Hi guys! 😀
I'm new here, plus i have very little experience with the SS7 plataform, so please forgive any dumb mistakes. Also, my english is pretty crappy.
So, i built a PC with this parts:
- Epox MVP3G2 motherboard, with 1 MB of L2 cache and 256 MB of RAM
- AMD K6-2 333AFR processor, @400 MHz (100x4)
- Diamond Viper V550 video card, 16 MB of VRAM
- Sound Blaster AWE64 CT4500
with the intention of playing late DOS games and Windows games up to the late 90's. So far, it's working out pretty well, but i advice on some stuff:
About the CPU:
- 1- I also have a Pentium 166MMX, should i use that one instead of the K6-2? I can underclock it to 133 at 66x2, but i can't on the K6-2 because the 2x multiplier is hardwired to the 6x one.
- 2- I may be able to get a K6-2 500, should i get that? Does it perform noticeably better?
About the video card:
- 1- SimCity 2000 currently crashes in Windows 3.1 with the nVidia drivers tnt5w311.zip from http://win31.de/edrivers.htm, but works fine in DOS and Win9x. I've read online the Win3.1 TNT drivers are kinda unstable, so i guess it's that. I may be able to get an S3 Trio3D 2x 8 MB AGP, would that be more compatible with Win 3.1?
- 2- Should i get a Voodoo 2? Especially for DOS games, like Quake and Tomb Raider. Also, will i get better performance in games like Unreal with the Glide renderer?
