I am going to borrow a fluke multimeter and check them. Where can I buy the replacement resistors and Q502, Q503 and Q504? They look like little black transistors. I checked the connector and there was no burn marks on either of them.

tbh since your running win7 I honestly see no reason to run stock hl. It plays exactly the same in steam as it does off the original cd but your sound will probably work fine.

I honestly dont care, I dont know why they didnt do this 4 years ago. Bigger brand awareness for AMD. Lets start a rumour that amd graphics cards only work with amd cpus. mwahhaha

98 doesnt have a compatibility mode and eduke is awful imo changes the feel of the game too much. Ive played around with settings but nothing seems to get it to what i'd call a faithful version.

First of all its not really a problem with duke3d just an annoyance. I have the atomic edition and it requires the cd to be in the drive at all times. No data is read off the cd. Theres a 400 odd mb file in \support\ that is refrenced in a file called cdrom.ini in the duke folder, i have tried …

voodoos arrived installing 98 now Just formating the hard drive which I believed was 40gig but for some reason fdisk reads it as 12,99.63 which seems a bit odd. Any ideas? I dont know the model of this hdd, will have to look in device manager.

Just stuck the awe64 gold in and upgraded the hardrive to a 40 gig drive. Is there anyway to wire up the awe64 to the ports on the front of the case?
