I tired the whole Quadro FX 1300 and the problem is that you can't use drivers older than 7x.xx. So even though it has all the right features on paper those drivers suck so bad that you cannot really use them to run games that often require those features. The main issue the the AGP/Express Bridge …

Re: Which PCI Graphics Card For Socket 7 430tx/hx Builds?
Posted on Today, 14:57
I haven't seen good evidence that driver overhead is real. Driver overhead is certainly real. The older Nvidia driver the less overhead when comparing the same GPU. ATI drivers generally have larger overhead than nvidia drivers. Especially later ones that require dotNET. Example a Gf2 running 7.xx …

I take average price on eBay as a baseline. Of course not everyone is from a rich country - me included :lol: It would be good if everyone that talks about cost or prices to include where he is from - or to put it in the profile. Great ya. From what I seen if you live in Poland or in some post …

I mean Kepler is pretty old and is already fully supported on XP. So assuming you got XP to instal with modded ACPI, I see no reason it wouldn't work. evga z390 doesn't have any PCI slots. So Idk what XFI card you are going to run. Maybe better question is what is the compatibility issues with a PCI …

can you use SIV to get the hardware ID of the USB controller? You need that hardware ID to modify drivers.

also look for something called usb view. https://msfn.org/board/topic/69192-usb-2-sis-chipset/?do=findComment&comment=585001 if you mean Maximus-Decim Native USB Drivers They are not exactly native and they are mostly for things like flash drives, firewire and devices for plugging into USB. They do …

Re: getting bios mouse to work in 98se
Posted on Yesterday, 16:17
idk what bios mouse is. Maybe you mean USB Legacy Implementation.... Windows still needs to load a Driver for the mouse for it to work. That is true even if you use a PS2 mouse. Your problem is likely that Windows doesn't see/detect/load and install a driver for the USB controller. So it can't …
Re: Audio interfaces
Posted on Yesterday, 16:12
no idea what you mean. Are you talking about wave out as its referred to 9x? in this context wave out is the API for playing digital sounds. It could come from adlib, or it could come from another implementation. It doesn't have to be derived from adlib. But it might be derived from adlib if all you …

I've read many times its not. But thats not to say how hard the people tried to get it working. One of these days I'm going to get around to fully trying it. WMD drivers should work. It's the vxds that people say don't.

slot 1, 440bx boards are still cheap. I don't get the logic that becasue P4 is newer than PIII that its any more reliable. On the contrary a lot of p4 boards were produced during the capacitor plague. You can do slot 1, 440bx + Geforce 440MX, 256 MB of ram, Spinner hard drive. And a cheap slot 1 cpu …
Re: Struggling with a Pentium 4 Build
Posted on 2021-03-05, 21:56
My first thought is that the CPU is designed to run at 400MHz (so DDR Ram would need to run at 100Mhz), so I figured it might be to do with the memory speed vs CPU bus speed. The motherboard has a jumperless feature, so I tried turning that off and forcing the bus speed to 100MHz. Nothing. No the …

Right. From a purely unscientific, gut feeling standpoint, the GeForce2 is also just a better bet for Windows 98 builds. It was released during Windows 98 and DirectX 7's lifetime, so that is where the driver development effort went. The GeForce4 MX belongs to the post-Windows XP, post-DirectX 8 …
