The photos dont work anymore but I'll always remember when Vets found a boxed version of the Matrox Impression, only supported 3 games. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17341&start=4320#p365941 http://old.vgamuseum.info/home/1172-matrox-impression-isa.html Pictures fixed in the original …

I've personally had problems running that board in Win98. Not saying you will experience the same, but I had strange issues popping up all the time. This only happened in Win98, XP was stable and had no problems. It got so annoying that I killed the project as a Win98 system.

Nice work! I hope you'll do some benchmarks and test other CPUs and motherboards 😀 Would also be interesting to know if you need the PL-NEO 370 adapter.

Skyscraper: Did the seller claim the ASUS board worked with the Powerleap adapter? Because that board model is mentioned on the Powerleap compatibility page as not working.

Hi Unfortunately trading is not allowed here on VOGONS, so the thread will be closed. I suggest you post your wanted ad on sites like Amibaf, VCF and also check out local ads. Saving a search on Ebay so you get notification if a card shows up is a good tip 😀

Just about to reply here, but Stiletto beat me to the punch. I agree, the thread will just become a mess and too much really useful information will be hard to search for later users. Appiah4, all your questions are worthy its own thread. Also guys, keep up with the good answers 😀

I can't think of a single DOS game that can run on a VLB system that requires 2MB. Higher memory is only a benefit if you're going to run Windows or other office applications on your system since it allows higher resolutions with higher amount of colors. Thanks. There is someone selling one of …

What can you do with 2Mb card that you can't do with 1Mb card? Any games that require 2Mb or games that allow you to play with smooth frame rates with higher resolution on a system that you would use a vlb card in?
