Re: Is there anything better than a Voodoo 5 6000 from 2002

Yes but it really is only 32mb, it doesn't have anymore usable ram that a 32mb card. The extra ram is just like adding DDR x2.

A reproduction V5 6000 was made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgbVmYn1xZ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W6nCoLbq1k You can purchase from Anthony for $USD1500 if you can get it out of Russia. https://www.facebook.com/zxc64.hw

Digital is not possible on the 4x VSA chips. Something to do with some Analogue SLI when using 4 chips. HDMI etc is possible on 2x but not 4x chips.

The machine looks good. If you wanted to change anything you could easily and cheaply upgrade the CPU to e.g 3.2GHz. As you are running XP you will get the benefit of HT as well. Everything else looks sweet.
Re: Trying to find a better Nvidia FX 5xxx, how to tell if it's LE, XT or VE?
Posted on 2022-05-22, 21:49
Bit hard to tell with the lower end FXs. I've got a newish FX5500 from ebay that is 128bit memory but only runs at 133MHz! So I doubt this is much faster than a normal FX 5200.

Re: GA-5AX prices on Ebay are outrageous; why?
Posted on 2022-05-14, 06:26
I think I prefer the P5BV3+ over the 5AX. The Ali chipset seems to sometimes have issues with Voodoo 3s, I've seen that in the GA-5AA. The P5BV3+ seems to run the Cyrix chips very nicely. AT cases look more retro, so that is a plus. ATX is a lot easier to work with though, you've got USB and PS/2 …

Is the S3 Vision 964 better than the Trio64?
Re: S3 Savage 2000 64MB - Any Special Uses for 64MB?
Posted on 2022-04-21, 10:06
Yes I doubt 64mb would help (e.g 32mb vs 64mb Geforce 2 MX ), but it is a very interesting card, must have been made pretty late in the game (for s3).

There was this previous thread about 3dnow and banshee that may interest you. Voodoo Banshee and 3DNow! It's possible 3dnow support is only included in V3+
Re: 486 Processor Upgrade (Help)

I would go 486 DX4/100 Overdrive. If the board can do 3.3volts then you can just do DX4/100. The intel DX4s are the fatest. Unless you go AMD 5x86 or Pentium Overdrive. For me DX4/100 sounds good.
Re: Degaussing floopies
Posted on 2022-04-12, 07:49
I've had a similar issue. Sometime setting write protect on the disk allows it not to occur again. No idea really. Got a gotek. I assume the floppys are just bad.
Re: CT1350B SB2.0 on 286 w/Windows 3.1?
Posted on 2022-04-12, 04:42
Thanks guys, I will try with just the Win 3.1 SB1.5 built in drivers first. I wasn't sure if they would work. I actually had a PAS16 in my 286 but the driver crashes when trying to set the volume via the command line. Also sometimes the sound didn't work until after you ran the test tool. This is …

Yeah I suspect I will be limited due to the board being Dell OEM 🙁

I'm hoping to try with my P3 i820 + RDRAM machine, although a DDR Athlon will probably be faster. Hopefully have time over Easter to set it up.
Re: Competition! Win a 3DFX Voodoo3 Graphics Card. ----#Quake3toTheMax----

I got about 100fps with my Athlon 750 (Pluto) and Geforce DDR in 640x480 Demo1, no tweaking but no sound. Sound makes a big difference in Q3 so may need to see which sound card is fastest.
