Re: GeForce + 133 mhz BUS + Voodoo II = Locked up system!!!! ?

The V2 is a PCI card, the 1/4 divider will correctly set the PCI bus is at 33Mhz. Some AGP cards have trouble working on overclocked AGP ports. Running a BX chipset at 133 FSB would give you a 89Mhz AGP speed (2/3). This can cause lockups with some cards. None of that applies to you because the P3V4X is designed to run at 133 Mhz, with a 1/2 AGP divider giving you a proper AGP speed of 66Mhz. It should work fine, a friend of mine has the same mobo overclocked to 145Mhz with a TNT and a V2, no problems.

Hi, I've been considering getting a new GeForce 2 GTS card to replace my old TNT first generation 16 meg AGP card. I've got some older games that require GLIDE, so I've got a Voodoo II 12 meg PCI Piggy-Back board that I'd like to run with this new system. I'm planning on getting a PIII 933 with a ASUS-P3V4X motherboard, but I've heard that the VII will lock up with this type (133mhz bus) system! Has anyone had any experiences with this occurring, or getting an older VII to run on a 133 MHz bus motherboard? Thanks in advance for the help! Jay J
