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 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 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 http://www3.pgh.net/~lazer

When I tested it, there was NO increased frame rate in either N2 or ICR2. Even though DMATEST reported double the transfer. -- **************************** Michael E.

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. >thanks all give that site a look thru..
