SUCCESS Nobody answer but I will write here what I learned. Maybe someday it will be useful for somebody. So: 1. Connectors ST3 and ST4 must be connected to X10. Without this connection computer will not post. I still don't know what is X4 NMI and X11. 2. Computer will not run with memory in bank 3 …

Hello GeorgeMan, Year later, I am running into the same issue as you did with the Gravis Gamepad Pro on Windows 98SE. Did you ever find a solution to get the gamepad working properly? Hi, unfortunately no. I ended up not using this gamepad at all anymore, but I still have it. In case you find …

I spent about 2 weeks reading this whole tread when the time permitted. It did not seem as if there was a clear answer on setting a 4x multiplier on P233 MMX chips. It was noted that the BF0 and BF1 pins should be shorted to set 4x. Another comment was to short BF0 and NC for 4x. RG100 tried both …

I have one of these https://www.pcstats.com/articles/1241/index.html and honestly it's great for dx6-7 9x gaming. It beats all of my FX5200 64bit and 128bit in early gaming performance (eg 3dmark 2000-2001SE scores). It even comes close to overclocked 128bit FX5600XT. So it seems Prolink/Pixelview …

Thank you for your answers. I don't have any other sound cards installed in that machine and I don't want to install any other. Maybe I should try one for test, but I think it'll be alright, as is in the other machine. I also don't have another gameport gamepad, so I can't really test the …

Nice, that's the first Ivy Bridge motherboard I've seen that straight up offers XP drivers right from the manufacturers site, I knew there had to be some out there! I gave up finding one myself when I built my first "retro" WinXP PC and just went with Sandy Bridge. Nah, I have two and they both do. …

Hi, I've read the whole topic. It seems that 4coredual-vsta has compatibility issues with any pcie 3.0 GPU. The fastest compatible seems to be GTX580 and the newest some pcie2.0 variant of GT730. BUT! How about Quadro K42oo 4GB GDDR5 256bit? I have a couple of them, they seem to be pcie 2.0, even …

Replace the fan with PWM fan for the CPU heatsink. Your motherboard has PWM support. This will make fan much quieter if you don't mind spending is noctura. Cheers, Hi, This build is long ago sold, but I have to say I miss it. :/ Staying with latest officially supported hardware made 98SE experience …

Hi everyone, I have a tualeron 1200 and I've found the following motherboard to buy: http://www.yjfy.com/D/DFI/mainboard/CS65-EC.htm It's a DFI CS65-EC. I can't find any info whether it supports Tualatin PIII class CPUs or not. No info on 815E stepping. Does anyone know any better than me? 😀

Yep, I've also problems with my ASUS P2B and a Geforce 2 GTS. They all disappear when I install a Voodoo3 or a simple S3 agp card... But I want the GTS there...

I have this specific motherboard with E6500k and an HD3850/512. Some very late games are actually cpu limited!! When you overclock it, you lose speedstep, which kinda hits my OCD :p

Exactly that. So the problems were under Vista, not the DX10 cards to blame. 😉

Graphics card My choice: 7800 or 7900 GTX. This was a tough one. I wanted a DirectX9 card because DX10 cards "emulated" DX9 causing some performance issues for DX9 games not to mention graphical glitches in some games. Can you give any specific example on this? Because I'm well aware that there are …

If you think about it, something with a Core i3 (sandy/ivy) / 4-8GB RAM / Nvidia GTX770-950 / SB Audigy2ZS with XP 32bit and 7 64bit, and you can run EVERYTHING PC-wise from 2000-2015+, emulate many many many systems like Nintendo NES/SNES/N64/Wii/DS/GB/GBC/GBA, SEGA Dreamcast/Master System, Sony …
