Hello,
I am new here on this page, and i hope that you can help me.
I have a delicate situation. I own a voodoo5 6000 ( as 3dfx collector ), a prototype card, witch works in a hand of Mobos ( AGP 3.3V ).
One of them, and the best, reliable and stable are from EPOX, 8K5A2, 8K3A - socket A ( KT333 ).
Well, i have these boards, but the card refuse to start in them.
The card start in another board, an ECS K7VTA3 ( v5 ), but is not so stable as the EPOX.
So that i put the ECS bios into the EPOX board, and the system start !!!
I believe that it's a bios settings ( timmings ) that can be updated so that my card will work on EPOX boards.
Can somebody compare these bioses, to see the differences ?
Anyone can help me here ?
Thanks.
Radu.
