Unfortunately UniVBE/SDD does not helps with scroll problem nor lagging because they not VBE related problems. I have tested all known tools on many problematic cards and none of them can help on Commander Keen or Jazz Jackrabbit.

Unusual error message. Try to set the bios to "BIOS default".

The manual writes 5 jumper configs, but 3 jumpers has 8 possible jumper configs. I have not tested, but these are the 3 not documented jumper config: Jumper on only A; Jumpers on A and C; Jumpers on A, B and C.

Curious. Does the MVP3 chipset generally show faster DOOM results, or is it just with the Millennium series? For examplel, if you used a TNT card on the 430VX vs. MVP3, would the MVP3 still show a bit faster results? I have to correct my earlier statement: Also it seems VIA MVP3 is better in Doom, …

AGP Matrox cards also has small differences is DOS. G200; G200A; G400 and G400 MAX AGP cards are the fastest and they has full the same performance. G100; G450 and G550 AGP cards a bit slower and Parhelia 128MB retail AGP a bit more slower especially in Doom (12%). It is interesting, but in same …

In AGP I have only G100; G200; G200A; G400; G400 Max; G550 and Parhelia 128MB retail. But the Parhelia 128MB retail I cannot insert into this P100 benchmark because it not works on AGP 3.3V. But later I plan a DOS VGA benchmark with VIA C3 Ezra-T 1000MHz with most of my cards (about 170 cards).

I own a matrox g450 PCI, is it equivalent for the benchmark? Matrox Millennium, Mystique, Mystique 220, Millennium II and G200 PCI cards are produce very similar benchmark results. G450 PCI is a littlebit faster but this is still a less then 1% difference, so I say Matrox G450 PCI results are also …

Hi, You have bought a ELSA GLoria-L/MX card. The big chip with heatsink is the 3DLabs GLiNT MX, the left next is the Glint Delta geometry processor (triangle setup processor), the blue IBM chip is the RAMDAC and the S3 Virge chip is the "DOS copmatibility" chip. By default the Virge chip will boot …

Maybe its a different issue, because with EMM386 and a lot of memory it reports 'Can not extend server pages'. I haven't heard of this problem yet. Maybe check your bank file or generate a fresh one from the patches. Do you have success using MegaEM 3.10 with GF1 Ultrasound cards? It never works …

True. On a 386 DX-40 with overclocked ISA bus, most late ISA VGA cards enough for Wolf3D. it's also fast enough on normal bus speeds, I recently played through all of Wolfenstein 3D, extra levels and Spear of Destiny... about 40-50 hours or so on my 386DX-40 with ET4000AX ;) it runs perfectly fine. …

It's still pretty interesting that there is a big performance gap between the 495SX and M1429 chipsets. They gap might also widen or narrow depending on the manufacturer of the motherboard, or which graphics cards are used. Back in 2008/9 when I was doing my "testing", I didn't use Wolf3D for …
