They're about a year apart, and if I had one to choose between the two here in a strictly budget mid-2001 upgrade situation, it'd be the 7500 (which is much more comparable to the GF2 Ultra and is more efficient and has fun dither options). However if I wanted to 2000 period up and absorb myself …

I have to disagree. In my opinion, best value budget card in history is without a doubt ATI Radeon 9500 yeah, but history shows it doesn't have as authorative of a slogan that the GeforceFX premiered with. therefore fx5200 > radeons that can't run the dawn fairy! Definitive Geforce FX for the …

When I imaged the bunch of my 5 inchers I've used RESQFLPY. Don't know if that works on XT, but it's a super simple program and strictly writes to a specific filename and never autodetects disk types. I had better luck with that than VGACOPY etc. and yeah it's weird how there's still no clonecd- …

Generally Geforce2s break after Forceware 61.76. Any "supported" driver after that will break stuff as it feels like Nvidia didn't test them on Win9x at that point.

It's important if you have a M919 and an AM5x86 and intend to use the good clockspeeds. 😉 I've had VLB cards go nuts with that board a 1996 ago, either burning out (Cirrus) or having severe palette issues (Tseng). It only finally reached fast stable equilibrium with a PCI S3 Trio64...

Can the 286 handle video playback? American Laser Games was banking on that back in the day. They've tuned their codec and data for 1x speed and 286s for their DOS ports. Most of the video kept being half-resolution in lots of chunks. It's noticeably visually worse than even other 1993 CD-ROM FMV …
