But that is the whole point: the WBDMA trick makes this already decent card the best PCI solution for DOS games compatibility (in my opinion). Much less games are prone to freezing or crashing on startup like with Aureal cards, no EMM386 requirement and lack of wavetable header of Yamaha's, drivers …

I have tried to search to these Portta VGA to audio metal ones, but it seems that its USA only thing and on eBay shipping prices to Europe are insane as for other US only stuff.. I wonder how much really cost shipping such item to Europe?

Which bios you are using? It could be bend CPU pin, or some issues with CPU / Memory clock or voltage, try to underclock it. I compatibility list are 1 numbers group listed - Q6700(G0), i dunno if there are others.. Only some Q6700 could be compatible.

The game Stargunner (published by Apogee) also has this issue on my P2 400Mhz using pure DOS - 'Runtime error R6003 integer divide by 0' when entering the setup or after the intro finishes playing. Even disabling the CPU caches or slowing down the CPU using MoSlo doesn't let me proceed so I have no …

Disable USB 2.0 (not USB in general), and SATA controler. Also, check if there are compatibility options for CPU/Chipset (like enable "legacy support for USB" or "Max CPUID Value Limit"). I will try USB2, i dont think that this MB has something for disabling of Sata controller.. there is only RAID …
