VA-503+ won't recognize D-Link network card - What's been your luck in getting the D-Link DWL-G510 wireless PCI netwoerk card to work in an FIC VA-503+ and Windows? I couldn't get Windows to recognize the card, no matter how I installed or the driver software, what PCI slot I used (other..

VIA C3 processor on FIC KA31 motherboard ??? - Has anyone tried the VIA C3 processor (on a slocket) on a KA31 I think I know where I can get my hands on an 800MHz processor for a price and wonder if it's worth trying. Maybe the BIOS doesn't support the processor - I don't..

hmmm... - I have a va503+ with a sb live card and a g-force 4 card. it's clocking 500 MHz with 384 Mb of ram running windows 2000. when I play a song with Windows media player, it plays great. but when I have the graphics turned on, such as the swirly ambient..

PCI problem on a VA503+ - Hi there, I've got a VA503+ , flashed with the modified APM bios (I can't remember the version - you all know what one it is), with a K6-2 500 (5x100), 256meg PC-100 and WinXP Pro SP1 installed with the F6(?) 'Standard PC' option. I have the lastest VIA.

The "highest" videos crads VA503+'s can use? - Hi there (again), So, after all these years, have the video card limits for a VA503+ been worked out? I was told once that cards over 32meg of vRAM won't work, but it that true? What are the highest nVidia and ATi cards that can be used in Windows XP?..

Greetings

I have a PA-2013 with ji4333 BIOS and I'm still not sure of the biggest
hard drive it will take. Anybody know?

Thanks!

That's good news. I feared it was 65.

Cheers

I could not remember whether it was 65 GB or 137 GB, either, so I
resorted to doing a Google search. I found some old archived posts from
this newsgroup, back when this was actually a current topic, lol.

Thanks, I must hone up my News-Googling skills. I believe the 503+ only
went to 65G (with je4333) but that's out of date info as well.

I have a 120G Seagate running in a 503+ (with JE4333) right now. Works
fine.

[As a side note, I actually got a 160G drive running in it at one point,
but the BIOS didn't recognize it properly. It declared it to be a 137G
drive, but the Linux OS queried the drive directly and properly declared
it to be 160G. Unfortunately, it was *very* slow, possibly because of
the BIOS conflict.]

There should be no BIOS or hardware limitations between 40GB and the
28-bit IDE/ATA limitation (~137GB), excepting some idiosyncratic
incompatibility between a particular HDD make/model/firmware and the
BIOS (which is what JE4333 addressed with Quantum drives).

There were actually a fair amount of Award BIOSes that had a limitation
of 65 GB (actually 65535 MB) because of a divide overflow error in the
BIOS code.
