I got this Hercules Prophet 3 Geforce 3 without a cooler yesterday. Slapped aliexpress heatsink on it and seems to work fine. Unfortunately someone has removed the original cooler with way too much force and damaged the traces. Any ideas what would be the correct way to "repair" this? It's visual …

Maybe not quite period correct, but I think a balanced setup for the games up to the year 2000. )) I put GF2 MX 400 on my K6-2+ 450 (500-550) and got good performance in Q3, UT99. Before that there was ATI Rage 128 and Q3, UT99 were not very playable. Even Half Life 1 has improved with hardware …

No, you don't need to change anything. The only thing I would do is give this system to an office worker or donate it to charity. Just because it's a Pentium 4 with DDR1 )) Sorry

You would lose some Power Management options, including Standby and Hibernation. More info can be found here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=53765 There should be no other adverse effects under Win98. I never use these features. In the afternoon I'll see if it's possible to disable …

Interesting. On my system, the IRQ that the SBLive takes depends on which PCI slot it's inserted in. It usually ends up using IRQ 10 which leaves the lower ones free for SB16 emulation. I have tried other slots. In this case, the sound card will always set to IRQ 5 or share another interrupt with …

That looks good to me, I can't see any conflicts. Those ACPI entries are normal. BTW, you don't have to reserve IRQ 5 for legacy devices in the BIOS. That setting only applies to ISA non-PnP cards and shouldn't be needed here. Regarding the crackling, if it only manifests with Carmageddon 2, while …
