Hi folks,
I am a first time poster here, but I am a long time old school gamer.
I am interested in hearing from someone who has experience with the Asus P3C-E i820 motherboard (yes, I know it has rambus, but the price of it is very doable these days) and I am particularly interested in this board because of THAT Yamaha, yes THAT Yamaha YMF 744 onboard (amazing that a chipset designer had a clue to put such a quality chip on board that has tremendous flexibility) and it's real OPL3 chip.
I am interested in this board above the Abit BX6 rev 2.0, which has the SB-Link for two reasons: 1) the support of real 133 Mhz front side bus, and 2) the compatibility of running my Voodoo 5 5500 at AGP spec of 66 Mhz (unlike the Geforce 256 DDR, my understanding is that the Voodoo 5 5500 won't handle the 133 / 89, AGP 2/3 divider when running the BX at 133 Mhz front side bus.
So, my question is does the Yamaha onboard the Asus P3C-e support REAL mode DOS?
