GeForce 6 should be fine. With external Power Connector even the faster ones. As far as I remember. GF-6200 does not have FOG table, and many older games like that. As far as NFS-2K (no Win98 pc without, thank's), it is not possible for me to get it going on my 6200 AGP at all. Geforce3/4 is the …

So Im planning to build a DOS/Win 3.11 system , which will be either a late 486 or , if I can't be bothered with the hassle of a 486, a sub 100Mhz Pentium (probably using a 430FX or VX chipset) However, Im not sure which version of DOS is the best for this kind of setup , seems like it would either …

PCIe x16 to PCI Adapter and a lowEnd PCIe Graphicscard ~25W. Does not sound like a good idea, the GFX card might be too incompatible with Win98 games. I started this conversation by asking for the best, not the fastest number chrunching card. By the best, I am thinking of the fastest out of those …

Just mounted a 60mm BallBearing CPU-Fan on my V3-3500, to keep the heat down. Used some of that cotton string that are normally used for binding meat together when cooking it. I thought that if it's good enough for a ovenroast, then it must be ok for a V3-3500. Tied the string through the holes on …

In Sweden we have Tradera.com and Blocket.se Tradera is the Swedish Ebay but 99.9% of the sellers only ship within Sweden. Ebay tried to get people to stop using Tradera and use Ebay instead but it diddnt work so they bought Tradera. Tradera is a shit company though so I often do the buissness …

But eager to see what the card is like :) TNT2's are great when carefully selecting the right hardware. I like them with SS7 system's using K6-II-500 and K6-III-400. Or just a tiny bit faster than this. They are in the league of V3-3000. On some systems a bit faster and on other systems a bit …

I think the board feed's the G400 too much. It's getting extremely hot, and has some wierd GFX issues wich are not present when running on a SS7 system. No issues at all, running on an Asus P5A and a Gigabyte GA-5AX. And no heating up like that too.... I enjoyed some 1024x768x16-gaming tonight... …

Everything is from the same seller in Sweden so the shipping was cheap as chips. Where do you find all these things online in Sweden? Are the sellers the same kind of people as those on "DBA", wich only ship's nationally? Seems like most stuff are gone here in Denmark. :-( Would really love to …

Nice... Looks like my p3-500 1999 pure machine (every single arts from 99). What about the game menu? Do the text stand out 100% clear and sharp? Do the gearshifter hand make some sort of spastiv movements when shifting gear?

I bet that, regardless of cable length, if you got a cable to use as a pass-thru which you knew for fact used 75-Ohm mini-coax cable on all five lines (R, G, B, H-Sync, V-Sync) that this would work just fine no matter the card combo. Huh!!! Cable technology is what I don't understand. Nothing bad. …

Got rid of the interferance and problems regarding the gfx. I swapped the G400 with an Compaq TNT2 Ultra, and installed driver version 29.42 So it was not the cable at all. Just the V2 not behaving with the G400. Buying that extra thick cable at a lower price, really paid off in one bizarre way I …

You probably need to adjust Texel Alignment (texel origin adjustment) to get things just right in Porsche and a few other games. It's a problem nVidia cards had from TNT up to GFFX and on. Starting with the GF3 chips they changed things so it fixed some problems and caused new ones, and wouldn't …
