3dfx Archive - MSI MS-6168

Tritop Full Member Offline «» 3dfx Collector «» Posts: 175	MSI MS-6168 11.09.09 at 11:00:17 Hi Guys! I have bought a MS 6168. I have several Adapters for Socket 370 to Slot 1 Support. Is it possible to run a 1300MHz Celeron Tualatin on a standard board with a standard Bios with an adapter? Would a test damage the board? What modification would I need if not? Which BIOSes are safe to flash on the Board? greetings to my 3dfx colleagues!

The risk of damage is low, but I wouldn't take a chance if that was my only MSI 3dfx board. available. Short story - try to find another CPU.

I could be wrong however. ( I can verify that cpu worked with my 6168 )

\The BX chipset supports this cpu, see this old page-

There are sellers who have the Powerleap unit which is your best bet as it has the power regulator built in.\

Is this the right one?

http://ebay.keeneyedeals.com/img/20090610/IMG_3695.JPG

I also upgraded the system:

Pentium 2 450MHz FSB100
256MB PC133

It is a huge difference compared to the 333MHz FSB66 !

But I get no sound.

I tried several soundblaster cards and the onboard. I don´t have the right drivers.

One time I installed everything correctly but I had to turn my speakers aaaall the way up to hear "a bit of noise/sound"

Very weak.

Right now I have a CT4810 Creative Card installed. I am trying to get the right drivers but I don´t even know the name of the model...

Ensoniq? SB16??
