I could harvest ram from anything with hy5dv651622 tc-g6 and I assume hy5dv651622 tc-G55. There are 4 chips on the front and 4 on the back. Squeze testing reveals nothing. The artifacts look memory related in my opinion. As I see lines or stripes in the output the card does display however. Its not …

So this is a philosophical question. I have this rare card that I want to try to fix. Its a Elsa Gloria II pro AGP Pro 50 card. Basically a geforce 256 DDR 64 MB card for AGP pro slot that happens to be a quadro. I also have got a ATI R6 7200 with 64mb of the same exact DDR and that card works. …

The case itself isn't as remarkable. and theres a lot of surface rust inside that needs attention. I think I want to try recapping the power supply. I haven't tested it yet and even though I inspected the caps I'm sure they're bad. The memory board looks like it can be upgraded to 8mb. I'm not sure …

Re: List of Windows games which look better when using 3DFX Glide (compared to Direct3D and OpenGL)

Id look at games that have software modes, and received d3d patches, and glide pathes and games from 1996-1997. You want to look at pre directx games in general. Ported games maybe an area of interest or games that originated on consoles like ps1. Diablo II is an outlier because its such a late game …

Maybe the 5000 series do not do interleave. Rest seems like marketing to me. IDE had not fully caught on by 1989 and mfm i guess was still a thing. we wouldnt see eide untill 1994 and by that time vlb became the standard.

Do you have the original hard disk drive? I was wondering if the controller might be ESDI. The only reference I found was an eBay listing that claims the controller Is MFM/ I can do better, I found the manual. Too bad it doesn't do IDE. I now have to replace this card with an IDE one. https://www. …

Hmmm Ok for some reason makes me think of an early DTK board ?? It's made in the USA though and so is the memory board. It seems odd to me too. How many companies were manufacturing 386 Boards with 32-bit external memory card slots and all discrete logic in the United States in the late 80s. Its …

This thread has devolved fastest XP era hardware to fastest hardware I can get XP running on. XP era hardware would be about up until 2014 and thats pushing it. Contemporary hardware would probably be until 2012. And MS stopped shipping XP to retailers in 2008, while some OEMs shipped it until 2010. …

how does the "lower" memory requirement of MOUSE.EXE 9.01 compare to CTMOUSE 1.91? Its only lower memory than to ms mouse 11 that shiped with intellipoint 2.2. CT mouse isnt as compatible, its great when it works but it has bugs wits some games and programs and it doesn't look like it will ever be …

3.2 is probably the best version.

I know it sounds dumb. Also I believe …

I thought 98SE supported the wheel natively? Isn't this only needed on 95? It only provides very basic wheel support for scrolling windows up and down. But it doesn't support the wheel button, universal scrolling, or hook 3dcontrols api. So in games that support those features it doesn't fully …
