Poll: 89Mhz AGP bus success/failure...

[HigherGround]

Well, since BX133 became a real viable options for many users (allowed by both better PC133 memory and improvements to PIII CPUs (via the new stepping)), I decided to conduct a public poll that would help users of this board, who are either considering BX133 or running BX133, but are thinking about a possible video card upgrade with their selection(s). So with that in mind please post your success or failure result in the following format:

----------------------------------
SUCCESS/FAILURE
Video Card (Chipset)
Comments: (i.e. if it wasn't stable from the getgo what did You have to do to get it stable)
----------------------------------

Please, if the system failed to dance at 89Mhz (133FSB), but You are not 100% sure that it was the video card's fault DO NOT POST IT HERE. If I get more than 10 responses to this thread I will try to tally up the results by maker and chipset in the original post.

I'll start...

----------------------------------
SUCCESS
Hercules 3D Prophet DDR (NV10 DDR)
Stable from day one at 89Mhz AGP (max stable tested and passed - 92Mhz). Tested on SOYO 6BA+IV and MSI BX Master.
----------------------------------
SUCCESS
3dfx Voodoo3 2000 (V3)
Stable from day one at 89Mhz AGP (did not test any higher). Tested on SOYO 6BA +IV.
----------------------------------

Soon will test CLA2 on BX Master, when it gets here from Anaheim

----------------------------------
SUCCESS
Creative Labs Annhilator GF2 32MB

V3 3000, AGP 89MHz, Asus BE2, works, but with artifacts

Runs without problems at 82MHz

 

[apoppin]

PASS
Rage Fury 32 (P3 600E@800Mhz/Abit BX6-r.2/128MB Crucial CAS 2 PC133)
Works fine at 133 FSB. Became unstable at 138FSB.

PASS
Asus V6600 GeForce 256 32MB (Same system as above).
Stable at 133 &amp; 138 FSB.

(Comments: After owning the Rage Fury for over a year, I was a little surprised to see the ATI card holding its own against the GeForce. The GeForce IS better but not overwhelmingly so.)

PASS
Diamond V770 Ultra (TNT2U)
MS-6163PRO motherboard
