Socket 7 + ASUS Geforce

[slave]

I now Feel That I am among the best learned when it comes to ASUS Geforce cards but I still do Have some questions, and things to learn.
I use a super Socket 7 Mother Board (k6BV3+ from DFI and I was wondering If the ASUS V6800 Geforce cards will work good with them. A person who works for ASUS has told me that ASUS does not recommend the use of SUPER SOCKET 7 boards, with their products.
He told me that It may work fine, but there is also a chance that my MoBo may cause something going screwy.

My MoBo is from the Later 1999 timer period, and is a really good Super Socket 7 Main Board (better then most others that I have seen, yes better than most ASUS SS7 main boards)

Here are some of the stats:
VIA® Apollo MVP3 AGP chipset, 1MB Pipeline Burst Cache, 4 PCI/3 ISA/1 AGP, UltraDMA/33, 3x168pin DIMM, AT/ATX Power Connector, AT Form Factor.

Can someone please help me with this, or direct me where I can get help?

[Richard R.]

Wish I could help!
Maybe you can help me for a minute!

I just started today trying to figure out what I have. This comp was given to me. It is old.
Motherboard is a V5.2A
It has 96MB Ram
CyrixInstead 6x86(tm) SOCKET 7 VXPRO+, this chipset is a relabeled VIA Apollo VPX chipset, says one source

Anyway my real question to you is this, how did you determine all the info you have for your system. A particular site, or what.I have questions out there with hardware central on the support and also motherboard areas.
Not getting much support there yet. Maybe you can shed some light on some things for me.
I have other info but didn't want to overcrowd you in your search!

Thanks
Rich

The best thing to do is reasearch (some things you just can't FIND The answer for!) you should first try reading you'r motherboards manual, Twice!! Then try bring up a search for old websites of stores that used to cell your MotherBoard or you CPU (or whatever else you're trying to find) and see if they have info, Try the webpage for the company that owns the product, email their technical support, and ask them for the info you need! You can also try just searching for the product on the internet (this ussually brings up sites of people who build PC's they may have info on their site) but you'll have to search for info on the product. If you're lucky you'll find a spec sheet, or a chart with the features.

Try this page it may help you with finding out some basic info to help you get started: Click Here

Cyrix support: tech_support@cyrix.com or go to this SITE

A site you can go to (But I doubt you'll find your board on it I have checked (but im not entierly sure what type of board you use so best check it out) Specs for many MoBo's

a good MoBo site (but probally not what your looking for Motherboards At home world

I have been searching abit for some info on your setup but its hard to find!
some hardware is easier to find information for, than others!

I am sorry this probally didn't help very much, you probally have tried the above suggestions.

since I have no idea what your problem is I can't give an effective answer, but you could try this page Cyrix 6x86 FAQ

email me for more help i'd to glad to try to help you! (click on email me button at top of this posting!)

Remember, that k6-2 450 fpu doesn't catch up with GeForce performance, you could get the same framerates in both low and high resolutions.
