Hiya! I have built a p4/2.4ghz win98se machine in order to run nicely win9x games, from the very first to the "latest" ones in 2001/2002 that won't run fine on a modern pc. The machine has 512MB ram, a 200GB HDD, a SB Live! and a v2 sli setup. All running fine. (v2 sli setup used only in glide-only …

I only tried with the latest 81xx drivers from nvidia, can't say that I see more fps than my 4200ti/64MB on my p4/win98se machine... and I only gained ~+4.000 marks in 3Dmark2001se... (it scored ~15.150 IIRC) I would expect more from a 6800GT with 256MB DDR3 vram... maybe it was wasted money for a …

@Gona: what errors you spotted with a riva128? I've been using one for some time now and did not notice any problems...

Hiya! I just acquired an AGP 6800GT/256MB for my p4 win98SE machine (thus replacing my 64MB 4200ti) and I was wondering what is the recommended driver version for it... anyone care to enlighten me? (I learned my lesson with the 4200ti driver situation 🤣 ) thanks!

Hi and welcome! first of all the most old game I recognize in your list is Zeliard - I happen to have it too - and it runs fine on my p200mmx pc. I would advice you to use win98SE on your machine , it is an improvement over 95 and you still get DOS mode. Keep your SB16 for DOS games as you really …

wow them prices...! in 1991 my IBM386sx costed ~1.100.000 drachmas, that is ~3.250eur by today's exchange rate, ofcourse back then 1.1mil was way more money than 3.2K eur... I like the SB prices btw... 500+ $ for an awe32 or 103 for an ASP upgrade... 🤣

nah I think the resistors are the same, there are some color variations in tones from manufacturer to manufacturer and even if they are different it could mean that they are still inside the limits of the current they want... I see dacow's card has a 2.02 DSP too... that's a SB2 v2.0 IIRC

@ DK: don't bother sending another chip yet, I have actually both types from you, LP and LPN ... none work with my two CT1350B cards... also here is the difference between LP and LPN: http://i44.tinypic.com/v41g.jpg LPN is just a lead-free chip... nothing that makes a difference in the program …

Does your game allows to choose 2 sound cards? one for samples and another for music? Many old games only used one sound card, often when you choose a roland or other music synth you are basically trading off (most or all) sfx for better music.... Don't bother with loading sfx in soundfond memory …

interesting.... I thought he had another revision to work with... I guess he was occupied in getting CMS to work and did not bother checking the rest functions... even I when I tested my cards just heard some cms goodness and thought all was OK... I too also think there is only one version of the …
