Re: DOS VGA Video Card Performance Testing
Posted on 2014-02-14, 17:21
I haven't found any performance data for standard VGA 320x240 for video cards around here, and I did search. All I meant was I do not know of a full benchmark suite for dos like the one Phil had set up that utilizes 800x600 mode (of any type), for anything, only this VGA mode I showed in the …

Re: Case recommendations?
Posted on 2014-02-13, 07:44
just go with an Antec Three Hundred, they're usually about $50, sometimes a little less. Excellent cooling, enough for a dual-cpu server board and 6 x 15k rpm hard drives just fine (all 6 hard drive bays are directly in-line with the front two 120mm fans, so the fans cool the drives directly). No …

Did this card -EVER- work in any system before? Is it just now throwing these errors for some reason? Can you try the same card in another system to see if the card is actually faulty? Maybe delete all the autoexec.bat/config.sys blaster entries and the software folder and re-run the install from …

Re: SB0090: is this the "real" Audigy?
Posted on 2014-02-12, 20:20
I don't know if that's the "Real" audigy or not but I did want to chime in that you are right to ask this. I have a local used computer store that has a bin with all kinds of PCI sound cards tossed in there in indiviual static bags with a little price stuck on it, usually $5 - $10. I've bought about …

Actually I've found AthlonXP chips to be fantastic for MS-DOS SVGA modes for gaming, at least in descent II, Duke3D, and Quake, if they can be paired with a decent video card to give good dos VGA/SVGA performance. And My A-XP systems are the only ones I can find that can manage above 60 FPS in walk- …

I don't have any reliable way of testing SVGA modes but I do believe anything that does exceptionally well in the VGA side would also do significantly well on SVGA modes as well. So likely the cards at the top of my list would probably be the go-to choice for those interested in SVGA game modes, …

Make sure you check the thermals on your Voodoo3 after a while, careful but maybe finger touching the heatsink, it might burn you though. I had a problem with my voodoo3 3000 AGP Card getting so hot it would artifact in games and cause distortion and crashes. I solved it by jury rigging a 60mm fan …
DOS VGA Video Card Performance Testing
Posted on 2014-02-12, 05:18
I don't quite think there's an information post like this up here yet, so I set to creating one. The purpose of this testing: Determine the fastest PCI and fastest AGP video cards for MS-DOS VGA gaming. The system used for testing was not changed and left consistant through out the testing, only the …

Scsi raid on the 32bit pci bus is useless. But I have a dual P3 1400 with 2x pci64 66mhz! and 4gb sdram! I gonna do a build video about that machine too. Need to find a nice case for it. I have some scsi stuff to do the build and it has onboard scsi. Just don't know yet what the build will be. But …

You could of also went with a Dell PERC2 pci scsi card and an array of 4-8 scsi drives in raid-0, which would of been far more "ultimate" in the storage department. Seagate released the world's first 15,000 rpm hard drive, the Cheetah X15 in SCA-SCSI format in 2000. You can buy these for < $10 each …
