I was thinking about my third vintage pc..
Now i have this:
My first pc specs will be:
- AMD 386 DX 40mhz [256KB cache]
- MSI Contaq 386 motherboard.
- 20 MB of ram..
- SIIG IDE controller E-IDE
- Thinking of using an 4GB harddisk (2 partitions) (need it for an huge archive of games)
Backup on CF card..
- 16-bit STB Nitro 1MB ISA VGA card (maybe later will replace it)
- Aztech Sound Galaxy II OPL3 YAMAHA with XG60 YAMAHA daughterboard.and PC-speaker connected.
- Gravis Ultrasound ACE (need find a memory upgrade for it)
- Roland LAPC-I (MT-32)
- Roland CM-300 (Sound Canvas SC-55)
- Joystick Dual controller card.
- NEW AT compatible case.
- TEAC 1.2mb 5.25 floppy drive
- TEAC 1.44 3.5 Inch floppy drive
- 3.5 inch CF reader
My second Rig will be:
AMD K6 (thinking of using an + or III+ for lower volt and down clock it to 266 / 300 Mhz)
Tyan Trinity 100AT (S1590) SS7
384 MB of sd-ram pc100
(graphics thinking of diamond (geforce 256 would be to fast)
TEAC 1.44 floppy drive 3.5
1.2 MB floppy drive..
2x creative voodoo 2 SLI
cd-rom / DVD combo
120 GB harddisk..
Soundcard (thinking of using GUS MAX or primax soundstorm) / combo AWE 32 / AWE 64 OR diamond monster sound mx 300 with daughterboard
second hand pimped case..
Roland SCC-1 sound canvas.
Now i was thinking for an 3rd system so i can play the games that are to fast for my second rig.. I want to have an full cover over all that later games..
The stuff i have laying:
Pentium 4 HT 3.06 Ghz Socket 478 533 FSB
1GB Dual channel Kingston Hyperx DDR
SOYO SY-P4I845PEISA Socket 478 I845PE 3 ISA Slots
Thinking of Nvidia 7950GT (have laying an ATI 3850 AGP but making to much noise imposible to replace the fan because of bad PCB layout)
(soundcard i dont know. most of the games are using an PCI soundcard, so why should i use ISA again?
Maybe put again 2x voodoo SLI in (for glide games)
harddisk i dunno yet..
Its usable for a lot of games I keep it in mind if the graphics card will be dead it will be hard to replace. for an other 7950GT graphics card..as example.
The games that needs te be run on this 3rd machine also need run games like Pentium II 400mhz games and faster.. so i don`t want to make this rig to fast for it..
For upgradabillty i was thinking of make a Athlon64 S939 system(then i cancel the P4 one). I had that computer to in the ierlier days to so its nice history for me.. and is pci-express, so its iesier to find an pci-express graphics card for it.
What should you guys recommend me? and what os should i use?
Windows 98 SE or windows xp or dual boot?
