    Oldie but a Goldie Question - Asus P2B

    Glad it worked out for you. The Asus P2B is amazing. Mko. P.S. Make sure you update your bios to the latest version (Beta Bios 1014 I think).

    Oldie but a Goldie Question - Asus P2B

    That's indeed one of the articles I was thinking of, but it doesn't give information in their table regarding the voltage setting that you need (1.8 V). What I would do, is first try the Slot 1 PIII in your motherboard. If it doesn't work, than we can start thinking about alternatives. There...

    Oldie but a Goldie Question - Asus P2B

    I wouldn't give up quite yet. The P2B has such potential, and it would be a pity to let it sit idly.... Try it out first. Worst case scenario, it won't boot. I seem to remember reading that some rev. 1.10 P2B's might actually be able to output below 1.8 V. Your other option, and this is...

    Oldie but a Goldie Question - Asus P2B

    Goobee.... The situation is a little bit more complex than Yield would lead you to believe. There have been several excellent threads in this forum which will answer your question in depth; I suggest you do a search for them. I will say however, that depending on the revision of the P2B that...

    I want to setup a dualboot system (W2K and Linux), but am concerned with my PCI ultra100 drive controller

    Here's my situation. I'm currently running W2K on my PIII 933, using an Asus P2B mobo, with a Promise Ultra100 PCI Hard drive controller. My concern is this: When my system boots up, after the bios boot screen, it goes straight into a Promise controller bios screen, which gives me the details...

    ASUS P2B-B Question.. Urgent!!

    CeeKay, your revision of the P2B should be able to run coppermine processors with no problem. The only requirement that you have to meet is to get a FCPGA version, and use a slotket that allows you to manipulate voltage (and manually set it to 1.8 V). The 100 MHz FSB - 1GHz PIII FCPGA you were...

    Radeon LE @ 89MHz???

    I think it was called Keit computers. It's located on Sheppard, close to Victoria Park. I know that they had PIII 700E processors as recently as a month ago. But these are becoming hard processors to find. You got to act quickly! Mko.

    ASUS P2B-B Question.. Urgent!!

    SuperSix, you are absolutely right. Andy rules. Largely because of Andy, I'm running a 3 year old motherboard at 933 MHz right now. I'm thinking of naming my first born AndyHui!!! :) Andy, you said CSC/TSD. What do those stand for? And, inquiring minds want to know: are you an Asus...

    ASUS P2B-B Question.. Urgent!!

    If you're using a FCPGA chip with a slocket adapter, manually set the voltage on the adapter to 1.8 V. The default voltage on PIII is 1.7 V (for cC0 stepping PIII's), and the minimum voltage many P2B revisions can support is 1.8 V. HOpefully you're using a FCPGA chip, as well as a slocket that...

    Radeon LE @ 89MHz???

    Hey, I responded to your other thread already... but.. where in Canada do you live? In toronto I just got a PIII 700E (about a month ago). Cheap. ($199CAD). Plus, it overclocked to 933 no prob. Mko.

    OCing P2B w/ Radeon LE

    I've heard it said that running your AGP bus run overclocked at 89 MHz, on a motherboard (like the P2B) which only supports AGP 2X, is the equivalent of having AGP 3X.... I currently have a similar setup, with my P2B running at 133, and using an old TNT videocard. No problems here. Note that...

    IRQ not less or equal

    I had the identical error when I used older WHQL certified detonator drivers. As soon as I upgraded to newer (albeit beta) drivers, the blue screens went away. I would begin with changing your drivers first (before pulling anything out). Start with your video drivers. If the problems...

    You know what pisses me off? improperly scaled axes in hardware reviews...

    I think that my comment of significance (in the scientific sense) is one that is important. Sure, one bar is greater than another bar. But is it STATISTICALLY different? I've read many scientific journals over the past few years (I'm finishing up a MSc), and I've never seen the use of axes in...

    You know what pisses me off? improperly scaled axes in hardware reviews...

    If the maximum FPS is 50, and a new piece of hardware gives you a score of 51.... well.... if you started your axis at 49, the graph would show you an ENORMOUS difference between the two pieces of hardware. when in reality, the difference is negligible. In fact, the difference may not be even...

    You know what pisses me off? improperly scaled axes in hardware reviews...

    Without mentioning any specific reviews (I don't remember any here at Anandtech being offenders...), I'm tired of seeing reviews in which they plot bar graphs where the x-axis coordinates don't start at 0. It's entirely unacceptable. In no reputable scientific journal would you see an x-axis...
