It has a feature connector on it, but I'm not getting anything out of it when connecting it to my VFX-1 HMD (or a digitizer card -- so I know it isn't the card at the other side). Does anyone know why this might be? I don't have a manual for the video card, so maybe there is something in there about it if someone might check for me. Is the feature connector disabled by default? Can I enable it? I don't actually get "nothing" -- I think I get just a black screen, actually, but that's close to nothing. Any/all ideas appreciated!

Before adding the board I had things configured as follows: IRQ1 - keyboard 2/9 - com3 (i/o board) 3 - com2 4 - com1 5 - soundblaster compatibility on sound card 6 - floppy 7 - lpt1 10 - free (or so I thought!) 11 - sound card 12 - NCR/ASUS SCSI 14/15 - IDE I thought I had a free IRQ 10. But NO! I played with this for hours in all kinds of combinations. Finally I discovered the screen in the BIOS Setup that lets you indicate that some of the IRQs are used by ISA. So I set 10 to be used by ISA. Then my sound card stopped working -- the mystery device grabbed IRQ 11! So I set 11 to be used by ISA. After that I noticed Windows NT (winmsd) reporting that com3 was at IRQ 4 (shared with com1, which of course didn't work since the board was physically jumpered to 2). The mystery device had grabbed IRQ9! It seems that there is some device on the 55TP4XE that requires/steals an IRQ? Anyone have any insight? (Q: does an S3-based Diamond Stealth (PCI) take up an IRQ even though it isn't actually used?)

Has anyone had experience with >using slower ram with this bus speed? Is there anything that can be done to >make this combination work? This has become a frequently asked question Curtis. Essentially, its a crapshoot. Some 70ns-rated (often brand name) ram is generously rated and will work at 60. Alas, much of it won't. All you can do is try. However, since you're going to be spending approx $250 for a new CPU anyway, why not throw another $120 into the kitty and get the proper ram? If that's not an option, and you discover that your 70ns ram =isn't= going to cut the mustard, you can slow your clock speed to 60 Mhz and run your new P133 at 120 Mhz. That's kinda like throwing $50 in the toilet, since P120s are about $50 cheaper than a P133. My advice: Buy the P120 The real cost of purchasing the P133 will be the cost of the CPU itself plus the cost of new ram. By purchasing the P120 you can save yourself potentially $150-$175. Of course you could go on up to a P150 and still use the old ram. If your board is a P55TP4XE it will run all the way up to 166 Mhz even with the #5 socket.

This is quite obviously targeting the cost-sensitive home market. Of course Intel is going to price them as high as they believe they can, but it will have to be competitive with what else is availabe at the same performance level. > >Last part of your sentence; is MMX going to replace CD-ROM drives? >;-) This would be the MMX+ chip.

The benefits of disk cache for example, gives a system-wide performance boost regardless of the software or other hardware being used. Not so with MMX. It only works in specific areas and with only those apps written to take advantage of it. I'm sure there will be many gaps available to fill.

Specifically I need a Sony SEII 17" Monitor, Tyan Tomcat MB, CPU, Memory, Dynamite 128 Video card, etc. Could someone please recommend a_good_mail order or on-line company? I am looking for a repuatable, honest dealer with a very good return policy. (especially for the monitor) I know some even offer reduced shipping charges. Any ideas? Thanks!

Actually, Intel has been known to sell chips at lower clock speeds than they tested at just to meet demand! The main thing to worry about when overclocking is heat dissipation. If you can get rid of the heat you shouldn't have to worry to much about a shortened lifespan.

When we tried to use busmastering IDE for WIN95, the system got A LOT slower when starting and using WIN95. Does anyone know if this is a known problem or should it work in principle ? Does it matter wether or not you use the T2P4 or the T2P4N. Why would you want to use Busmastering at all you might ask ? Well i'd like to play MPEG files and it seems to me that the processor has better things to do (like decoding the MPEG video and audio) than getting the data from the harddisk/CDROM to memory.

First off the machine started and made it through POST. However, on the initial bios screen it misinterpreted the chip and thought it was running at 66mhz! Something like '6x86 at 66mhz'. I thought that odd of course, but ran some Ziff_Davis winbench benchmarks on it. Truly sad!

A lot of these places with limited stock operate on a shoe string inventory budget and fit all their inventory in one large garage size room.

Can someone help I have a similar setup that works fine. You should know that Win 95 is much more exacting (taxing?) on the hardware, especially in the area of memory. Any weaknesses in the RAM or configuration settings or the abilities of the P-chip to switch modes will be turned up by Windows much more readily than under plain DOS. >A fatal exception 0e has occured at 0028:c026c16b in vxd vwin32 (04)+ >00002ab7. The current application will be terminated I can always get a fatal exception 0e if I run my swap drive out of space. Check and see, you might be surprised to find out how big that swapfile can grow under the default settings, even on a 32 MB system. If it is not running out of disk space, then the likely culprits are: - corrupt files, perhaps do a clean re-install - faulty or poor connections mboard/ram or combination of these effects If it is at all possible, see if you can swap out the RAM. Also, I've found many various updates/drivers/patches for my similar system. Collect these and apply them. For example, Asus has a recent BIOS update, version 1.05 Also get the latest Diamond video drivers. There is a patch from Intel that allows Windows 95 to correctly detect the PIIX3 IDE controller on the T2P4.

Win 95 only comess with triton not triton 2 Hi, Don't know if this helps but here goes. I got the BMIDE_95.EXE driver from Asus and installed that. Got the Intel 82371SB in Control Panel. Then can't play VCDs. Then I d/loaded PATCH95.EXE from Tyan's site and installed that. And I got the Triton 2 drivers in Control Panel. Funny though, coz right after this, the CD-ROM disappeared. Up to you to experiment. -----ooo---- ** What I say is what I know..and what I know ain't much. ** Windows NT powered by AsusTek T2 and Intel P166 Path: asustek.asus.com.tw!voyager.iii.org.tw!nctuccca.edu.tw!news.edu.tw!news.sprintlink.net!news-stk-3.sprintlink.net!news-res.gsl.net!news.gsl.net!nntp.coast.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-stk-200.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-pen-14.sprintlink.net!jaring.my!usenet From: dpkong@pc.jaring.my (Donald P Kong) Newsgroups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus Subject: Re: Want to replace Gateway 2000 tower w/ Asus -- advice?

If the ports for things like mouse, video, printer etc. are all lined up in a straight line near the bottom of the computer, you may have a proprietary m/board and case and may not fit either the AT or ATX formats that Asus supply. The decision is yours but a dealer may be more help. -----ooo---- ** What I say is what I know..and what I know ain't much. ** Windows NT powered by AsusTek T2 and Intel P166 Path: asustek.asus.com.tw!voyager.iii.org.tw!nctuccca.edu.tw!news.edu.tw!news.sprintlink.net!news-stk-3.sprintlink.net!news-res.gsl.net!news.gsl.net!nntp.coast.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-stk-200.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-pen-14.sprintlink.net!jaring.my!usenet From: dpkong@pc.jaring.my (Donald P Kong) Newsgroups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus Subject: Re: EPROM Protection Jumper Date: Thu, 01 Aug 1996 14:36:46 GMT Organization: Huh??

Does IMD have an e-mail address?

I've had good experience with HARMONY COMPUTERS in New York and CDW. Harmony has very aggressive pricing and carries only selected items but they shipped when they said they would. ALWAYS use a major credit card when shopping mailorder. You have much better recourse in the event something goes wrong. As for purchasing a big item such as a monitor, these things are so heavy that there is always a possibility for damage in shipment. I'm somewhat of a video purist myself and refuse to accept a poorly aligned CRT. For this reason I chose to purchase the monitor locally and simply arm-twisted for the best price. We opened up the monitor at the store & hooked it up to make sure it was satisfactory before taking it home. When you're dropping a thousand bucks on a fine 17-in monitor, this is something you just do.... Yes, I could have saved a hundred bucks or so, counting tax, but having a local shoulder to cry on means something when the investment is substantial.
