A slight improvement on the L2 but so so, I guess thats the limitation of the board and chipset

I recall the TNT2 being problematic on 486 boards, but the original TNT should work with an Am5x86.

Having too many good options is a good problem to have. Personally, I'd try the Voodoo3 if I were you.

I would stay with the S3 Vision968. It has very good VESA support and mode compatibility.

i would opt for the Matrox Card. Or a Riva128 which is very good for 2D VESA compatiblity.

I think just using an older version of Winamp that supports the 486 CPU.

Why do you "think" that is all it took? Can a 133MHz Am5x86 with Winamp v2.05 play mp3's with the scrolling song name and spectrum display?

I think this is going to be the best this build can do without a bios update. It’s not great but it works better than before. Everything works, Networking, Internet and MP3 playback. This computer would definitely run better with WinNT351. I think this CPU was build for WinNT351 and NOT Win95 as …

I used an Am5x86-133 in 1997 with Win95a and didn't find it slow. I didn't use it for 3D gaming. And it seems like mp3s didn't become popular until 1998.

I think I am going to give up on WIn95 and go with A dual boot DOS/WIn3.11 for Workgroups with TCP/IP 32 patch for networking. The computer performs fine in DOS I already benchmarked it and it run good.

How about DOS/Win NT 3.51? That's a unique setup.

Well, I have only done DOS + NT4, but NT 3.51 looks like it has a similar boot loader. So you can try installing DOS onto a 2 GB partition, then make another 2 GB primary partition and try to install NT 3.51 on that. If the NT 3.51 installer is anything like the NT4 installer, it should create a …

Problem is even a 5x86 struggles at 3D so really you'll be focusing on 2D You could try out some of those early 3d API's that didn't kick off https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=33483 S3 Virge S3D is the most interesting as it has the most games, I have this in my 5x86, the games run but struggle …
