Yes, I've just checked. I already have the latest bios.

I have celeron 433 cpu, 192 MB ram, voodoo3 3000 @190Mhz, dx 9.0, 4.12.01.1213 version of drivers (they were on CD I got with v3 card). I was wondering which DirectX should I use. I was using DirectX 8.1, and when I installed 9.0 i noticed slight drop of 3DMark score (99 max). How should I know in the future (if I change something in my PC) which DirectX is best choice for my computer? How that depends on cpu, memory, graphics card, driver version? I believe this is something people should know.

I'm trying to find a 533 Mhz celeron (max for my mb), but it's hard. I'll try to find a bigger cooler, and i'll try again. My case is ALWAYS open and temperature in my room is always around 18°c so the airflow shouldn't be a problem. The most stupid thing is: mb's manual says that this mb supports ONLY celeron cpu's. Can you believe that?
#19
Yes, I've read it. It's all about clock generator. I can't make it run at 75 Mhz. All other CG's are able to work at 75, but this one is NOT. I have some stupid cooler, so 83 Mhz FSB is just a dream. Stupid machine!

Damn clock generator! I've tried BusRacing but it does not support my clock generator. No help! Thanks guys.
#21
I know which clock generator I have. It's IC-Works W149H. SoftFSB did not work until I selected the right one (I've found it on MB). But the slider in SoftFSB jumps from 66 to 83. I can't select 75! I don't know why.

I have Intel BI440ZX mb with celeron 433 cpu. With this mb it's almost impossible to overclock cpu. But I've installed SoftFSB and now it is possible(just software OC). The problem is: I can't make the FSB to run at 75 Mhz, only 66, 83, 100... 66 is normal with this CPU, but 83 is too much (539 Mhz!!!). 75 would be a fine choice, and system would not crash after 10 sec as it is so with 83 Mhz FSB. Is there a solution?

Check this out!
I have v3 3k @ 190Mhz, celeron 433, 192 MB ram, win98se, dx 8.1. I've installed 3dmark 99 max (full) to do some testing. I scored 2950 3d marks with old drivers (don't know version), and then I tried with the drivers I got with v3 card (4.12.01.1213). Result changed to 3320. It's OK, I guess the drivers are better. I even got more fps in Q3Arena (timedemo). BUT!!! I downclocked my v3 to 125 Mhz, just for fun, to see the 3dmark result. IT'S A SAME! Q3Arena is much slower, fill rate droped down for almost 50%, but 3dmark score isn't changed. How is that possible???
I've just downloaded Amigamerlin 2.9. Is that a good choice?

I know, that's stupid.
Save this as a .reg file, and when you want tv-out enabled just run it and restart the computer.
>>
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Display\0001\TV]
"enabled"=dword:00000001
"priorbootTV"=dword:00000000
"hposition"="78"
"vposition"="50"
"size"="2"
"mode"="0"
"brightness"="0"
"saturation"="0"
"filter"="0"
<<

Copy this (without >> and <<) and paste to a new .reg file
To disable tv-out change the "enabled"=dword:00000001 to "enabled"=dword:00000000 and run file again and restart. I think that this only works with win 98.
Have fun!

I have v3 3000 oveclocked to 190 Mhz. It's not so hot, because I put a 50mm fan on the heatsink (about 50°C on the gpu). But before I put the fan it was so damn hot (over 70°C for sure). Now, heatsink is about 25°C when i don't play games, and about 35-40°C when I play something. Im satisfied with these numbers, but does anyone what is the normal working temperature for these cards when they are not overclocked? (and without fan)
#26
Did you try to flash your voodoo card? If not, do it. It's very simple. I'm using 2.15.12 bios (modified by DRAMinit). If you are going to flash it, download the recovery tool too (in case something goes wrong, and read the instructions!!!)

PEOPLE!
WIN XP is not good for playing games! Win 98 is still the best choice.
I have celeron 433, 128 megs of ram, 3 GB HD, voodoo3 3000 (oc to 190 Mhz) win 98, dx 9.0a. In CS fps goes between 70 in large areas to 230 in houses. Use WickedGl, it helps!
