Saving my pennies for one of these. It will be the perfect soundcard for my AMD K5 system. Can't wait! (As I said in a past post)

I have a PCI Express X-Fi Titanium for my modern PC. Sound quality is great going through my Marantz Stereo Amp. Also lets you use soundfonts.

I third Bard's question. It also made me happy to see somebody else playing Quest for Glory!! =)

Wow, I have nothing intelligent to say on this thread. I'm just in total awe of this build. I remember the reverence the Pentium was originally held in while my Dad still dialed into work on a 486 and 9600k modem.

I love the front panel for the soundblaster live! Great touch. I'm REALLY jealous of the ti4600. I've never been able to get my hands on one of those. I have a Quadro FX 2000 which is the same as the GeForce FX 5800, but it's hot and really loud, REALLY loud. I've heard nothing but good things about …

I would love to have a 3dfx 4500, can't find one for less that $150.o0 though. Sigh..... =( Love these old gpu's.

Just reiterating my excitement for this project!! Can't wait (but waiting does give me time to save up the cash for whatever this is going to cost.) =)

Purchased a Hercules 3d prophet 4500 for 50 dollars back in March. Because of Covid 19's effect on shipping I didn't get it until now. I know that the Kyro2 is not a speed demon, but I'm looking forward to putting this through its paces regardless!!
Re: What game are you playing now?
Posted on 2020-05-01, 23:56
I'm playing two games right now. Wing Commander Privateer and a second play through of FF7 Remake. I know there has been a lot of hate for the game, but I've really enjoyed it. I'm probably going to platinum it, and I never do that. =)

Intel486dx33 you are completely right. What you say makes the most sense and will probably be a completely stable computer. (If there is such a thing for a socket 3 pc) I just like punishing myself and playing with my freaky cyrix cpu. I lucked out and picked up a lucky star socket 3 motherboard …

I've always enjoyed my cyrix 5x86 120. I have one of the blue ibm ones. Doesn't need a buzzy little fan like the POD83, and I can defintley feel a difference from the dx2/66 that I had before it. Since you don't plan on installing win95 though I'm guessing all of those cpu's will feel pretty snappy.
Re: Anyone running a Pentium III 1.1Ghz on an ASUS CUBX-E?
Posted on 2020-04-28, 21:22
I LOVE this motherboard. I think it is the most stable motherboard I have ever owned. I have a passive powerleap socket adapter and have been running a 1.4ghz Tualatin for years on the board. I think the tdp on it is 32.2W. That is pretty close to 33W.

Very nice devius I love old thinkpads. My wife wishes I didn't have so many. Did the t41p every have an ips display option or did that start with the t42?

Wow thank you for the quick replies and information. McBierle, that's my sort of puzzle =) As for the motherboard, this looks like it could be fun, especially with the built in ps/2 connectors. I wonder if it can run my cyrix 5x86 120 or if I should stick with a dx4? I will definitley backup the …
Does anybody recognize this Socket 3 motherboard?

Wow, it's been a while since I posted here. Time sure flies by. I put down a bid for this socket 3 motherboard and surpisingly won it for almost a decent amount of money these days for a socket 3 motherboard, $51. It is labled as a "ELI6-II Socket 3 Motherboard w/ Pentium 486-DX2 CPU SIMM Memory and …

Here are recordings from QFG4. Erana's Staff and Dr. Cranium (Hallway). Again interested to see if you here a big difference between the soundsets, or none at all. If you do hear a difference which soundset do you like more and why? I just updated the Erana's Staff Files with much cleaner fadeouts. …
