I used to have a K7T Turbo2 in my Socket A machine back in the day, and afaik it supports 3,3V AGP Which is older and use SDRAM. You can mod some (or maybe all) nForce 2 motherboards to work with AGP 1.0 cards by directly attaching 3.3v rail to AGP port. Or by doing something ingenious like this: …

Can't have AGP 3.3v on those. Well, not without slot mod at least.

You're running it on blatantly unefficient driver version. 7800GS is performance is on par with 6800 Ultra.

Radeon HD 2xxx/3xxx can be installed on vanilla kernel with simple file editing. And with some more shenanigans, everything up to HD 6xxx. http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/571484.html - browse and use at your own risk.

You sure 2x Athlon XP (which can have a max power dissipation of up to nearly 80W) will run on 25A on the 5v rail? From what I've seen, almost all, if not all dual Socket A mobos use additional connectors, which most likely 12v rail. So realistically - dual Tualatin setup is maximum what you can …

For some reason game runs in 12 fps. Weird, but some PS1 games ran at very low frame rates. For example FF7 battle scenes run at 15 fps even on "recent" PC port. Guys, after some search i found that ATI X1900 will be the most powerful and most compatible card for old games But only in NT5.x …

I don't dispute that, but were there any Bartons with an unlocked multiplier? Most of CPUs AMD made in 2003 were fully unlocked.

S3 has very extensive support with third party utilities. Rage doesn't, but usually has better image quality, because they were mostly manufactured for ATi with strict quality control.

The Athlon XP 3000+ is Barton core and I think all the Bartons for desktop PCs were with a locked multiplier. Nope. Also Barton and Thoroughbred-B CPUs were both manufactured almost alongside each other and until the end, latter as Sempron and Geode series. To my surprise I can't change the multi. …

If there comes a time when we could acquire ARM compatible I don't see anything exciting about it. x86 or ARM doesn't matter much at this point. Both are very old CPU architectures with piles of legacy stuff and workarounds.
