Ok, i'm a bit confused, not to say very confused.
For days i've been googling trying to find out what's the best vga card for games prior to windows 95, DOS games.
The information is all over the place but i couldn't find a place where i could say that this one or that one is the best.
I have a Matrox Mystique G200 with 4mb on my 486 DX4 120mhz.
Here are my doubts.
- Is it really necessary to have 4mb card on an old DOS machine?
- What's the best card to support games from that era?
I know that people say S3 is the best for this kind of machine but wich one?
I have the following cards laying around:
PCI:
S3 Trio64V+ 1 Mb
S3 Virge 325 ??? Mb
3 x SiS 6326 4 mb (one of them is on my windows 95 rig)
Real Magic 64/GX 1mb (i think this one is just a s3 Trio64/GX in disguise)
Matrox Mystique G200 4mb (it's on my 486 rig)
Diamond Monster 3dfx 8Mb (It's on my windows 95 rig)
Trident TGUI9440 ??? Mb
Trident TGUI9440-1 ??? Mb
ISA:
Cirrus Logic CL-GD5420 1Mb
I'm waiting for this two PCI cards:
Ati Mach64 4mb
ATI 3D Rage II+ DVD 4Mb
So... what card should i use for my dos rig?
Thanks
