Hi guys,
First off, thanks a LOT Mattman for taking the time to post this info. It's really appreciated and has answered a lot of questions about the AGP thing

.

glc, (everyone else too!) I have 4Mb S3 ViRGE PCI and a 16Mb Blaster Banshee PCI that I could use instead of the AGP. My CAS latency is set to 3. I had it at 2 when I first built this thing but the BIOS suggested setting it to 3....I would assume that the Blaster is a 'good' card at higher than spec PCI slot speeds.

Is this the case? Has anyone run a Blaster PCI at 133 FSB. I need to know because if I use it, and push the FSB to 133 AND the PC dies, then how will I know if it's the card or RAM or both (AGAIN!).....you see what I mean???

I suppose it could be a question of 'Will PC100 RAM run at 133?.

Regardless, I'll try the Blaster later this afternoon and see what happens. But I'll see if anyone responds FIRST before I do it.

Thanks a mill guys for all the help and info

.

Yours

Declan (aka fredwest)
