I ordered a 60mm x 20mm cooling fan for the Voodoo-3 that I want to attach before I install the Voodoo-3 card. These cards run very hot and the heat is a BIG cause of these cards failing. GPU and RAM Solder joints tend to break from over heating. Philscomputerlab has video about this. https://www. …

I think user CPUShack on the CPU-World forum is doing this now. Might want to check with him.

I'd take one for a sensible price and I know at least 8 people looking after them too.

I found an 8mb Matrox G200 locally for $20 and I was hoping it would work in this system but unfortunately it does not :dead: . So I've ordered up an ATI Rage Pro Turbo 8MB card from ebay. Also I found a thread on here with another guy that kept having ISA soundcard issues in this board so I've gone …

I purchased some Advent desktop speakers from 1995 and they sound great. I think I can add an Advent subwoofer to these.

I received the ebay promise ultra 133 today and interestingly it does NOT work in my LS-486E motherboard, but it does work in my CUBX so I took that promise card out and put it back in here and both systems are up and running. Both cards have the same bios revision and look identical except for a …

These cards run very hot and the heat is a BIG cause of these cards failing. GPU and RAM Solder joints tend to break from over heating. Do you know how is the difference from your V3 to a TNT2? (in terms of the heat?) Actually i have installed a Riva128 (has no heatsick) on my super-socket 7, but …

Minor upgrade today, I replaced the Lite-On DVD drive that wasn't actually connected to anything with a 2x CD-ROM and an ISA controller card. Cost was $5. :cool: EDIT - To test the CD-ROM I threw in a Windows XP Home OEM SP2 disk and ran the system compatibility test. Seems this old dog isn't …

It may be a bit of a stretch running that game on those specs. The system requirements on game debate call for a PIII or Athlon MP processor. It also says it requires a direct x 8 compatible GPU, so I'm not sure that the Voodoo 3 will be compatible. From what I have found, this game would definitely …

It'll work. How well depends on if you're willing to put up with 15-25fps all the time, and the game requires a lot of patience anyway 😀

Very tough to compare as they have VASTLY different performance characteristics with respect to CPU and floating-point operations. I would say that winuser_pl's opinion is very optimistic and definitely only considers non-FPU intensive applications. Compare DOOM scores and Quake scores of each of …

Not even close.... my k6-3+ clocked at 550-600mhz is in games about equal to a p2-300 to 350mhz. In normal apps they can be pretty equal and actually sometimes a bit faster. in games they can't hold a candle. Clock for clock in games they are about as fast as the pentium1 mmx. The k6-3 is up to 20% …

These are performance figures based on my tests: Average of many application and game tests K6-2 233 = P233 MMX K6-2 450 = PII 266 K6-III 450 = Celeron 366 K6-III+ 577 = PII 450

Video card upgrade today, ordered an ATI Rage Pro "Turbo" 8MB PCI card last week and it came in today. HUGE 2d image quality improvements over the S3 Virge that was in there and some gains in some of the DOS benchmarks I have. The last thing I need to address is the sound, still waiting for my …
