Benchs are best with a HDD. With SSD adapter its really slow. Well you can build a IDE Raid what is fun, but otherwise its a slow controller after all..

To be clear i was also not a big Vista fan back in the days. But as new OS you look more forward to 64Bit DX10 and the new features. My perspective is more to look back get all the XP x86 stuff working, and also able to run some early DX10 games (like Hellgate London). Nothing more or less. Dualboot …

Well you can use a benchmark like 3d mark 2000 and compare the results. But i think the CPU is your problem. You maybe consider upgrade to a p4 system (northwood 3GHz). That would push your geforce better for sure. The min specs from this timeline are really not a good point to go for.

Did you think about a icy box? I used it to swap SSDs and run it with a sata pci card. Win98SE i switch between Amigamerlin 2.9 and raziel-evolution_1.01.16.

1-2GB runs great with the patch, i also tryed 2x2gb but thats to much 😀 I would go with 2x512MB but ddr2 1GB was cheaper as finding 2x 512Mb 1066..

The question is will the Adapter provide 66MHz PCI, i dont think so. So you will lose around 25% of your voodoo performance against the AGP bus (66MHz). Strongly recommend recap and change the FETs on your v5 before swapping VRAM or reflow/reball anything. Its a common Problem V5 failed.
