I would use XGL200 as the Glide wrapper for those older fixed function cards. XGL200 wraps to Direct3D6 so it should be ideal for the Matrox. It's a VERY old wrapper too (February 1999), it's part of the bunch of wrappers that existed just because of UltraHLE being glide only, driving wrapper …

If you have some funds, can you add PCI UltraATA/133 or SATA150 for best HDD performance? I have a Ultra/133 promise controller but the bottle neck is PCI32bit So UltraATA100 is more then enough speed. Sata in a retro build :surprised: :cool: Some retro enthusiast want to installing SATA on their …

I am so impressed looking your rigs, Dual Xeon was a beast. Hmm... Maybe can you benchmark your beast rig? 3DMark 2001SE or else?

G400 and glide wrapper? Which one? Nglide need shader moder 2.0 for the full support. DirectX 9.0 compatible videocard, in other words. Minimal videocard is Radeon 9xxx/Geforce 5xxx. G400 is standard dx6 compatible videocard. Even hardware t&l (dx7 requirement) isn't implemented. Overkill minimum …

Posted on 2013-04-24, 04:17
Can Matrox G400 handle Glide wrapper well in W98? Because I don't have Voodoo2. I had reading on Wikipedia about Matrox G400, it was competitive with NVIDIA RIVA TNT, ATI Rage Pro, and 3dfx Voodoo3. But G400 MAX more competitive with TNT2 Ultra and Voodoo3 3500. I want to overclock my G400 in order …

Nice case and specification Can you OC your PIII and V5 5500? And why you not using AMD Athlon? Because Athlon can outperform PIII Coppermine (I think)

I had installing bolder heatsink, but I got some problem to installing Slot 1 CPU. How about P2B-F multiplier limited to x8.0? So some people said not all PC133 SDRAM support this, it is true? Is PII Klamath unlocked multiplier?
