Titolo: Asus P5A + Viper550 AGP

Da quando ho la Diamond Viper 550 come scheda video ho cominciato ad
avere problemi, con tutti gli S.O. i driver pur essendo aggiornati non
fruttano la stabilita' che mi serve.
Con win9x era un blocco del sistema che causava la "fotografia" dello
schermo, con WinNT4(sp6), ottengo un dump della memoria al momento del
sorgere del problema.
Il difetto avviene in maniera random.
Mi chiedevo se qualcuno ha risolto questo problema, di seguito lascio la
mia configurazione HW:
Asus P5a Socket 7 100Mhz
AMD K6 II 3Dnow 350 Mhz
Diamon Viper 550 16Mb TNT
Controller Adaptec SCSI 2940
128 Mb Ram 100 Mhz
SB Live
Ethernet Genius 10Mb/s
1000Grazie !!

fruttano la stabilita' che mi serve.
Pare che il chipset Ali sia irrimediabilmente incompatibile con le
schede nvidia.
Tuttavia qualche tempo fa ci fu un post interessante, relativo ad una
GeForce se non ricordo male, che potrebbe essere utile.
Te lo ripropongo, risale al 5 Gennaio 2000:

Signore e signori ecco a voi quello che alcuni veterani dei NG
definiscono
la "pappa pronta".
Dopo aver lurkato per giorni i vari NG, ho trovato la soluzione al
problema
della compatibilità tra questi due componenti (spero, perchè proverò
questa
soluzione lunedì... :-))
Con piacere la "posto" anche qui, perchè ho "tribolato" molto per
ricercare
le notizie e non voglio far fare la stessa fine anche a voi.
Anche perchè se non ci da una mano tra di noi... a che servono i
NG????
Ecco il post "originale"  (è in inglese, ma si capisce...) :->

The following is a step by step manual to prepare your Asus P5A
Motherboard
for The Annihilator Pro. If followed EXACTLY these should work. DO NOT
OVERCLOCK WITH THIS CARD. The P5A, esp. older revisions, creates AGP
noise
feedback on overclocking of the board. There is no fix for this (other
than
a new motherboard).
_______________________________________________________________________
STEP#1: Download and install the below files.
BIOS UPGRADE
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/beta/mb/bios/ali100091.zip
"AFLASH" UTILITY USED TO UPGRADE TO ABOVE 100091 BIOS FILE (Both must
be
placed on a BOOTABLE 3.5 floopy disk)
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/flash/aflash.exe
__ __ __
AGP DRIVER UPDATE
ftp://ftp.nsysu.edu.tw/Vendors/ALi/driver/agp165e.exe
or
ftp://www.ali.com.tw/driver/agp165e.exe
IDE BUSMASTER UPDATE
ftp://ftp.nsysu.edu.tw/Vendors/ALi/driver/v355.exe
or
ftp://www.ali.com.tw/driver/v355.exe
***EXTRAS -- CAUTION***
ALI AGP CONTROL UTILITY - Used to adjust features of the AGP
port..Will
cause MAJOR issues if used improperly - USE AT OWN RISK (for your
overclockers out there).
ftp://www.ali.com.tw/driver/autil03.zip
or
ftp://ftp.nsysu.edu.tw/Vendors/ALi/driver/autil03.zip
IDE BUSMASTER CONTROLLER - Great utility to use to make sure your UDMA
is
working. Very safe, and easy to use. Must have the newest IDE drivers
provided above.
ftp://www.ali.com.tw/driver/iutil103.zip
or
ftp://coda.cc.nctu.edu.tw/vendors/ALi/iutil103.zip

STEP #2: Alter the hardware...
ADJUST THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR MOTHERBOARD
You must alter two jumper setting - #1:VIO1 (AGP voltage to 3.6)  and
#2:OFTEST (across the board 10% voltage increase)
VIO1 is directly right of the dimm chipset if your CPU were at the top
of
the board, IO and serial ports facing left. OFTEST is directly below
the VID
jumpers. The VID jumpers are located to the right of the VIO jumpers.
A
diagram is porvided below. Place jumpers on the "*" indicated bridge.
D
I         - VIO1-
M        *1    1
M        *2    2                                       -VID (ignore)-
-            3    3                                            123
C                                                               123
H                -BF (ignore)-                           123
I                 123                                          123
P                123
S                123
-                                                             -OFTEST-
                                                                    *1
                                                                    *2
__________________________________________________________________
STEP#3: Make sure your Anni Pro is running the lastest drivers. CHECK
at the
Creative Main page or NVIDA.
___________________________________________________________________
STEP#4: Make sure your Card is FULLY seated in the AGP slot.
___________________________________________________________________
THAT SHOULD DO IT!
If you have any questions or concerns...Let me know.
