Hello everyone
I'm looking into the best options for my Packard Bell Pulsar desktop. I plan to run Windows 95 and MS DOS on this machine. Looking at the specs for these models mine is a Pulsar 23 model onwards.
Will the Aztech 16C / 2320 sound card work well in DOS? It's definitely ISA but will i run into issues? Is it work getting another card? I'm not worried about actual sound quality or MIDI quality i just want it to work.
I also want to put a PCI graphics card into this machine because when i was a kid and had this machine (the PB Pulsar 19 model to be exact) I wanted one so badly. Now it's irrelevant obviously but I'm just really curious how it would have performed if i actually managed to get one back then. I know it's useless for DOS which is mainly what this will be used for but to cure my curiosity would be nice. I did notice the later models which my new one is has a ATI Xpert XL or Matrox Mystique GPU onboard instead of the S3 Trio my original had but I'm sure this is just as useless as mine back then??
I would love a 4MB 3DFX card or something but they are stupid money over here so any other ideas welcome as I'm really not sure what would be period correct and work well in this system without the 233Mhz P1 bottle necking the card.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
