Mhz yesterday, did some testing runs for about an hour or 2, gaming, benching etc etc, flaswless operation.
I won't show you the benchmark results, as they are pityful due to low speed.
Even the ram test will be crappy, cause let's face it, if I reach 150Mhz stable, it srtill is only DDR300 speed, so...

but the upside is, I've been looking around, a stable fsb above 150 should be doable, I will replace the NB heatsink with a decent actively cooled one and use some artic silver for it.
Won't keep the DDR550 in there, I have 2 x 1GB Corsair XMS PC3200 2-2-2-5 1T lying around for the system, no need for ECC reg ram

But when I have reached my final FSB speed, I will set the multiplier accordingly and then do the tests again and those results I will post.

Sweet......I just received an HP 2025 20" flatscreen with dvi support, which I will hook up to my 3DFX rig. max resolution is 1600 x 1200, so pretty good for a 20"screen.

A lot better then my old 17" craptastic screen

This way I can test if for example UT99 is playable on 1600x1200 @ 32bit color, when it has a 2.4Ghz Barton core backing it up, along with enough ram.

Anyone wanna venture a guess at what the framerate will be?

hey guys,

I finally got to modding one the XP-M cpus, here's a pin lay-out and what pins I needed to connect.



and here's a picture of the actual mod:



the wires look to be very close to eachother, but I have corrected that problem.

tomorrow night I will be putting this cpu in the board to see if it runs. if it runs just fine, I'll be doing the other one tomorrow as well, I have perfect tools for it now
