All HD8950 bioses at TPU , are not verified. That's why i prefer to get it from you. An other thing , is that , your exact bios version is not uploaded to TPU. What brand is your card ? I didnt understand , why you mentioned about stickers ... Anyway. Please share that bios when you have some free time. Thanks

I suggest a split-thread for GRIFF's modification. From post 101 It deserves it's own thread.

hwbot forum problem
TASOS replied to wilmkes's topic in HWBOT Development: bugs, features and suggestions
What's wrong with the forum lately ? Have you disabled most of it's features ? Thanks are gone Smiles dont work Editor bar and buttons also Notifications and post quotes are off Dont know what else ... -
The general idea , is to have pure stages. We dont want ... and we dont need any kind of adapters All we want is free time and a good mood ... to have fun !!! No need to hunt lost unicorns. Now To be specific regarding your question. I dont know of any kind of adapters from Slot-A to something else. But if there is ... it's forbidden

Mainly , to avoid Asrock "alchemies" ASRock > K8Upgrade-NF3 ASRock > K8Upgrade-VM800 ASRock > K8Upgrade-1689 with this special card ASRock > Products > am2cpu board and also this one ASRock > K8 Combo-Z

Hi everybody Hwbot forum is back ... and so are we Final plan , after last minute changes for this season OSiBS competition. // ROUND 1 - Socket 7 (1997) Mixed with Intel & AMD cpu's (All cpu's must be 0.35 micron fabrication). Desktop cpu's only. Intel P5 architecture (Pentium MMX series) AMD K6 architecture (Desktop K6 series) Stage-1 CPU-Z Validation - Max CPU speed Stage-2 SuperPI 1M Stage-3 CPU-Z Validation - Percentage OC % // ROUND 2 - Socket 370 (1998) (Mendocino cores only) (Non Intel chipset motherboards) (No server hardware allowed-only desktop products) Stage-1 CPU-Z Validation - Max CPU speed Stage-2 SuperPI 1M Stage-3 Wprime 32M // ROUND 3 - Slot A (1999) (Argon & Pluto core only) Stage-1 CPU-Z Reference Clock Stage-2 SuperPI 1M Stage-3 3DMark 2001 - GeForce 256 // ROUND 4 - Socket 423 (2000) (No adapters allowed) Stage-1 SuperPI 1M Stage-2 Wprime 32M Stage-3 Aida64 Memory Read Stage-4 3DMark 2001 - GeForce3 series // ROUND 5 - Socket 754 (2003) (No adapters allowed) Stage-1 SuperPI 1M Stage-2 HWBOT X265 1080P Stage-3 3DMark2003 - Nvidia series (Up to 6xxx series - single vga - single gpu only) Stage-4 FM Cloudgate - ATI AGP series //

Great video , i liked it !!!
-
We had socket 478 last year , that's why i chose socket 423 for this competition (socket 423 has the same Willamette core cpu's ... to be exact , it has only Willamette cores).
-
As long as the general rule , about server products in competitions applies. I want to follow hwbot guidance on this
-
My initial thought was to make an effort for pure stages. No adapters in any stage (if possible). So my proposal is for socket 370 boards and cpu's only. No Slot-1 , please. :celebration:
-
My bad , here. I had a limitation for this stage , that was lost in transfer from my notes. It's up to Nvidia 7xxx series Both AGP and PCI-E allowed.

Hi everybody Here follows the final plan , for this season OSiBS competition. Feel free to comment here or send me a pm , with your thoughts , or even things i might have overlooked. // ROUND 1 - Socket 7 (1997) Mixed with Intel & AMD cpu's (All cpu's must be 0.35 micron fabrication).

New ideas and proposals , are still welcome !!!
-
TASOS wants , from aaaall of you out there , (oldtimers or not) ... to make proposals. Propose , propose , propose I want to have a variety of proposals , to pick from Do your best :celebration:

I know that (GF 256) is a unique piece of hardware for old school fanatics , but it's kind of rare and expensive nowadays. I personally dont have a problem to include it into the competition. But it would be better if we find more supporters , to approve this vga for any stage or round. I hope more members will declare interest. If not , should we consider a cheap alternative of geforce2 MX series ? We'll see
-
Yes Please consider the criteria written by me above and also follow the general idea from websmile. Thanks
-
Max Please propose a complete round , considering the criteria mentioned above
-
Hi "old-schoolers" We need more proposals and ideas for this contest. Keep them coming. Lets try to keep them : Old school Fair and simple Common hardware Affordable in 2nd hand market Fun and interesting Lets do our best. I know that in the end , not all users will be satisfied and happy (that's almost impossible in such cases). But lets try to keep the majority happy.

We do not live in a perfect world. Think about it. People get weak ... and tempted. You can never verify a cpu bench speed (by distance). Hwbot moderators would not want to go through this.
-
We have done stages with lesser popularity in the past. Not to mention strange or awkward ... I love 2k1 , but i prefer 3D stages that do not depend on cpu speed or have less cpu impact. A member with good tweaking skills and a good modded vga , will never win a 2k1 stage , if his cpu is bad.
