I have a odd problem.
My retro systems system primary PCI slots are 32bit 66mhz bus witch would mean (if no 33mhz cards are in use) I should be able to get up to 266mbs out of the bus. But every PCI-e to PCI riser card I see is limited to 32bit 33mhz witch would be be a max of 133mbs.
Just wondering, seeing that higher end PCI video cards with 9x support are not all that available. Would I be better off with a slower card PCI like a PCI Nvidia 6200 or getting a card like a 6600 or 7600 with a PCI-E to PCI riser card?
A 6600 or 7600 would be much faster cards, but they would be stuck at 133mbs.The 6200 would be able to use upto 266mbs, however the 6200 is a much slower card.
Its a tricky pick. I'm almost tempted to just ditch 9x and dual boot 2k/dos so that I could use something like a pci 9400 or 210.
Games that I would be playing on the system that need a faster card would be.
Silent hill 3, Battlefront 1, KOTOR2 and UT04 at 1600x1200.
Thanks for the advice.
