140MHz FSB (BX board) and G400?

[el_bruto]

or is the Matrox G400 be able to work with AGP 2x on AGP=93MHz ??? (PIII500@770 )

Ask your local witch doctor to rattle the bones to predict success. In other words, you'll have to try.

[el_bruto]

yeah, so I will try (because now it is working at AGP 1x....), I just wanna know if there is chance to success (btw: my witch doctor is using liver for predicting future

Both a vanilla and a Max maxed out at 92mhz on my board, a Soyo SY6BA+IV. Since they both had the same limit, though, it might be the north bridge and not the cards. AGP 2x with sidebanding. Going to 93mhz produces a lock-up a few seconds into 3dmark. Can run Word, AOL, etc. up to 100mhz, though.

Liver? Ouch, no wonder you're asking!

You'll be beating the odds if you get it working, but the odds have been beaten before...

[mkaresh]

Just noticed your math. To get a 500 to 770 you'll need an AGP over 100mhz if this is a BX board. Are you starting with a 550 perhaps?

[el_bruto]

sooo.... I tied, and no problem with AGP 2x at 770 (AGP=93)

tRied

[Scytale]

There's nothing like beating the odds

Yeah i got my g400 running at 140 FSB on a be6. No problems

Tried pushing it to 150 FSB but ocassionally hangs in windows, not that stable.

My g400 max runs at 100 AGP with everything enabled,yes agp x 2 and sidebanding.

I had to increase my IO voltage from 3.3 to 3.5 to achieve this,but it does it flawlessly
in qIII and anything else I can throw at it,this was done on an abit bf-6.
