I heard people say it does not have 16-bit DMA, "You can only set the low and high DMA channels to 1 or 3, preventing 16-bit sound in BUILD engine games." Does that mean you get so sound in Duke Nukem 3D?

I am looking to buy this card, will this card work on my Pentium 1 system (I'm also upgrading the RAM to 96MB) I'm looking to get sound in Windows 9x games and DOS games.

My machine currently has no OS since I am waiting for a soundcard and some RAM, but once I have that I will try Commander keen and other old games in DOS mode and if my PC supports it I will disable cache to make my cpu slower for these games.

Depends on how many ISA slots there are, but an ISA ethernet will suffice for most things. 10 Mbps is still much better than none. Plenty of affordable sound cards around 20 € with AL100, Crystal or ESS chips. I am currently bidding on a Avance Logic ALS100 Plus REV 2.0 with the LS262 OPL3 clone …

Not a mistake at all. The Pentium classic is still useful for early Windows 9x games up to 1998 but don't expect smooth 60 FPS with 3D games on it because it wasn't achievable at the time regardless of any 3D accelerator. BTW, not every Windows games are necessarily 3D accelerated. ;) Well yeah, …

I actually remembered that I do have another PC: CPU: AMD Sempron 1.8Ghz RAM: 512 MB (I keep 512 so I don't have to bother with Windows 98 RAM limit) GPU: Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128 MB and I usually had Windows 98 SE on it, But I still kept looking for an older PC, like the Pentium 1 I got to play …

I read you don´t own a 3D accelerator yet. Prices are high for period correct PCI 3D accelerator cards. Maybe you could get a Rage 3D Pro (or its a newer variant, the Rage XL) which is still affordable. It will let you play all of the above mentioned decently. In the meantime, your system will …

I will soon upgrade the memory to 96 MB's and a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 (if it's gonna work). So, what games should I definitively try? DOS/Windows games all welcome, but no emulators, I can emulate on a stronger machine. The more games the better, and I would like to see some 3D games even tho I do …

I have a Pentium 133 is there any way to play games from 1989 - 1992 or are the games thar require 8088 / 8086 or a 286 just unplayable? I tried running Commander Keen 1: Marooned on Mars from Windows 98 SE and it only printed some garbled text and stopped.

also Win2000 will be unusable on 48mb RAM anyway. NTs love them some memory Probably the earliest "requires Win2000" minimum game I can think off-hand is Doom3. Taking a Win2k requirement and "2D only" into consideration would probably end up in the regression-happy Free software ville, i.e. …
