Sound Blaster Audigy 2 doesn't show

Posted on 2023-07-05, 17:28

I just got an Audigy 2 Platinum EX. Model SB0280 I installed it on the pc, but it is not detected on the device manager (no entry appears). Motherboard: Asus K8S-MX. Operating system: Windows ME. I tried moving the sound card to the first pci slot. I realized it requires floppy cable power so I …

ATI Xpress 1xxx on Windows 98/ME

Posted on 2023-06-01, 21:39

I would like to point out to those who own a notebook with the Ati Xpress 1xxx video card, that it is possible to use it in windows 98. In my case, I assigned it the ati x300 drivers and it installed them correctly. The version used is Catalyst 6.2. However I don't know if this operation could …

Re: Matrox G400, Nightmare Creatures and... Powervr??

Thanks all for the replies, now I have a clearer idea of ​​what could have happened. Now I also remembered that by setting Powervr I got a much clearer image than direct3D and maybe (I'm not sure about this) it also had more "rough" graphics. I don't remember though if there were differences between …

Matrox G400, Nightmare Creatures and... Powervr??

Posted on 2023-03-02, 09:52

A few months ago I tested a matrox g400 with several games. Among the various games tested, there was also Nightmare Creatures. I realized that in the graphic settings of the game, you could also choose powervr. I tried to select it and doing it gave me no error. Both starting from the game menu and …

Yes, these problematic drivers which they ended support prematurely for the GMA 3600 series, no 64 bit drivers and officially Windows 7 only drivers, these things limit the use of this Atom. I don't know if there are drivers for xp. But I will try to install it on xp. Otherwise I will have to …

I looked up the D2550 and interesting. It is indeed lacking Speedstep. It sounds similar to the tablet Atom Z2xx0 but with no power management and a higher power limit. And it has the PowerVR SGX545. Try that out? I hear the PowerVR Windows drivers aren't exactly great. One of the reasons why I …

Is there any atom PC or motherboard that is around 2GHz? Not common 1.6GHz and 1.8GHz. My family and I went through this craze and we threw them out before they outlived their usefulness, Asus netbook died just after 1 year warranty. This shows how bad Intel left out too much in the Atom even …

Based on the graph in the link, with such fluctuating performance, I think it's hard to chart this Atom cpu The fluctuations might be caused by the CPU cores changing clock speed with load and/or by the hyperthreading. It could even be caused by the existence of a second processor in general. SMP …

I made a mistake and bought a laptop-tablet-thing about 8 years ago with an Atom. I used about a half a dozen times and determined it's pure garbage trying to run Windows 10. I'm not sure what to do with it; I should probably just give it away. You're right, the Intel Atom for a classic use of …

Maybe you could run some old benchmarks that were used in old CPU reviews. That way it would be possible to directly compare. Give Quake 3 Demo 001 a run. https://www.anandtech.com/show/557/14 I did the test you told me with Quake 3 demo001. The result is fluctuating. With the same default settings …
