Well the drivers didn't helped xD, because the newest are only for NT >.> well for result. I run memtest for like 4 hours and the memory was ok. I tested some dos stress test reading floppy cd hd doing ram test and processor test at the same time and nothing. I think there's a strange thing, when I …

UP: Ok I installed all again from zero (there was a problem with the windows 98 cd). Installed W98 ok. Installed ati radeon 7200 and drivers ok tested directdraw and direct3D, all tests are ok. tested quake 2 ok (19fps, demo1.dm2 D:) now when I installed the isa sound card. -Windows ui works fine ( …

I say the gpu is not dead if it were dead,the pc wouldn't start,and u get no image on the monitor,i think the problem is driver related or it could be some incompatibility Remove the soundcard,just to remove 1 posible couse of driver and compatibility problem. Reinstall windows 98se. Install via …

North Bridge: VIA VT82C598 Apollpo MVP3 South Bridge: VIA VT82C56B since the ram is 128mb and the video ram is 256mb, should I put the agp aperture to 4mb? EDIT: I installed this software:http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/VIA_4in1_443v.zip but for now I don't notice something different :s EDIT2: Now …

- Did you install DirectX? Which version? Radeon 7200 is a DirectX 7 level card so you should install at least DirectX 7. - Did you install the necessary VIA drivers? Especially the AGP driver is probably necessary, I'd probably go for the VIA 4-in-1 drivers. Be careful not to use a too modern …

So, I really don't know what's happening,I reinstalled windows 98se (again) and I don't know if it's the drivers or other thing. The video card is a ATI RADEON 7200, and here is the system config: -Motherboard: Via ms-5189 -Ram: 128mb sdram dimm -Processor:pentium mmx 233MHz -OS:windows 98 se -HD …

So, I discovered why all that blue screen :D It's because one of the video drivers that I tested isn't 100% deleted =/, and that driver didn't work well, so I needed to use another one... But the problem now is that every driver that I test fails because It may be using some parts of the old driver …

Finally It´s working \o/ The problem was the video driver that was installed and required directx8.1 while the computer was using an older version... Video: working fine (Testing old drivers to see if it can increase the performance) Ram:128mb for now (does it need more ? xD) Sound:Fine (I liked the …

Update: it looks like there were a problem with The 256mb nem so ill only let 128mb for now. I bought The game theather 64 but i couldnt start Windows =/. So i formated it and reinstalled it... well at dos mode, The secret monkey island didnt get sound, doom too but it freeze when The demo map loads …

Concerning the memory problem,are u sure the mainboard supports 256mb sdram dimms? My socket super 7 mb with ali chipset only supports 128mb sdram dimms. Acording to the manual yes. It support the max 256mb of a single dimm and 128 from a single simm. It looks like sometimes he detects just one …

Also does tomb raider 2 is too slow on a pentium MMX 233MHz (I mean, it´s slow in most of big areas, even from the lowest resolution to the highest) TR2 was released in 1997, the same year the Pentium MMX 233 was released. I'd guess it should be fine. Keep in mind that the game enforces a 30fps …

UPDATE2 finally I could install windows 98 \o/, too bad it only detected 39gb from 80 =/ Continuing, I put now the radeon 7200 gpu that is more older, but I´m having a weird problem (2 actually) 1)When I´m playing a game that uses 3D in some time the game will freeze (not even blue screen) 2)When I …

Weird news It looks like the new gpu (nvidia FX5500) worked fine on it O_o. The radeon 7200 was working but somehow this motherboard dislike it :s I pluged all (hard disk, dvd drive, floppy) and it looks like it didn´t detected the dvd and the hd, well, I need to check the bios when I could control …

Bad news, it looks like the mother board dislike the ati radeon 7200 =/ (1 long beep and 3 short beeps) It´s strange, because the gpu is agp2x compatible :s I´ll test the gpu on a newer system to check if it´s still working (I hope it´s, I love the ati radeon 7200) if not I already found some …

That´s the problem xD I don´t have the Guillemot, that´s why I´m curious a bout what should I select, Also it´s bigger and could expand to 18mb of SIMM (2mb onboard) and the awe64 only have 1mb '-'

Welcome! Wow I like that case, you don't see new ones of those often these days. Re the sound card / gpu - what games are we talking? And what OS? I think the same thing about the case on the first day I saw it to sell, I buy it without thinking, and wow, on the next day, the guy didnt even have …

A long time ago I entered on the Old world of computers, I was thinking what is the machine that will allow me to play almost all games since the start and till 2000, also, the project needed to be cheaper, so I thinked the best system would be a Socket 7 one. Some time researching, I ended finding …
