I have a Pentium II 300 Mhz running Windows 98. It currently has a Matrox Millennium G200 8MB card for the GPU. I use the machine for DOS gaming and games that run only in Windows 98. I like to run games such as Blood, Shadow Warrior, Duke Nuke Em and Redneck Rampage in DOS as well as some other older DOS non FPS games. I tried a few early 3D games in Windows sometimes with good results and other times the GPU is obviously struggling. I was surprised how well Arx Fatalis ran, but it was still just short of playable. The DOS FPS games run well with the Matrox. I already have a selection of old GPUs in my collection and was wondering if I should switch to any of them or stay where I am. They are:
Gateway 16MB NVD01.0 AGP-VGA NV999.0
Creative CT6710 Nvidia Riva TNT 16mb AGP
Diamond Stealth 64 Video 2001 (S3 Trio64V+) PCI
nVidia GeForce2 MX200 32MB AGP
Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (S3 ViRGE) AGP PCI
What do you think?
486 DX4-100 (overdrive)
16MB 72-pin SIMM RAM (2x8MB)
1MB Diamond Speedstar Pro VLB video card
SB 16 Value CT2770
AOpen VI15G Socket 3 Motherboard
HDD/FDD VLB controller card
