Re: My KT133A DOS / Win98SE Build

I seem to remember that when I upgraded in 2000 to a AMD Duron 650@900 that my old SB16 couldn't keep up in Windows games, I got a lot of stuttering, which is why I went across to a SBLIVE at the time. I still have that machine and You can successfully use the ISA bus sound card in Dos with a floppy …

Re: Sound blaster Live Dos Sound Emulation

in DOS

Re: Best DOS video card?
