Voodoo 5 6000
27.02.09 at 03:43:06

Hello there!

I used a long time my Voodoo 5 6000 on a SOYO Dragon Ultra until the PSU died with a lightning Cry

The Mobos AGP Slot, maybe died, and something other (sometimes it doesnt boot up anymore and AGP is very particular and has his own life)

Thanks god the Voodoo didnt get any harm, tested on an Epox and she works =)

So I decide to buy a new motherboard.
At Voodooalert I already asked what they were using for systems and there are several capabilities
like with:
TYAN
Epox
SOYO

but I am searching now for an faster Version than I had (was with an AMD 2400+)

fastest would be an Epox with a 3200+ CPU
or a TYAN with 2x AMD CPUs

or same System again

but now I searched a little bit and found on SOYO an interesting Board!
http://www.soyo.com/product/Motherboards/56/SY-P4I845PEGVISA_Plus/272

Its a Pentium4 System and it supports the Prescott family
the nice thing is that there are 3x ISA Slots and it supports 2x/4x AGP (you can see it on the page)

The Chipset is an Intel 845PE

Does anyone know that Board or has experience/infos?

I allready wrote to SOYO but didnt get any mail back
If I get a mail I will write here

(I forgot the old username, so DATA is now here on FF, but never mind Cool

Uhm, it supports a max FSB of 533, which means that the fastest processor you can put on the board is a 3,06GHz model.

IMHO you're better of with an AthlonXP 3000+ or 3200+ with 333MHz FSB on an Epox EP-8K3A+.

Also, does the board support AGP2x @ 3,3Volt or at 1,5Volt? If it only supports AGP2x @ 1,5Volt it's not going to work for your Voodoo5 6000 because it requires 3,3Volt.

Also, looking at the picture of that Soyo, it's missing the AGP port, perhaps it's a prototype and never went into production?

They stopped manufacturing motherboards a few years ago, so there isn't much incentive for them to continue to provide support.

Hi

Just thought I'd add my two cents....

AFAIK, the fastest AMD CPU for a Voodoo5 board is an AMD 3000XP @ 333MHz. As for the 400MHz FSB CPUs, the 400MHz compatible motherboards do not work with Voodoo5 boards as they would end up being an AGP 4X 1.5V slot.

Which is why I bought an EPoX 8K5A3+ motherboard. Also, a lot of v6k users like the EPoX 8K3A+ board, but that board won't accept AMD CPUs up to Athlon XP 3000+ @ 333MHz. The 8K3A+ is a 266MHz board.

Hope that helps.

@razrx i think NitroX was referring to this CPU
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Athlon%20XP%203200%2B%20-%20AXDA3200DKV4D.h...
~~if indeed~~ it exist looking at the comments and pictures on the site but it's somewhat rare.

For mainboard options you can also check here
http://www.voodoo3dfx.com/Foro_V6k/viewtopic.php?t=8&start=0
and of course Gary's site (hope he doesn't mind all the free advert)
In the end it's a matter of personal choice

I was referring to this document on the AMD website (page 21): http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26237.PD... the multiplier would be.... 333 x 7 = 2333MHz which is approx. 3200+ speed rating..... so it's possible

Kokohemmo YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 47	Re: Voodoo 5 6000 Reply #12 - 02.03.09 at 23:29:04 Hi Normal AMD Athlon 3000+ Barton 333 Mhz core multiplier is 13. It runs very stable without any hickups. The 8K3A+ board is mention to be in 266, but it runs in 333 with bios update without any problems. 8K3A+ works in my knowledge maxium at 333 in memory and CPU. 400Mhz do not work. Regards KokoHemmo
