I recently used DUET to boot Win10 from a PCIex4 card on an Intel 965 chipset LGA775 motherboard with a legacy BIOS and no EFI. It gets close to the rated 2 GB/s one would expect for PCI 2.0. Woot! Very nice for a motherboard whose SATA tops out at level II, and IDE at 130MB/s. Then, greedly, I...
Hello there,
Link to all my 4Core stuff. Cannot remember much, but I guess one of the flash tools in there ought to do the job (if you are still looking one year later). If not, hang on, because believe it or not....
* I just bought a 4CoreDual-SATA2 R2.0 for my Retro Gaming 2 rig for Win98SE...
After extensive testing, it is clear my dear 4CoreDual-VSTA is dead. The reason is that I swapped in an HIS HD 4670 IceQ AGP card that I bought off eBay and which was not giving me any signal on the board it was intended for, my ASRock 775i65G. Both boards were fried by the card! The HIS card...
I have my 4Core temporarily mothballed and am now on an X99 Extreme6. Of course there are some amazing differences, but I continue to be impressed by the performance and longevity of these boards. After all, this thread was started in 2009 to keep the boards 'alive,' as they were already long in...
If you need AGP, the Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2 is the best among the boards in this thread. It is no longer listed by ASRock, but by searching you should be able to find one for sale. The only AGP board still actively sold by ASRock I could possibly suggest is the 775i65g v3.0, but that is a DDR1...
As for the advanced age of this thread, it speaks to the great results from this series of PT880 boards. Mine allowed me to transition to Core2 at a minimum investment, and then make small improvements. Made it to 2014 with a fantastic, smooth Win7 running fine, and with gaming still enjoyable...
The pics in the linked articles are all I have as reference. I'd try appealing directly on the VR-Zone forums if you can't find something.
The board is designed for 1066, not 1333, and officially does not support that. The best overclocks, however, have reached 340 FSB and above, but always...
I've heard of cards as late as the HD6850 working if you are on the latest pc-treiber BIOS (search this thread). Don't know about that particular NVidia card; the 8800GT was not PCIe 1.1 backward compatible and didn't work, but to my knowledge, later cards work.
I use a 460 GT...
See here for the right guide, which is actually for the 775dual-vsta. Follow the link. There are still links with pictures of solder points.
Good luck with that CPU. Pls report back any results, but note that achieving a high FSB on this board is notably difficult.
@Deleauvive,
Found this small thread seemingly reporting the same issue on one version of these boards, though which is not identified.
The responder providing support seems to think there is an issue with the PSU 5v output. Have you checked your voltage reads in the BIOS or from Windows with...
VIA IDE/SATA Driver, Win7x64 or x86
Forgot to mention. After testing for stability, the best drivers are those provided by MS. If you try the newer Hyperion (2.70a iirc), you also get the hot-plug feature that, at least for my 4Core, is big trouble. It did not pass verifier.exe driver...
Hope you enjoy, guys. Haven't used it for a while, too busy. On the Apollo Pro I used it to find a setting for flushing HD that was getting set wrong in the driver, and upped disk performance a lot. For this chipset, confess I've played around, but have been a bit busy, so no pointers unless I...
If anyone is interested in exploring BIOS settings post-boot, here is a handy tool. Works best if you have a copy of the PT880 datasheets, but those you'll need to request from VIA.
Been tweaking with tools like this since the Apollo Pro chipset. Handy.
PS - Allows you to tweak things not even...
