Alright so I was looking in my attic and found alot of my old dos games. I got rid of my old packard bell pc (Stupid Me!) so now i'm trying to build a new old pc.
Here is what I got...
Abit, AB-BX6, Motherboard, Slot1, w/ Pentium II CPU ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem … e=STRK:MEWNX:IT )
Creative Sound Blaster Awe 64 ISA NEW 16 Bit ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem … e=STRK:MEWNX:IT )
3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 16MB AGP 2x PCI Video Graphics Card ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem … e=STRK:MEWNX:IT )
Crucial 128MB 168-pin DIMM SDRAM PC133 ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem … T#ht_500wt_1413 )
Hyundai 128MB 168-pin DIMM SDRAM PC133 ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem … T#ht_500wt_1413 )
First off I'm not sure if my motherboard is rev2 or not. If it is would it say rev2 on the board itself.
Now off to my problems...
I had to replace the cmos battery right from the start.
I get this beep code with the voodoo3 gfx card...

I put in a new BFG Nvidia GFX card that is the only extra agp card I have. and it Will now give me the the post screen however it stalls after it shows the cpu.
I'm not sure if it is doing that because it's a newer gfx card and it's not supported by the motherboard or if it is something else causing this.
Is my voodoo3 card dead? I don't have any other pc to test it in.
I also tried a newer pci ati gfx card and it gives me the good single beep but nothing shows on the screen.
I just want to be able to play all dos games with ease. From crystal caves to duke nukem 3d.
Does anybody have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Rick
