Dear Forum Members,
I am currently testing out my friend's "CC Power" Pentium 90MHz build for replacing my current main retro build, an i486/DX2@66MHz with plain ISA slots only. The P90 came a CT6610 (Permedia 2) and an UltraSound PnP w/1MB.
Previously, I've been interested in early 90s era stuff but since I had saved my old Matrox and Voodoo cards, I am planning on switching to the P90 machine to support a wider usage range from DOS/Win3 to Windows 95 and titles like Duke 3D, Quake, Tomb Raider, GTA, Half-Life, etc. Luckily, the BIOS has options for "Deturbo" (slowed down to 25 MHz) and "System Cache Disable" (required for some games when AdLib card inserted). Will need to test Test Drive III, Ultima VII and Wing Commander I how they perform with deturbo.
"CC Power"
* P544C@90MHz
* Intel ADVANCED/ZP
* 64MB EDO
* WDC AC21000H 1GB HDD
* 36x CDROM
* Matrox Mystique MGA-1064SG 4MB
* Diamond Monster 3D 4MB
* Sound Blaster 2.0 + CMS Chip upgrade OR AdLib Music Synthesizer Card
* Roland SCC-1 + any of my external modules (MT-32, SC-55, SC-7) via MIDI Out.
Any comments on setup or games to tests? Thanks.
