Looking at your pic, if you trace the line from pin 49 side B, there's an IVH going from side B to A right above pin 48 side B. I bet it connects to pin 48 side A. Which means pin 49 side B is connected to GND.

What you need to do now is isolate pin 49 side B and connect it to a pullup resitor to Vcc.

Isolate pin49 want to say to isolate it by cutting the PCB trace on the side B?
How Can I connect it to the Vcc?

Thanks,
Oscar

Start out by just masking pin 49 side B and see if that enables 66MHz operation. If it doesn't work, then connect it to a pullup resistor to Vcc. You can cut the line on the PCB or create a new pin over the mask. I recommend you do a little researching yourself before doing the mod. You can find the PCI spec docs at PCI-SIG.

heh nice work Oscar , heh so maybe the 6000 points is possible? I hope so man, so far so good man, May The Force Be With You buddy.

Thank you KoolSmoky!

EDITED:

It works. I have masked pin 49 with sellotape and the v6k works to 66MHz. Now I got 5663 points on 3DMark2001SE.



Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you KoolSmoky!!!!!

Nice score Oscar !

Congratulations for your new world record !

How much memory do u have in this dual core sistem ?
AFAIK the 3dMark2001 is very sensible to every system change, so that 2Gb of memory with agressive timmings should bring some points more...
6000 Points is not too far now ...

Hey Oscar what speed did your CPU run? Intel E6600 @ 2.4Ghz stock speeds?
and what Mobo did you use which has a 66Mhz PCI Bus for Intel Core2 Duo?

Hey Oscar what speed did your CPU run? Intel E6600 @ 2.4Ghz stock speeds?

E6600@3200MHz 410FSB

You only need to find a motherboard with PCI-x (Workstation). With a V5 PCI plug it the card will work to 66MHz.

I did some test:

V6K + AGP2PCI
Intel sistem with Core2duo

3DMark2001SE
V6k@166MHz (AGP2PCI) on PCI Bus - 33MHz - 4000Points
V6k@166MHz (AGP2PCI) on PCI Bus - 50MHz - 4800Points
V6k@166MHz (AGP2PCI - Modded) on PCI Bus - 66MHz - 5300Points

3DMark2001SE
V5 5500 PCI - PCI-X 66MHz - 3700Points
V5 5500 PCI - PCI 33Mhz - 3000Points
V5 5500 AGP (AGP2PCI modded) - PCI-X 66MHz - 3700Points.


So the PCI-X is the way for Voodoo cards. PCI-X = AGP1x (66MHz).

osckhar,

your is really a very good work.

Thank you.

hmm interesting Oscar that a 5500 PCI can operate with a 66Mhz PCI bus never knew that, since 32Bit PCI only operates @ 33Mhz right, as I thought a 5500 PCI/4500 PCI was limited with that as well?

thopugh I may be mistaken of course

[osckhar]

@Obi,
V4/V5 PCI are PCI66MHz equal like V4/V5 AGP (PCI66MHz). Just PCI version is limited BUS PCI 33MHz. When you plug them on PCI-X you can see them to his maximum potential (66MHz).

ahh oke thanx for the idea heh that Dual 760MPX board I have here has 2 PCI-64Bit 66Mhz slots heh nice for the Voodoo5 5500 PCI hehe thanx for the tip mate and congratulations with your score man damn 5.6K with a 6K hmm I wonder what happens when your card travels @ cores mem : 195Mhz wiiieeee a Hels score that would make haha

No problem Obi!

Try your V5 PCI and show us the scores. With a V5 5500 PCI @185MHz I got 4050Points.
Now I am waiting for best DDR. I think 6000 points will be easy with my V6k runing @195MHz.

ps. The next step will be to see like affect the bus pci between 33-66MHz in D3D games without T&L by software (NFSU, Collin McRae3, V-Rally)

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

well I need 2 AthlonMP 2800+ CPU's first heh got the board though my 5500 PCI does 191Mhz max speed without page tearing it used to be Mojo's card some long time ago.

The card I use is a Rev.A1 2900 with bios 1.11

btw 6000 points with a 6000 matches the cards name also haha, and really you deserve a front page post if you will reach the magical 6000 + points on 3D mark 2001SE B330

I sense you will get around 6024 something like that

[m14radu]

Hey Osckar ,

Any good news ?
already hit 6000 points ?
Keep us informed when you achieve this goal ....

Can u post please some pics with the system ?

The next step in order to get more points will be a quad core CPU !
