I'm upgrading my retro system, no agp. However the cpu and main pci bus are directly attached so its not as choked as most pci only systems. I get about 162mbs out of the main pci bus and about 126mbs out of the secondary bridged pci slots.

I bought a 1.4ghz Piii for the system. The kind with 512kb of L2 and a BFG OC 6200 with 256mb 128bit ram.
just wondering, would this be a good mix? I'm wanting to play games like KOTOR and biohazard 4 at or close to 1600x1200. I know the CPU can play those games from past experience, but I never had a 6200.

After giving it some thought. I'm thinking I should have bought a faster pci-e card with a PCI adapter, like a 6600 or 7300. But I thinking the pci-e to pci adapter would choked and negate the benefit of a faster gpu.

The system is running 98 and has 256mb of ram.
Maybe I should upgrade from 98 to 2k, dual boot dos and drop in a 8400? Or am I just over estimating what the pci bus can do?

Thanks.
