Thanks!, I totally forgot to set the BIOS after I swapped the battery, I've set the DMA to 0 and now all sound is working as it should.

I just ran the "diagnose utility" and it says that none of the low DMA channels are available, maybe this has something to do, although I do have have FX sounds in Duke 3D....

"Quick" question, both in windows or in DOS mode I can't hear fx sounds in Doom and Doom 2,( I do have music with the sc-55 connected to the c awe lime-in) while Duke 3d is fine, what could be causing this? do any of the jumpers present on the card pcb have anything to do? because I remember …

Yes, mine looked very similar to that one (I think even including the green thingy around the AGP slot), but iirc it did turn on using a standard PSU? Maybe it was some weird goof-up or something? It's been a long while, but I can definitely remember having done this as I was very nervous due to …

I'm in a bit of a rush atm, but did your Compaq i815 board happen to have a black CPU socket? Because I had some Compaq 181 µATX board and didn't know if it actually needed a proprietary PSU or not....so at some point I simply yoloed a PSU to that thing and powered the thing up lol, so fireworks :D …

Nice no-frills rig :) I've never given it much doubt if I for whatever reason decided to not use onboard sound. I often would only use an addon sound card if the onboard one was giving me trouble (usually with either the drivers or with weird stability issues), as long as it works :D I don't use …

Its Interesting what you say about Mafia, I have memories of playing it on a Athlon 1.2ghz and a Geforce 2 MX bitd, I never cleared it so you must be referrying to some later stages that are more demanding on the CPU. As for Farcry I didn't had high hopes since I had troubles running it on a Athlon …

For a 1997/1999 build, I swear by A-Open HX45 cases. HQ45 can do as well. http://www.dansdata.com/hx45.htm Ohh man, that was my k-7 case from 2001, mine also came with an Aopen 15" monitor, a few years before that I also had a 486 with another Aopen combo, 14" monitor+ AT case + Din keyboard.

Hello Luisile & Copados33! To quickly answer both questions regarding speed, I'm not building this system just for speed. If I was, I would have stuck with the Athlon XP 2000+ for my build, or even tried my luck with an Athlon 64 4000+ I've got tucked away somewhere in the spare parts retirement …

Nice, only flaw is the Intel 815 base mobo, my choice would have been a VIA Apollo Pro 133A based motherboard since it was faster in games than the intel 815 chipset.

The white wire got loose while I was fiddling with it, I already soldered back where it was on the pot leg, so yeah, all looks fine but I still can't get it to work, haven't tried it in DOS yet; maybe its something related to the sound card? so far I have tried connecting it on a Awe64 gold, SB live …
