Hi,
I am building a "time correct" 95/96 Pentium first edition 120Mhz (0,60u) config to "correctly" try Quake and Doom generation games. It's the lowest cpu I have for the 60Mhz fsb of the MVP3 (I have a intel older simm mobo but larger for any case I have). I used 2x32MB of sdram and a 2GB ide disk. For the vga I wanted to use a S3 old card before the Virge DX but I can't find one and miss the original Virge or previous cards so I used a Cirrus Logic GD54M30 1MB pci card. For the soundcard I used a CT2950 creative board, for the NIC a KE2000 isa card.
I tried Quake and Duke3D and they run ok (not extremely fast neither slow.. seems right), I expected the vga being slower but which other 1995-96 time correct video card would you use? Do you think the Cirrus logic I used was ok to buy or already slow back then?
Thank
