Man this is a great thread. Its very similar concept to my system, although mine is Socket 478. I really need to get mine back up and running. Do you think this will ultimately cover the wide gamut of games DOS up to 98 (Even early XP?) My system was a P4 3.06ghz with a FX 5900XT https://i.imgur.com …

There is no documentation declaring what J1 is, but I would assume the J simply designates it to be a Jumper for some purpose. The pins that sit just adjacent to the DSP marked PCPCI are for connecting a motherboard to the card, which allows you to use the card in Real MS-DOS mode. Yeah, I have …

I have a Waveforce WF192D and use the SPDIF out for outputting audio to a DAC. Does anyone know if there is a SPDIF Output header on this card? It has a 2pin header just named J1 but I can't seem to find an answer to what this header is. I can't seem to find a specific manual for the particular …

Manage to get the final piece of hardware for my XP/Win7 Build. Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium PCI-E card. Just installed it in both OS's, and then proceeded to Play a bit of Outrun 2006 Coast2Coast in XP. Passing Breeze sounded soo good. This PC is now finished and I'm thrilled how it turned out. …

Maybe a QDI S478 board with SB-Link may be a good middle ground. Paired with a PCI YMF card would offer pretty good compatibilty

I modded my case with a little DIP switch to control my 233MMX. I can change multi and FSB. FSB is 50mhz using the Turbo button and 60-66 are on one of the switches. The other two switches control the multi. FSB can be changed on the fly, Multi needs the system to be reset for it to apply. Works …

I picket up a EVGA GTX 780ti off ebay this week for £30 which arrived today which I proceeded to install in my new XP build. I was anticipating it not to work with the way it had a bit of bubble wrap around it and thrown in a large box. Thankfully it works. Installed fine in XP and played some …

This evening I re-cased my VIA build. I wanted a case that was shallow depth and not too tall but could fit an ATX board and PSU. I also wanted a 5.25" Bay to install a CD-ROM Drive. Finding a case was proving difficult. Eventually I stumbled across a case that had all the features I needed and was …
