I am looking for some decent quality CRT monitors for everyday use, preferably larger than 17" and smaller than 23", I am looking for something capable of at least 1280X960 @ 120 Hz preferably more, and 160 Hz for all lower resolutions. (1600x1200 @ 85 Hz would be good too) Also they should have …

No need for such high hardware to play @ 640x480, not long ago I remember playing Duke Nukem 3D and Blood at 640 with an 486 120 Mhz 16 MB RAM, S3 Virge 2 MB and was totally playable, only 800x600 was a bit slow maybe around 15 FPS. Even in this 486 I played Starcraft with 8 CPU players and it …

I tried my 6800 GT on a P3 with VIA Apollo chipset and installed the drivers fine, when I tried to launch a game, the whole screen went black but I could hear the game sound, when I restarted the OS was in 640x480 4 bit color VGA mode, card was identified in device manager but when I tried to …

Funny I have exactly the same components as you, ASUS CUV4X, Voodoo 2000 AGP (how come you have an AGP 1.5v version? mine is 3.3v and incompatible with this mobo, have to run it on a P2 333 Mhz board. Using a ATI Radeon 7500 because I had problems with an FX 5200 with this mobo) and Pentium 3 550 OC …

1. I bought a good cooler to overclock my Pentium 4 2.4C HT to 3.3-3.6 Gz, but so far I can only use a divider of 5:4 and an FSB of 250 Mhz with PC 3200 DDR 400 RAM (250x4:5 = 200 Mhz the default RAM clock and 3 Ghz OC maximum with this divider) If I set a 3:2 divider with any FSB above 215/220 the …

I need help I cant remember some games I used to play a lot when I was a kid, they all ran on a 486 120 Mhz with 16 MB RAM I cant remember their names since I lost the CD with them. -One was a racing game where you could race with all kinds of crazy vehicles, hovecrafts, boats, lunar buggys in the …

The problem here is that modern TV´s destroy the image quality of any kind of input that does not match the native resolution, even component or SCART looks bad, it doesent matter if you set it to 4:3 with black bars or if you try using a smaller screen to see less pixelization, but it seems as some …

Yeah I was going to post a topic with the exact same problem on the dreamcast. I got angered with HDTV + Composite, the image was so blurry and bad quality I couldn´t play racing games because it is very hard to distiguinsh stuff in the track ahead of you and I keep crashing into walls and stuff I …

Actually I am building some systems with "a great investment for the time" in mind and overclockability, based on PC´s I had in the past, here are what I believe to be the best price and performance choices for the time: 1993: Am486 DX2-66 Mhz 8/16 Mb RAM for Windows 95 Tseng Labs ET4000 1MB ISA …

Can anyone tell me a link to download it or upload it for me? I cant find it anywhere, also can you tell me if it works under windows 2000/XP. Also has the YMF724 any kind of hardware sound acceleration support like DirectSound 3D? I am still deciding if I should put an SB PCI 128 on it to increase …

There is a lot of confusion in my head about these sound technologies advertised in games and hardware, I dont know much about them since I only owned cheap on board audio and Soundblaster Live, and always disabled EAX in games thinking with was something related to ambience sounds, because in HL …

A few hours ago I was toying with this old PC (Intel 8086 512 KB RAM CGA) running games and programs, and at some point I was asked to set the date and time and I set the current date, I forgot they dont support 2000´s as a year and after that the message: Real Time Clock failure shows up everytime …

Back in that time I had an 486 DX4 @ 120 Mhz with 16 MB RAM running Windows 95 and I played some really heavy games on it like starcraft,Tomb Raider 2, having to wait 5 minutes for an fallout 2 saved game to load, and playing quake 2 on it with very low fps reason for me buying an S3 virge hoping to …

I would like to know how it is possible to emulate a joystick input by using your mouse in order to play X wing and TIE Fighter collector edition for windows 95, I tried using PPjoy and Glove PIE but for some reason it cannot read mappings from the joystick driver no matter what setting I choose and …

Hi, I am having a problem getting an old 486 system to boot, It worked fine a few years ago, but now the CMOS battery is dead and it reports an CMOS checksum error in POST, the problem is that it is nearly impossible to replace the CMOS battery because it uses something called NVRAM that is a small …
