1. AGP support is removed from Win10 Anniversary update (1607) and newer. It will display, but not accelerate 3D. If you absolutely must, try installing one of the earliest builds or Win8.1. 2. You are trying to run incompatible OS/chipset combination. There are no "some Vista drivers" for nF3, not …

Thanks, I'll check them some day... I wish that this post came earlier, as now I am in another city and this motherboard is not here. I'll test it after some months (hopefully).

Well, when compared to the same generation Intel CPUs, they are better in some cases, while Athlons are better in other, as always. And they really make all the chips, motherboards and adapters like that - there is no single case when one component is better than another one in every tests. For …

Nice system... I think this would be better suited to Windows XP and Windows 98/ME. Actually this would be one of the fastest possible motherboards for Windows 98/ME. Agreed, socket 939 is Windows XP era. Would a Gigabyte GA-K8NMF-9 be any good? (I can grab one for $20) or is the OP’s motherboard …

There is WinXP on another HDD (non SSD). It works well, usable for retro gaming and software - some midi programs work really nice.

Here is one of my 'not so old' PCs: Windows 10 x32 works surprisingly well, but Win10 x64 was unable to install for some odd reason. The machine has Athlon x2 4600+ CPU, GA-K8NS Ultra-939, Nvidia 6800 AGP x8 video, 512 GB SSD (SATA), 4 GB DDR RAM and some additional hardware (Labtec webcam, which …

BTW, same insanely bad decision was the reason that Gravis Ultrasound and many other awesome cards (including AWE32/64) doesn't exist anymore. They don't exist anymore because with busses after ISA allowing direct access to system memory and with faster CPUs, such cards simply made no sense anymore …

Quite old topic and completely not true. Turtle Beach Multisound is awesome sound card! There are some MS-DOS games that use it for sound and wavetable music. Too bad Turtle Beach didn't produce newer PCI card with same capabilities. Because of that it is obsolete, but still usable in vintage …

Not sure if you aren't aware, but there are newer Voodoo cards like Spectre. They weren't officially released but still there are some "leaked" prototypes.

There are lot of games supporting Covox Speech Thing (LPT DAC). And there are many that are supporting Disney Sound Source and some of them could be lied by Covoxer or another tool to believe ordinary Covox is DSS. Also, there are other LPT DACs like STON1 - Stereo-on-1 which are more than one DAC …

PCem emulator already emulates Adlib Gold, without daughter board though.
