I keep trying to build a "perfect" unreal and half-life (and other voodoo games) box.
I wanted to go pentium3, but I had some tyan 1854 boards with the apollo pro chipset - and I could never get voodoo cards and awe64 to co-exist. I tried everything, and believe me I do mean everything.
My solution was eventually to step back and use a socket 7 board and a k6-2/500. But I was never totally happy with that.
I recently got an Asus CUBX board off ebay. NOW I can have my cake and eat it too! The voodoo 3 and awe64 co-exist just fine. I put a 650 MHz pentium 3 - unreal plays wonderfully up 1280x1024,. and Quake in software mode all the way up to 800x600 without a noticeable slowdown! I love it!
