Ok, I've not had luck with selecting motherboards for what I'm trying to do, so I have decided to ask you folks.

I have an ultra low voltage Athlon XP-M (currently pinmodded to 2.4ghz due to my poor motherboard, and still cold [8D]), and a bunch of 3dfx cards with an AGP 3.3v requirement. I would like to know what the best motherboard for overclocking XP-M processors which has support for old 3.3v AGP cards is. I intend to also get an absurdly large amount of DDR memory that can handle a fsb overclock to work with it.

Toss some ideas at me please. :)

EDIT: It's actually the same motherboard as in my signature, but the fsb thing didn't work out, so it's 24x 100mhz now.

Voodoo4/5 Discussions / Voodoo 5500 and Steam
19 August 2008, 03:24:30
Is there some way to get the Steam version of the original Half-Life to run on a Voodoo 5500? I can get it to open with the 3dfx Community drivers (1.08.04) but I can't change any video settings, and it's very slow.

Also, I'd like to know if there's a driver that supports DirectX 8, because I'm trying to get TF2 to run on my Voodoo. XD

Modding and overclocking / Athlon XP-M on a KT333
18 February 2008, 06:43:11
I'm trying to build a voodoo machine on an MSI KT3 Ultra2-R board with a 35watt XP-M 2400+ (to overclock, of course).

It will work fine with an older 1500+, but I can't get it to boot with the mobile. It's not even POSTing. The motherboard will boot up (the power switch will shut it off after 5 seconds) but there is no post screen, and I don't know what the problem is. There is no beep code, nothing.

Has anyone done this before?

I am trying to use a voodoo 5 5500 in a PCCHIPS M811 motherboard, and I cannot get it to boot past the summary screen, right before it SHOULD start windows. I just swapped out my x1600 to try it out, and it's not booting at all. I have it set to agp 2x, with video bios shadowing disabled, with 512mb of 266mb ddr memory, and a 333mhz FSB 2600+ running at 1.5 ghz (2000+, 266 mhz FSB). I have windows 2003 server installed. Anyone have any ideas?
