Re: 1999 Dream PC project

Pretty thing, though probably more of a '98 machine. @PC-Engineer Win2K RTM in 15 dec 99, I say it counts. While regular users couldn't just buy RTM copies in stores, it still existed at that point in time :) ...but, yeah, what rdram sticks were out there at that time, did 512mb sticks exist yet in …

Thanks. I need to ask something, as I want to be pretty correct with the ram too - old articles for this motherboard always test it with 256mb rdram sticks. When did 512mb rdram sticks first become available? Did they exist in 99 or did they make them later? Anyone remembers?

Major update, I got a hold of the unicorn, the Intel OR840 !!! https://i.imgur.com/EkGAK9B.jpg So I now have the ultimate motherboard, graphics card and sound card... That's all the major components accounted for. I need a pair of cpus and some rdram, and hard drives.... ideally also a cooler maser …

driver conflicts, certainly, if its the same OS, but my approach is to multiboot several copies of windows, and in each of them to have only one card enabled in device manager, and only drivers for that card installed, with the other cards disabled... seems to be a good way to avoid the resource and …

Got the card to work, and, from a quick test I can see its a nice card, has clean sound quality, lots of driver options, sound blaster emulation for dos and wavetable connector, 4-speaker surround and Sensaura 3D support for windows, overall quite pleased with it... I think in my 1999 build I will …

Looking for Terratec DMX drivers

Posted on 2021-03-27, 12:38

Hello, today I bought this card, the Terratec DMX Advanced Audio Accelerator, to add it to my collection. It appears to be from 1999. Has the ESS Canyon3D ES1970M-3D chipset. https://i.imgur.com/GrU1JO2.jpg I am having surprisingly lots of trouble finding any drivers for it to test it. Looks like …

Of course, having a platform bottleneck is a good way to find out how they compare, but then for actual use in a 2001 build with a 2001 card, if the bottleneck is on the gpu side and all 3 perform the same, all Im saying the ultimate board to use may not necessarily be the fastest board, but the one …

Re: looking for x1300 win 9x/ME driver

7000 series work with driver 82.69 but that driver is quite bad, I tried it out for myself with a 7900 GS and game compatibility was quite poor, I would not recommend it. 7800 GS AGP seems to work with 77.72, you can try looking for that. But I think 6800 Ultra and ATi X850XT are faster than 7800 GS …

It is also unlikely that this will happen in the future as the x1000 series would not bring much to the Windows 9x table as those games that can only run under Windows 9x do fine with cards with existing Windows 9x drivers and those that games that require more graphics power also support XP or …
