Incredible Gary, good te see you have found the missing parts for the AALchemy system Cheesy

, does it have Dual Pentium!!! 550Mhz ?

man it must be imensively powerfull, 8x VSA-100 and 8x 64MB 8)

so maybe FSAA x12 & x16 would be possible, that must look very neat en preciese.

what is going to be it's Operating System, Windows NT 4.0 + SP6 or Windows 2000 Professional + SP4+ ?

Dual 850's with Win2000pro. Be nice if it worked, the 2.9 volt rail from the power supply isn't putting out. No core volts, no operation.

a new PSU maybe the sollution? an Enermax Redundant 550Watt PSU maybe an idea, if one falls out you still got the other to take over.

Anyways, will Quake3 Arena be possible?
hmm I see you have posted pics of it's inner structure, very nuce Dual Pentium!!! 850Mhz SLot 1

4GB PC-100/133 max that 4x 1GB right

, hmm could it be that the motherboard is from Super-Micro of Tyan or maybe iWill?

Not possible, the AA5 boards require a custom power supply that can support 75 AMPS on the 2.9 volt rail.

hmmm okay, then the motherboard is from Quantum3D it's self, the Iwill, Tyan and Super-Micro board can have the Redundant PSU, oh well got mixxed up there

getting a new PSU for the AA5 mainboardf is gonna be trcky right? Hope you'll get her up 'n' runn'n very soon, that would be so cool.

I see that the AALchemy 8164 goes in the streched PCI slot, looks like a 64Bit PCI slot, but then with another layout partern. it still refers to PCI 3#6.

gdonovan YaBB Administrator Offline Infernal Collector Posts: 2361	Re: AAlchemy GX Reply #10 - 16.07.05 at 17:38:48 The motherboard is a Intel GX (hence an AAlchemy-GX system) the same motherboard as Mercury. Quantum3D was running an upgrade program for Mercury owners with a single AA5 board swapping out a merc brick. The AA5 card works in any PCI 33/66 mhz slot. troubleshooting the PS now, might be something that can be fixed here.
