Yes, but as much as I love the 3DFX cards, it's just not worth THAT much to me. Anyway, hope the buyer enjoys his new card when he buys it!

This isn't the forum about how to burn (downloaded) ISO files to a disk, there are plenty other forums that can help you with that. Good luck!

If you want to sell to forum members, may I suggest you post a WTS thread on vintage-computer.com?

Those IBM's may need somekind of special memory? I remember once seeing 30p memory modules which had these WEIRD looking chips on them, looked like 6 aluminium little boxes instead of regular memory chips

Does that include the 5600's? Wouldn't they be roughly equal to the midrange GF4's? If this was back in 2003/04, I'd take a GF4 (Ti) over those in a heartbeat. They may have been competitive with the GF4 in DX8/OpenGL games but for the FX's original intended purpose (i.e. DX9 games), it sucked. One …
Re: VL-Bus 3D card????
Posted on 2011-03-22, 05:11
It was very disappointing. Partly because 486s can't really handle 3D rendering and partly because the visuals are like software mode. Also it was like NV1 with very few games. LOL must have been like every other 3D graphics card back in that era then (pre-DirectX). Small performance boost at best …

I can't fit any of those CPU as my board is not SS7 (it supports multiplier up to 5.5 and FSB up to 83MHz) Yes you can ;) The main important thing is, can your board supply a low enough voltage for these chips? 2.2v and the K6-III is within your reach. For example, you can run a K6-III/400 @ …

God I wish people would let the voodoo cards die. It is bordering on obsession now. Due to this we have emulators with plugins made for a decade old graphics card line and the wrappers cause issues when used on other cards. I think people need to move the hell on. This is a forum where people share …

My guess is that threads like those should be readily available on somekind of 3dfx forum.
Re: Whats a VRAIL?
Posted on 2011-03-22, 00:39
I presume the VRAIL is the 12v line on your PSU. Those toprange cards require a strong output in the PSU's 12v line(s) because they eat so much power. Edit:And about your PSU's, PSU's are NOT created equal!! It's important to know what brand you got. One brand 550W PSU may be MUCH more crappy then a …

Yes I have 128MB of RAM, I also have only one stick, as I can't get one of my two SDRAM slot working. If I had a 64MB stick I'd get better performance? Yes, provided your rig isn't swapping to harddrive. 64MB sticks should be DIRT cheap these days, everyone wants at least 256MB PC-133 sticks. The …

For XP I would just go for a Core 2 Duo or Athlon II setup. No need for vintage hardware because everything is XP and PCI. W98SE is the OS where you need specific hardware. True, but since a)between a top-end 98SE rig's hardware and the Core2Deo/Athlon II lies a whole range of pc architectures that …

Many people are using IE, and will be curious to try the latest version which offers quite a number of improvements, according to the feature list/changelog. I'm not a big fan of IE, by the way …
