Thanks for responding! OK, I have the following cards laying around, which one should I use for my P3 (800MHz) system (Abit BH6): Sound Blaster PCI 128 Yamaha YMF724F-V AWE64 OEM SBLive! I am not planning to play ANY DOS games at all, only Win9X/2K based games. Thanks!

Hello all, I acquired a mint P3 system that comes with a pristine Sound Blaster Ensoniq AudioPCI (Model ES1371) . I would like to know your thoughts on this card, as I have never heard about it. This is a link posted on Wikipedia regarding the history of this card: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ …

Edit: The PIII-800E is a 100 MHz FSB processor. Set Ext. Clock to 100MHz (1/3) too. This also gets you 66MHz AGP with its divider set to 2/3. Actually by looking at the marking on the CPU, it seems a 133MHz, therefore it has to be 133MHz, any other settings make the POST show as 600E. I get 800EB …

Your signature says you're running an 800E on a BH6 LOL! This is another BH6 system, and its been a while! OK, I was thrown off by the manual stating that the max is a P3-500! :) OK, I found another spare P3-800E, but the POST message reports that the CPU is unusable. I am using the following …

Thank you! I’m trying to bring the BIOS updated, because I’m planning to replace the existing P3-450 with a spare P3-600. You think that’s going to work, right?

OK, will do so! Up to what PIII speed, a BH6 can support? Running a 1.4 GHz Tualeron in a Tualatin modded MS-6905 slotket in my BH6 rev. 1.01. CPU-z reports 1403 MHz @ 14 * 100.2 MHz. Guess those numbers can be trusted. POST reports 1356 MHz. Haven't patched BIOS - version SS by the way - with …

Hello all, I just picked up a pristine BH6 v1.1 system, that comes with an Intel PIII-300MHz (Katami, 66MHz FSB), and an ATi Rage 128 MAGNUM SD AGP video card. My main goal is to play the period correct FPS games, such as Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament, etc. on it. I need your opinion: Should I …

I just swapped my AWE64 (CT4500), with a Sound Blaster 16 (CT2900 - with real OPL!), and the speech works! This is on my newly built 486-D33 system.
