Have you tried running some of the later dos games in high res like 1280x1024 IE Quake/Duke3d?

Nope. I am afraid I currently have nowhere to plug my PC in to achieve such a high resolution. I'm using the kitchen TV for output.

Hi, I have 3 questions tough.
(1) How much free UMB do you get on that board in DOS without using third part program ?
(2) Is that a complete AGP port with the ability to turn the onboard graphics off completely ?
(3) Does it work flawlessly in win 98 ?

Hope you read this, I am interested in buying one myself.

Quite a thread Necro...

Anyway, I have a board similar to this as well as a PIAGP setup.

Mine have the 865 chipset.

The full ISA support is handled by an ITE8888 PCI-ISA bridge chip.

These boards work fine in Windows 98SE.

The AGP slot is 8x.
