rec.autos.simulators

 I have downloaded tweak bios and used it last night.don't know if it work
at all. I tried it today with some differant results when i enable some
stuff.  I get a winolap thingy failure message when i do to much. should i
just hit tweak.exe and then hit f10 to apply it then quit?. Also i' ve
heard people say then run testdma What the heck is that because i don't
have it? shouldn't it have come with tweak bios or nascar2? I'd like to
find out if my bios is running faster...      Thanks

I would advise you to grab DMATEST and run it first to check your DMA
score. If your getting 30s or worse then try the TWEAK utility and
only start out with enabling PCI STREAMING. Then run DMATEST again.
Don't forget to use TWEAK each time you reboot as the settings you
apply with it go away upon shutdown.

Hope this helps,
Ron

: I can't give you any help or advice at this point with the memory
: timing, ect... settings however, I can say that enabling PCI STREAMING
: was the trick for me as this option was not listed in my system bios
: settings and by using tweak, I am able to gain a 2X increase in DMA.
: You can find the Utility [DMATEST] on many "rendition" sites including
: Eric's at: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/utilities.html

I am curious, even though DMATEST reports a doubling in DMA speed, did
you actually see any results in NASCAR2 or ICR2?  When I tested it,
there was NO increased frame rate in either N2 or ICR2.  Even though
DMATEST reported double the transfer.

thanks all give that site a look thru.. Oh when i hit tweakbios. there's
only two things that arn't turned on and there ain't even a PCI SREAMIN on
it.... i must have differant bios than AMI,or AWARD.....

Does this tweak program work on a Pentium Pro system? And if so... where is
it available?

I downloaded the file and have the same problem.   I have a Tyan VX
motherboard and AWARD Bios.
