Ok, could use some input from the experts. I started a build a couple of years ago and I tabelled it, no time. Getting back to it. So here's the core system:
- Tyan S1854 mainboard (Apollo Pro 133A chipset, ES1373 onboard)
- Pentium III 667/256 Slot I
- 128MB PC-133 SDRAM
- IDE -> SD-CARD Adapter (32GB SD card)
- Windows XP (was considering Windows 98SE also - may do both since it's SD-CARDs 🤣)
For GPUs, I have the following:
- eVGA TNT2 M64 (e-tnt2 m64.032-a4-nv02-s1)
- ASUS A7000 Radeon (A7000/T/N/64M/A)
- ATI Rage 128 (6001829)
- nVidia Riva TNT2 M64 Vanta (6001674)
- nVida MX 440 (08y485-69861)
- Creative nVidia Riva TNT2 Ultra (CT6870) + (CT7230) DVD PCI Decoder
For sound cards:
- the onboard ES1373
- Creative CT4780 Sound Blaster Live (Actually have 2 of these)
- Creative CT4810 Sound Blaster 128 PCI
- Creative SB0200 Sound Blaster Live
- Creative CT3670 Sound Blaster AWE32 w/IDE Controller (ISA to boot!!)
What do people think? I was thinking either the MX 440 or the Radeon w/the onboard ES1373 or the CT4810.
BTW - Games-wise I am looking at these:
- Doom / Doom 2
- Spear of Destiny / Wolfenstein 3D
- Rise of the Triad
- Scorched Earth
- GTA 1 / 2
- Half Life / Opposing Force / Blue Shift
- Wacraft II BNE
- Diablo II
- Heretic
- Hexen
- SimCity 2000 / 3000
- Epic Pinball
- Space Quest / Kings Quest
- Quest for Glory: So You Want to be a Hero?
- and so - this generation though
