Honestly if the company doesn't want to invest a small amount into a modern ticketing system, I would just throw a shared excel file in something like google docs. Not your problem to come up with a magical solution to an otherwise easily solvable issue. It's not that the owner doesn't want to, …

I'm the sole IT person at my company and will likely be so for an extremely long time. I have a lot of projects & tasks (aka tickets) "in my head" that I'm working on, but would like to actually have a system to interface with. As being the sole IT person and a small company, we don't have the …

The default for this card …

I recently purchased a 386SX-20 system with a Quantum Hardcard EZ 240 in it as well as an MFM Controller Card, but no MFM Hard Drive. The information online is very limited on the Quantum Hardcard EZ 240 and I'm not familiar with 386's, especially the SX platform since it's somewhat of a beefed up …

I like your thinking System 1: looks like a great Win9x/late dos PC. I'd probably add a second PCI sound card for Win9x gaming. System 2: High end Glide PC, I'd agree with any of your sound card choices System 3: High end D3D PC, Re the Vortex 2, check which games you own support A3D 2.0, if it's …

Since you rule out CRTs anyway, there are still some new-ish 1280x1024 LCDs out there. Yes ! If thrift stores are open in your area you can sometimes find a very good one for very little $. I have a few 4:3 LCD that work very well for the older pre-2005 gaming that was not in Widescreen. Not as …

Hello! I did something similar a few years ago although I'm not personally too intense into gaming - https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=45835 For sound some are super into whether it uses a hardware OPL3 chip for MIDI or emulates it as the later Sound Blasters and compatibles did. The ESS …

So, for years I had a great Windows 98SE gaming system that pretty much checked all my boxes. However, due to various life events as well as failing hardware (RIP Voodoo 3 3000 AGP), my 98SE gaming days were put on the back burner. However, I've recently been getting back into my hobbies and last …

Hm guess when i read XP Build i usually expect a Pentium 4/Athlon 64/maybe a early Dual Core. I would not consider this even a Retro Build. Its still so modern it could run everything except few games :D Ha. Yeah. It's overkill for sure. It shouldn't have even been a "project" right now as I have …

After experimenting with a few different video cards, as well as HDMI or DVI-to-HDMI cables, I believe the problem is the Nvidia drivers for XP just won't drive 1440p over HDMI. The same computer and same video card + monitor + cable …

This evening I completed my "retro" Windows XP system with parts I've had laying around for a good while, and some I've bought used/new recently. The specs are as follow: Case: Antec VSK4000E-U3 Motherboard: Intel DZ68BC (One of Intel's few gaming motherboards) CPU: Intel i5-3570K RAM: 2x 2 GB DDR3 …
