It's just me, or another consequence of the 686B bug?

  • It's just me, or another consequence of the 686B bug?

    My original box was:
    K6-2+ 500Mhz
    Epox MVP3C2 Motherboard
    192MB SDRAM
    Marvel G400-TV
    SB AWE 64 Gold
    3Com 3C905B NIC
    Promise Ultra 100 TX2 IDE card, connecting:

    Seagate U8 series 4.2GB HDD (For the OS)
    Seagate 'Cuda ATA IV 60GB (For programs and data)
    WD 600BB (Video capture)

    On-board IDE connects a CD-ROM and a Lite-ON CD writer.

    I upgraded some parts recently:

    Athlon XP 1900+
    Epox 8KTA3+ pro (I have to use this ancient board; I want to keep my AWE)

    And then after upgrading (and a clean install of Win ME, Via Driver 4.38, DX 8.1, Matrox driver 6.28 and VT 1.55), I started to experience weird behavious in capturing:

    I use VD for capture. The problem is: even the capture looked fine, but after I opened the file captured, the latter part of the file-- and in one case, the entire file-- was filled with garbage. Also was one case that after one "garbage" frame, the video turned back to normal -- albeit the video bacame B/W.

    Is that just me, or it's another 686B bug? How to solve all this?
    (Ignore this babble if you don't know Detective Conan.)

    I think I'd call all tri-headed cards "Hirokians", since... Hiroki Sawada definitively Tri-head!

    So we have...
    Matrox Parhelia <em>Hirokia</em> and
    Matrox Millenium P750 <em>Hirokia</em>!

    (But when can I REALLY have either of them? That's the question...)

    I don't think its a 686B bug, as you are using your promise card for the HDD's.

    Just checking a few things, you have an onboard highpoint controller and a promise tx2, are they both enabled?. Or are you just using the promise card...they may conflict.

    If you don't have it, the latest bios from epox would be a good idea.

      I've disabled on-board Highpoint and audio, and BIOS have the latest already.
