Does anyone have a PCI-based Radeon 7000 and a PCI-based 486 motherboard with SiS or UMC chipsets? If so, would you be willing to,
1) Determine the system POSTS with the Radeon card installed.
2) Determine if the Windows 98SE display drivers work properly.
3) Determine if the OpenGL drivers for the Radeon work with Quake II.
After the success of the Rage 128 on a 486, I'm continuing my expansion onward with ATI. I curious just how many more incremental frames/second one can get on a 486 board. For example, when going from the Matrox G200 to the ATI Rage 128 VR, the Quake II-GL frame rate jumped from 7.6 to 9.5 fps. The quoted frame rates are with default settings and with sound enabled.
Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.
