I can add that Terminal Velocity and Battle Race do not work with the GX2, even with the S3D Toolkit. The rest of the S3D games I highly recommend you play on the GX2 😉

Wow, just such a crazy amount ram with such a lethargic CPU. The imbalance, hurts, my head. Wasn't that the time when SDRAM became very cheap just before some of those factories had to shut down in Taiwan, making SDRAM very expensive again? 512MB of RAM was indeed a very large amount of memory to …

The reason that auction got so high was because it was a special review board. That is atleast what I read on Falconfly.

I also suggest going with the Matrox. It is faster in DOS and Windows, it has better 2D and output quality and it was much more beloved in the gaming media than the S3 cards. I've never had any problems with my DOS games, and I think the issues are exaggerated. Also you need to think how many really …

I have the same CD-ROM. Might wanna replace it at some point. It is noisy as hell. It is quite noise yes, but haven't had time to play with it yet...to check up if it can get annoying when playing... That is up to you to decide ofc, but I replaced the one I had in my Compaq with a slotin 8x/32x DVD …

Was this card geared more towards CAD users? Never heard about it from a gaming perspective. If the list is going to include cards that were towards CAD / 3D animation stuff, then there are loads.

After two hours of fiddeling with not getting my 486 PCI board to boot correctly I see that the power cable to my VGA switch box has unplugged itself... The two beeps I thought was a parity error was just that CMOS system options was not set. No wonder I never got any picture on my monitor.. Yeah, …

Anyone with an EEPROM programmer who can be of service?
Posted on 2013-03-09, 01:06
Seems I need an updated BIOS for my 486 motherboard (so I can use AMD 5x86 CPUs) and only way to do it is to program it with an EEPROM. Problem is that I don't own one and I have no experience using one. The chip itself is very cheap from Ebay. Anyone who have that laying around and/or know someone …

If you extend it then the whole auction thing doesn't work anymore.. Curious how you mean sites like Yahoo Auctions and local sites doesn't work on auto extension if bids come in really close to the original end time. A traditional auction ends when the last bidder stands left, which should be the …

Only two things that you can do: 1. Put in the highest bid you would ever consider as maximum bid. 2. If you can't beat them, join them. Otherwise Ebay should have had an "time extend" auction option if bids were coming in 5 min before the end, but we can only wish...

I've got an SC-88 (non-pro, as I just wanted something that was an SC-55MkII or newer), and love it for old DOS games. I think the best-sounding game on the SC-88 in SC-88 mode (as opposed to SC-55 mode) that I've encountered is Descent. Ah, yes, Descent. Add a good, deep-sounding sub-woofer with …
