Doing Shadowcaster right now 😀 ...but hte line is long 😖

Can I say Thank you? 😀

Here I am again, building yet another rig. Well, this one won't be a series, just wanted to present it and also log a thought or two for some good pleasure. Although it might take a few posts. I have to say, this hobby can be real addictive! Already my room looks like a computer warehouse :smile: …

Similar here, not that I have your config, but I have P3-866, using Voodoo 3 2ooo and exactly same - in many games I noticed this, that +when. in pure DOS mode, my games stutter, some work fine in Win95 Dos some work fin in Win Dos mode... until now, I have not been able to find whats wrong...

Totally Fantastic! It brings some sould to the "dead" hard disk 😀

So overclocking, also for DOS, comes to play with DX cards then? If a DX card runs at a DX-worthy clock (i.e. around 70MHz), it is fast enough for all DOS stuff, so no overclocking required. If you get a card wit a BIOS that initializes the clock at 45MHz, run a MCLK change tool from autoexec.bat …

Though overclocking is not my intention - is overclocking referring only to the 3D engine - I would imagine that overclocking will do little for VGA/SVGA performance... Overclocking will make the chip access the memory faster. This will directly make the accelerator faster. It will also allow …

WOW just wow how many great replies - I took time to read them and read everything suggested. I must say, some of the suggestions were eye openings. The main trouble now is, that I know even more than before but that right now poses even more questions :D In any case, let me reply to some of the …

Ja! I only now see country of origin 😀 zivijo!

Cheap or expensive? Well depends on what is what to one. What I find funny is the difference between them - if it were like 20-40 it would be not even worth mentioning, but when you go from 15 to 120 then your eyebrows tend to go up :D But do buy tested components. That is, as stated, the plan - I …

wow, thank you @maestro for the fantastic reply!! I really appreciate it, a lot! I think that we all, the 3 of us are in the same direction - that is also why I opened this discussion as I think that I was on the right track all the way, just wanted to confirm this and get opinions from you guys …

Aha. So if I understand you, heading into the Virge area is mostly due to higher clock rates which directly benefits FB of newer cards. And since 3D will be done by 3dfx, the Virges 3D engine will not perform (hopefully it will know that through drivers in Windows 95) but the VGA core will be faster …

Wow thx for the reply @mkarcher! I really appreciate that insight! So - in short, without discussing S3 - noS3 - if I go with S3 way, I should get Gainward as I have no desire for 3D (read ahead for this) or if I go the other way, I should go with ATI Mach64 --right? So anyone has a particular pro …

Hello to everybody! I am newly registered but I follow this site for like, very long. In any case, I just wanted to state, that I enjoy reading through this site with passion! Well, I wanted you to ask since I have been looking at tests and comparisons (well not direct) and opinions for so long, …
