For those few that don't know, my avatar is Don Johnson from Miami Vice. Best show in TV history IMO. Very ahead of it's time and started the careers of many famous stars like Liam Neeson, Bruce Willis, Ed O'Neil, etc...lI was pretty young when it was in it's prime, but even as a kid, I wanted to …

Doom, Duke and Quake will run fine and don't need the system to slow down, Not sure about the last two but realised late enough I would think your safe by the mid 90's developers had realised relying on hardware limitations for game speed was a bad idea. If you already have the Intel se440bx-1 I …

Have an interest (like a lot of you!) on building a win98 pc that also can run certain dos games without a lot of sleepless nights. Having the listed cpu, what mobo do you all advise to me to get that can maybe allow for underclocking the cpu a bit? The games I'm leaning towards are Doom 2, Quake, …

Got this game working under Dfend reloaded/dosbox but want to make it so it skips the intro scenes. Something like a "hike- no intro" inserted maybe in the config file somewhere. Any Sierra games experts out there able to help?

Wanted to play this old game and was wondering would it be easier to go with Dosbox via WinXp or "straight Dos" via Win98 to get it running? See my sig for the Win98 setup. I know that the Live card can be tricky to get working but I'm not too particular about the sound, this game doesn't have "jaw- …

I can't agree with that. A 9250 does 100 FPS in Quake III at 1280 x 1024 with a decent CPU. Regarding price and availability, that depends on where you live, but at least from my end, the 9200 cards are very easy to find and cheap, whereas 8500 cards are getting rarer and cost a premium. Anything …

Not worth the expense from the performance aspect but for collectors may as well get it now before the prices balloon even more into $300-500 region. Without the cable you are in for a headache as you would have to make your own. In short just avoid buying one and get two V2 12mb instead. Yeah the …
