Ok, found a Leadtek 6600 BIOS. It flashed fine and at startup it says Winfast 6600 but in windows the driver still installs as a 6200 and I still had to use Rivatuner to unlock the pipes. So, I guess the bios flash was a bust.

DrJay, how did you finally manage to get yours to unlock?
I have a Chaintech 6200 AGP that no matter what I try I can't get it to unlock at all.
In Rivatuner, on the 'customize' screen for masked pixel pipelines, select unit 0. Also, as somebody said they did earlier in this thread, I enabled units 16,17,18 and 19. I'm not sure what those units are or why that helped but it was the only thing that did for me.
Although, that was before Rivatuner 15.4 came out.

I was using Rivatuner 15.2 and 75.90 drivers. Try those before you flash the bios.
guys, do you know what type of memory is on msi 6200 td-e 128 mb pci express?
cause they only have that brand near my house and I would like to buy it as fast as I can :)
Thanks a lot
evil - all 6200's have TSOP style DDR1 ram, not sure whether it would be 4 or 3.6ns though. The results have been similar however despite the ns's, so pick it up and start oc'ing :)
ok i'm going to buy it tonight but I don't have any pci express motherboard at the moment :(
only agp :(
waiting for my giga k8nf-9 on tuesday I think.
I'll tell you how much I can overclock it and mod it with screenies and with my Winchester@ 2750 mhz :D
Although I hate to admit it... AB86 is right. :worship:Quote:

Can I do hardware mods on the graphic card while waiting for my new motherboard ?
evil - general rule of thumb, i'd say wait until you get the card in to a pci-x mobo and seeing how far it'll clock before doing any mods - first off because you don't know if the card is perhaps defective and doing a mod would void the warranty, and second of all its good to see what kind of gains you get from a mod (eg. your max overclock without mod then max with mod). The only hardware mod we've figured out so far is the vmem mod, which you can see in this pic.

Its pretty straight forward and an easy solder being that the legs are spaced out pretty far. Good luck with the card!
thanks men :)
I can't see the vmod picture, can you give me the correct link?
thanks a lot ;)
sorry, typo in my link :P its up now :toast:
thanks :)
do you think that buying a 6600 Non Gt would give me same score compared to 6200 cos there is only 30 $ difference between these 2 graphic cards.
I could try to go for 8 pipe with 6600 Non GT too and to grab more points on 3dmark 01/03/05 isnt it?
theres 2 reasons i say stick with the 6200...you can easily unlock the 4 extra pipes making it a 6600. Also, 6200 have been getting higher memory clocks then 6600's. You won't be disappointed with a $100 card - its a great deal...enjoy
ok ;)
i'll listen to you then :D
I'll order my 6200 tomorrow :D
I've been very happy with mine.
