Hi,


I just bought a new graphics card. An Asus V7100 with GeForce MX. Before I used my old Voodoo 3 PCI for a couple of time (they had problems with shipping the Asus card). All other components were already here, so I decided to use the old card unitl the new one was shipped.
Now I notice an interesting thing. With the old video card my system wouldn't go higher than 1466MHz (133x11), 1450MHz (145x10) was also possible. At any higher clock speed the Sysem won't even boot or at least get Windows 2000 bluescreens with some memory error.
Altough the CPU ran with 1,775V at 1466MHz and with temperatures between 37° and 39°.
I will try to rise the voltage and see if I can go any further. Could it be that the old PCI video card was just not capable of running at a higher PCI Clock (with 145MHz FSB the PCI bus runs 34MHz).
