Second life VIA Apollo Pro 133
This entry was submitted to our «unlimited» paper contest.
Upgrade for free, that is, for nothing!
Surely many still have Socket370 systems based on the VIA chipset. I am a «happy» owner of just such a motherboard based on the VIA Apollo Pro 133 chipset. More specifically, Soltek SL-63 AV+, which supports Coppermine processors with a system bus frequency of up to 133 MHz. Another important feature of the chipset is support for asynchronous memory operation — FSB +/- 33 MHz.
Apollo Pro 133
Apollo Pro 133 is the first chipset to officially support 133MHz FSB.
But, as usual, the first pancake came out lumpy and the performance of this chipset was not impressive. The speed of working with memory was especially low (about one and a half times lower than that of the well-known Intel 440 BX chipset). Among other «brakes» of the chipset, we can note the slow ATA 66 controller, which shows results comparable to ATA 33 in the i440 BX.
In order to make sure that these are not empty words, I will give the results of tests of two machines on the above chipsets.
Machine 1:
- Intel Pentium !!! 750 (7.5*100)
- Pc-Partner i440 BX
- 128 Mb SDRAM PC 100
- GeForce2 MX 200 32 Mb SDRAM
- 20 Gb Samsung 5400
recommendations
Machine 2:
- Intel Celeron 600 Coppermine (9*66)
- Intel Celeron 1000 Coppermine (10*100)
- Soltek VIA Apollo Pro 133
- 192 Mb SDRAM PC 133
- Radeon VE 64 Mb SDRAM 1
- 0 Gb Fujitsu 5400 + 40 Gb Seagate 7200
And now the test results.
The results of the CPU test are quite natural: Celeron 600 lags behind Pentium !!! 750, which in turn lags behind the Celeron 1000. Noteworthy is the fact that systems based on the Apollo Pro 133 chipset lag behind in memory and hard drive tests.
So, one day it was decided to upgrade. And more specifically, about replacing the motherboard. The task was complicated by the fact that I had an AT case that I didn’t want to change, and I didn’t want an i440 BX, but something newer, for example, an i815 (since the idea arose to buy a Tualatin and put it on a 133 bus). And while searching for the motherboard I needed (everyone says that there are such, but no one has seen them), I accidentally stumbled upon a mention of the Memory Interleave Enabler utility.
Memory Interleave Enabler
In 1997, VIA introduced the memory interleave capability into their chipsets — which translates as memory interleave . Its principle is that the chipset remembers up to four recently used «pages» of memory on the module and can return to them without re-accessing the memory.
Depending on the chipset, the total number of such «pages» reaches sixteen. Thus, it turns out, something like an additional third-level cache. If the processor accesses one of these pages, then instead of looking in system memory, it gets them directly from the chipset. Intel chipsets did not have this feature.
However, not everything is as good as we would like. The fact is that motherboard manufacturers do not activate this feature of the chipset. Either this was done to increase stability at the expense of speed, or, in my opinion, it is more likely that boards based on VIA special chipsets showed lower performance than more expensive boards based on Intel chipsets.
There are two ways out of this situation. The first is to download the updated BIOS, which will support the memory interleave mode. The second way is to use the Memory Interleave Enabler utility.
The following chipsets can be modified.
- MVP3 or MVP3G; marking «VT82C598»;
- MVP4 ; marking «VT82C501»;
- Apollo Pro , Pro Plus, Pro133, Pro133A; marking «VT82C691» or «VT82C693» or «VT82C693A» or «VT82C694X»;
- KX133 ; marking «VT8371»;
- KT133 ; marking «VT8363».
The program also requires SDRAM memory. The program will not work with earlier modules. The program does not change the BIOS of the computer, so in case of any problems you can return everything back. In my opinion, the copy of the BIOS in the system memory changes when the system boots, although the program may act differently.
To install the program, unpack the archive and run the SETUP_9X.bat file for Windows 9X, or SETUP_NT.bat for Windows NT/2000/XP. Uninstalling the program (if such a desire suddenly arises) is done in the standard way, using the control panel. To check the correct installation of the utility, you can use the well-known Cpu-Z program. You need to open the Memory tab, and you will see something like this in the absence of an activated memory interleave mode.
And something like the following screenshot when activated.
The only «glitch» noticed during the period of using this utility (about 4 months) was the disabling of memory interleave when using Sleep Mode in Windows XP.
Testing
Tested with a Celeron 1000 Coppermine processor. The memory worked asynchronously at a frequency of 133 MHz. First of all, after installing the utility, and then rebooting the computer, I started testing and comparing the results BEFORE and AFTER.
First, the speed of the memory subsystem in SiSoft Sandra 2000 Professional was tested.
You can immediately see an almost twofold increase in speed in ALU and more than twofold in FPU. All this is of course very good, but Sandra is pure synthetics and her results, as a rule, have little to do with the real state of affairs.
Now everything has fallen into place! The performance of the memory subsystem, which has almost doubled, «pulled up» the evaluation of the processor as well.
The next test item was a test in game applications using the example of 3D Mark 2000
So, as you can see from the diagram, installing the Memory Interleave Enabler raised the rating from 1646 parrots to 1834.
Pretty good, especially considering that they got absolutely free of charge, that is, for nothing! The last column is the measurement after installing updated drivers for my Radeon — Forsage 3.10. That is, I achieved an increase of almost 30% from 1646 to 2067 parrots only by installing the software! In fact, this is a free upgrade.
Work with the system, office programs, Photoshop, etc. has also become noticeably more comfortable. Later, I tested several computers with a similar configuration and motherboards based on the i810 and i815 chipsets. Unfortunately, I don’t have these tests, but I remember that I was also not ashamed to announce my results.
Thus, this utility is a good option for those users who «just a little» lack the performance of their system, but not enough to build a completely new computer.
The Memory Interleave Enabler utility can be found in the Overclockers.ru file archive (13 KB).
And finally: The author is not responsible for possible damage associated with the operation of this program!

with new video card games using hardware
A reader asks I am the owner of Ali Aladdin V AGPset GA-5AA motherboard. When changing the video card from S3 Savage4 to NVidia RivaTNT2 Pro, I encountered the following problem: with the new video card, games that use hardware acceleration stopped running (even after they were reinstalled), which was not the case with S3 Savage4. Perhaps Riva somehow conflicts with my mother or something. Please tell me how can I solve this problem.
This is a known compatibility issue for nVIDIA graphics cards with ALi chipsets. It is solved by installing newer Detonator drivers (good archives are available on the websites www.3dnews.ru and www.reactor.ru), new drivers for the chipset ( www.
ali.com.tw ), using tweaker utilities (I can advise RivaTuner: www .nvworld.ru ), various patches, etc. Now you have to get into the Internet for a long time.
I wanted to ask for a long time why my RAM (PC133 SDRAM) passes only 110 Mb / s (I use synthetic Sandra), while Duron has 600 MHz — 370 Mb / s? In the CPU test, mine shows 2250, Duron’s — 1600. The multimedia test is also faster than Duron by 20%. Processor — Cel830@83, board based on VIA VT82C69 chipset3A. What’s the matter? Is my mother clumsily soldered, or is this a chipset?
Both. The Apollo Pro133 chipset works slowly with RAM by itself, and if we add an unsuccessful BIOS to this… In principle, there are ways to increase the performance of the board by enabling Bank Interleave, Page Mode, etc. This can also be done manually using WPCREDIT , and with the help of special patches. One of them is VIA Enabler ( http://www.amdnow.com/viahardw/MemoryEnable.zip ).
This is the situation: (Celeron 667, mother based on VIA VT82C69 chipset3A) put bus 100 instead of 66, got 1 Hz.
Loading, i.e. enters the BIOS, everything is tested normally, but when it comes to loading the system (I have ME and Linux), then everything stops and does not want to advance further (both systems slow down immediately when they are accessed). And one more defect: after reset, whether it be with a button or 3 keys, then the monitor does not respond. You have to cut it out, then cut it in again.
Typical symptoms of failed overclocking. Apparently, your processor does not want to work on a 100 MHz bus. It is necessary to raise the core supply voltage a little, if possible. And also check the efficiency of processor cooling. Then overclocking can happen.
Bought an FDD. The company checked — the drive is working. Brought home — does not work. The green light is constantly on and there are no other signs of life. Tell me, what should be done to CORRECTLY connect FDD?
Disk drive definitely not connected correctly. First, you need to connect the end of the cable with twisted wires to it.
Secondly, the conductor marked with a color must be connected to the first pin of the drive connector (usually marked with paint on the printed circuit board). If the light is on, flip the end of the cable 180 degrees and reconnect.
How to overclock Duron-900 on GA-7IXEH? And what are these settings in the BIOS:
1) DRAM Frequency.
2) SDRAM CAS# Latency
This board is not suitable for overclocking, but you can slightly increase the processor bus frequency in BIOS Setup. Now about the settings. DRAM Frequency — memory bus frequency. It may coincide with the frequency of the mentioned processor bus or differ from it in both directions (but not be higher than 133 MHz). Of course, for Duron it is better to increase the frequency to 133 MHz. CAS# Latency is an important characteristic of memory operation. This is the delay between the CAS# signal (fetching a column or row element) and the actual appearance of data at the outputs of the memory circuits. The vast majority of PC133 memory sold in our country can only work with CL=3 (although sometimes it works with CL=2).
For PC2100 CL, most often 2.5, although it happens that CL=2 also works.
I have a hard drive question: Is the Seagate ST340016A a Barracuda ATA IV or not?
Yes, this is the Barracuda ATA IV. This can be seen from the penultimate figure — the number of platters on the hard drive. Only the Barracuda ATA IV can have one platter and at the same time 40 GB (the second and third digits in the marking). The Seagate U6 has the same configuration, but the last digit will always be «0»: ST340810A.
Please tell me which drivers Windows95 does not load in SafeMode? And if you can, tell me how they can be turned off one at a time (in the sense of where you need to register so as not to load them).
Safe Mode ignores separately installed drivers. Windows 9x/ME loads only the universal drivers for the display, mouse, keyboard, hard disk controller, etc. that are necessary for operation. After loading, you can go to the device manager (Win + Break, second tab) and remove devices whose drivers do not need to be loaded.
You can also protect against auto-installation of drivers by deleting files from the Windows\INF\Other folder.
Please help me understand the situation: I have Epox-8KTA3L+, Western Digital 40 Gb 7200 screw, CD-ROM Teac 40X. I connect the screw to IDE1, and the CD-ROM to IDE2. BIOS and Win98 normally recognize both the screw and the CD-ROM, but the CD-ROM does not accept discs. Win98 gives a «Device not ready» message, and some discs are treated as audio at all.
This is a common problem. Some CD-ROMs (notably the Teac CD-540E) do not want to work in UltraDMA mode. The fact is that they do not support this mode, they work only in MWDMA mode. And the standard Windows driver foolishly sets the maximum mode, which is why the CD-ROM either does not read files or gives errors. It is enough to either install a driver for the hard disk controller (Intel Application Accelerator or VIA IDE Driver (not included in the new 4-in-1 pack)) or disable DMA (uncheck the box in the CD-ROM properties).
