Oh this version does not have te fix anymore.
I'll add it as an option and will keep you informed.

what ever happened to the Aopen 915GM "Alviso" mobo. Wasn't there talk of it appearing this month???
Would be much appreciated!Quote:

EDIT:
I think I also spotted a new (DFI?) 855GME board in a cebit pic. It LOOKS like a DFI board (color of AGP/dimm slots, SB cooler used, and the presence of a [64-bit?] PCI slot between the two regular ones), and has a socket 478 retention bracket! Yay! If this is what it seems to be (a new DFI board), hopefully it will have a nice BIOS to go with the cooler retention bracket...
But on discouraging note, the board looks like its basically exactly like the old AOpen board... no new features. Might just be like the AOpen board but with a better BIOS...
There's a page for the board on the Aopen website. They need to just push it out the door. I want one.
i want two! come on AOPEN! There is a demand, give use the board!
Here's that link to the aopen site for that 915gm motherboard:
http://global.aopen.com.tw/products/mb/i915GMm-HFS.htm :slobber:
It seems to be out in japan for I have seen them being sold in some japanese e-tailers. Still hasn't hit our shores yet. Been waiting to build a lil old dothan that could o/c. :D
Version 1.02 is online :
http://www.cpuid.com/download/CG-ICS950813.zip
And run it with the following parameter :
CG-ICS950813.exe -fix
It should fix the AGP/PCI.
If you can point me to a Japanese shop that has them in stock, I'll get my friend to send one to me. I'd love to be ahead of the tech curve for once.Quote:

Hmm, it doesnt seem to work for me (probably user error though lol), if I create a shortcut with -fix doesnt work and if I run straight from a dos prompt the same, the agp rate rises. However if I move from 66mhz in the bios to 7xmhz it seems to work fine, but am not sure if thats the bios working or clockgen (this was all done on a 3:5 divider)Quote:

ps, i'm on the aopen board.
Try going HERE . It seems to be a list of places selling the board. Not sure since I haven't translated the page. I'm not sure of the currency exchange either, but probably cost close to $300US. Let me know if you get it, see how it runs. :p:
It'll probably be close to $350 if those shops do really have it in stock. I'll check with my friend and see what he has to say.
Yep, it was user error. The agp lock appears to be working but now I get much less of an overclock :confused:Quote:

AGP surely is not locked cause i have slow down effect and 3D 2K1 lobby does crash. [that i have not w/ 33/66 bios fix only=not fixing at all]
At least w/ my aopen. :)
Weird that 3:5 is more stable than 3:4. :/ (w/ 3:4 163 max [like w/ 37/75])

Ciao
cheers Qu3Xu5 !!!
Did you get massive decrease in 3dmark or just "little bit"?Quote:

The lobby is highly system intensive test, puts a lot of strain on the CPU. If the vid card is having trouble it would likely to fail in Drago.
i'm pretty sure all recent chipsets have pci frequency as 1/2 of agp frequency (not sure how its done on pcie stuff though, it would be neat to find out, maybe its 1/3 of pcie freqency)
yep massive decrease. w/ 3:4 133 FSB lobby does crash. w/ 3:5 133 FSB lobby does crash. w/ 3:4 or 3:5 fixing to 33/66 in bios only [does not work that is sure] lobby does not crash. Only lobby does crash but only at "real" 33/66 and 37/75. w/ 44/88 only up to 138 does not crash.Quote:

Now i can go higher. :) [as you can see in the pic above]
Ciao
It would seem I'm finally getting somewhere:
http://img87.exs.cx/img87/1953/untitled8wb.jpg
However I cant get over 150fsb or it turns into lag city and I cant post the agp any higher than using the 74 lock.
Am I right in assuming i'd avoid the lag if I got my hands on a pci sound card and an nvidia graphics card?
Err, how come some people get it to around 170, and some not even get it to post above 133 MHz? I think it was the x86-secrets guys that clocked it to upwards 170 MHz, without the PCI/AGP busses locked to 33/66 MHz.Quote:

My bench above is with the onboard sound disabled and the agp locked to 74, I think the lock ceases when I go past 150fsb then the lagging occurs. This is with a 9800 pro installed that I know doesnt like high agp rates. I did the volt mod on the cpu socket and that made no difference at all so i'm ruling the cpu limitation out.
