I've made my decision, and restored the system to its original condition.
K6-233 with 32MB SDRAM.
Only the 4GB hard disk is still present and the compactflash adapter.
Running the 3Dmark 99 tests gives me an amazing 120 3Dmarks and 1274 CPU marks. Been watching a slide show...
So I put in my Diamond Monster Voodoo 1 card and it worked just fine on a stock Windows driver. No issues at all. And image quality, well.. guess I don't need to explain anything 😀
Touching the GPU chips I noticed they get really hot, almost untouchable. Is this normal?
Any way, the 3Dmark 99 score went up to 927 3Dmarks and 1275 CPU marks.
Since both the Aptiva and Monster card are dated 1997, I guess it'll stay this way for now. The other cards need to be tested in other systems, and maybe, hopefully, they'll work.
Stuck at 10MHz...
