The goal of the test was not to squeeze the max. frames or consider non-standard solutions (such as OpenGL - D3D wrappers), but just go on standard drivers and settings under Win98. 1) …

Nice system, nice quest for recovery! Here the photo of video-ram upgrade module from Compaq. I have one :) Nice! I found a couple online, but they were around $60, which raises the question, is additional 2Mb worth it, or not. I'm planning to add a Voodoo 2 at some point because I really want to …

Are there any additional settings I need to do to the controller so the PC will boot off the HDD? FDISK /MBR perhaps? where do I find MBR? fdisk just shows if the partition is active, and it is, shows up as primary dos partition. What am I missing? 1) Do you perform low-level format with DEBUG G= …

I just installed the card and it doesn't appear to be detecting the additional memory. Is there something I need to know about the physical installation or about how to detect the vram? Speedsys just says 2MB and so does some m64 tool I downloaded. WTF am I doing wrong? Is the memory not compatible …
