Re: Is a Voodoo 2 worth the cost

Posted on 2020-09-09, 19:12

Something I don't like, tho, is that nglide, the major glide wrapper, doesn't allow me to force 16x AF and 4x AA in graphics card control panel, it just ignores these, and it's noticable. On a voodoo5 I should be able to enable some FSAA and maybe some AF, idk, I don't have one, I want one, I'm …

This is unexpected, the first raptor that came dead... looks like a friend was somehow able to fix it... so I now have 2... what to do, sell? Probably no one other than me buys old hard drives tho... How about add it to this build to set up a RAID array with the other one 😁

I gave it to a friend that works in electronics repair service and knows his stuff... Seems like he can't fix it, says "it has a giant short on the card's 3.3v power rail, it gonna need something BIG to burn trough it. Probably something in-between the PCB layers. 10 amps from my bench power supply …

Raptor made an audible noise while it was hanging outside the case as I was setting things up, but now that its inside, really some fan noise is all I can hear... honestly its not a particularly loud machine, its probably comparable to my main PC actually. BTW I feel the AXP 3000+ may be holding …

As it turned out not quite as well as I expected it to. I tried running Serious Sam completely maxed out and at 1600x1200 with 16x AF and 6x AA, and fps was not great, had to lower to 4xAA and reduce a couple of game settings to get avg 60. Gee, was that game the Crysis of its time or what, a top of …

Can I get a little bit of assistance, I'm trying to finalize the build now, and, Win98SE install does not see the Raptor, says no hard drives detected. On drivers site https://soggi.org/motherboards/asus/A7N8X-Deluxe-2.0.htm I see theres a RAID driver for win9x, but, unlike win2k/XP where I know how …

2nd WD 36gb Raptor that I bought with the refund from the first one, arrived today, this one seems to be working fine, hd sentinel detects 100% health and 530 days power-on time. Interestingly, this new one is not being detected on my main PC where I tried to test it first, unlike the previous one I …

Re: Install Win98 on a 120gb partition (1 TB hdd)?

Posted on 2020-07-31, 13:23

Look around for BHDD31.ZIP, shouldn't be too hard to find, it's a patch for win9x that adds LBA48 support, and theoretically it should allow it to work fine on HDDs up to 2TB. I'm using it on a laptop with 320gb HDD so I can confirm it works. There's also another patch that adds NTFS partition …

https://i.imgur.com/HLu9gSP.jpg And now here's the Athlon XP 3000+, fastest cpu of the early months of 2003, was surprisingly hard to find, but got it quite cheap :) at 2167mhz, its not really much slower than the 2200mhz 3200+ that came out 3 months later, which, at that point P4 HT 3.2 had …

https://i.imgur.com/LH8mCnO.jpg Heres one more WD Caviar SE 250gb, this one is a bit weird because it doesnt say "SE" on the label, but I tested it just now and hard disk sentinel detects it as Caviar SE and detects the correct 8mb cache. This makes two WD2500JBs, I need 2 more to fill all the 3.5" …
