Hello, I recently got an AMD 586 (looks like the rest of the hardware is from a 486) and it came with Windows 95 installed.
However this is using 256 colors and if my memories of 23 years ago are not confusing me, I believe that everything seems more ugly.
Was not the standard for that time 16-bit color?
I do not know exactly what video card I'm using, but I guess I'll have to switch.
Does anyone have any suggestion of a video card to be able to have 16 bit color?
Would a 3dfx video card solve this?
Another thing is that I also intend to install windows 3.11 and I will not know what was standard of the time.
Does anyone have a PC like this and have information on what I should expect?
I want to play games such as Phantasmagoria, Sim City 2000 and Sim Tower.
I do not know if I will have problems with the resolution using the current board and a 3dfx with DOS and win 3.x...
Any information on how DOS, windows 3.x and 9x worked with video at the time helps, as well as tips from articles, blogs or other relevant topics here in the forum.
Thanks for your time.
