They work with the last XP release for the 8800 series for example Tesla support was stopped for all products simultaneously (G80-GT200). That's hardly an achievement.

that would mean theoretically 300mb/s No, that would mean theoretical 133mb/s.

On 775Dual VSTA/Core4Dual VSTA (not SATA2) non-RAID SATA mode equals IDE emulation.

Can the SATA ports on the 4CoreDual VSTA appear to to windows 98 as IDE like they can on the intel 865PE chipset? VT8237A has IDE emulation mode, so default Win98 driver probably should work. In theory. Never tried it myself. No, there isn't any option in BIOS to use SATA in IDE compatibility mode …

They technically list a different south bridge and north bridge chip They don't list a different chipset and as I've already mentioned it here - even BIOS chips between them are swappable. They are 100% * identical and only 4CoreDual VSTA SATA2 is not compatible, because a different south bridge is …

Vertical lines on which resolutions? Lines usually appear on cheap ISA/VLB video cards paired with LCD monitor when anamorphic resolution is used: 320x200, 640x400 and everything in-between. But 320x240 should be fine though.

I would like to buy a Nvidia 6600 GT (128 MB) pci-express to work with Windows 10 GeForce 6xxx/7xxx and Radeon X1xxx drivers are not optimal for anything after NT5.x based OS, i.e. performance in games is a mess.

Rebel Moon Rising. Not sure though, that game probably was developed with some help from Creative.

Virtually all non-IBM cards had extra features, commonly known as 'SVGA I don't think Chips&Technologies F82C451 had those extra features (maybe only refresh rate via dip switches). That's probably one of the earliest VGA chips ever produced. EDIT: Actually it predates VESA. VESA was founded in …

But with increasing size, price is also going rapidly up Price between 512mb and 8gb DOM modules overall is negligible. Although DOM modules in 256mb-1gb range can be found for "peanuts" price. Personally, I found 256-512mb DOM modules to be the best solution for a 286-386 machine, but it's …
