First attempt at enabling Geometry Assist for K6-2

OK. A very very nice programmer gave it a try and gave me this file.
I HAVE NOT YET TESTED IT MYSELF. THIS IS FOR K6-2+ and K6-III+ CPUs ONLY.
HE NOR I CAN BE RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS.
Get at at dvd3500.org
Go to the K6 optimization section and go ALL THE WAY DOWN to the bottom.
Follow the author's instructions and let me know how it went.
I will try it tomorrow morning.
 
I just bought a K6-3+ 450 so I am curious what you are talking about. What is geometry assist? By the way, the new K6-3+ are actually pretty good for overclocking. Mine runs at 600 with no special enhancements.
 
It is a D3D tweak that makes the graphics look better. It also seems to boost benchmarks.
It is available on Penitum IIs and higher and on Durons/Athlons.
It works with 3Dnow! and MMX so we're trying to enable it on K6-2/3+ CPUS that use the (mostly) same 3Dnow! as the Athlons (regular K6-2/3s can't handle this though).
Follow the instructions, give it a whirl if it doesn't work/help or do anything just copy your older .vxd back!
Let me know though!
I love the K6-III+ I have too. I can switch the multiplier at will and it runs cooler than my K6-2 550 Mhz ever did!
