"The batch files can naturally be crafted to perform any necessary setup before running your program/game, and clean up after it finishes. I have successfully used this approach to slow down the CPU for certain games, or mount a virtual CD-ROM drive when it's required." Could you give some examples …

Sounds like a nice board. Do you know how much cache it has? That is important on figuring out how much RAM to install. Most 486 boards can cache at most /4 in MB of RAM So with 64K cache install 16MB RAM With 128K cache install 32 MB of RAM with 256K cache install 64MB of RAM It says 265k cache at …

It's pointless installing a 3D accelerator (the Voodoo 2) in a 486 DX-2 66. It won't be able to make any real use of it. It's really only the Mystique card you need. But that should be just fine for your system. The great thing about Matrox cards, is that you can find drivers not only for Windows …

You connect the external MIDI device to your soundcard with a gamepad to MIDI adapter cable. Save the money. Don't spend 150 dollars+ on a MIDI card you don't need. SoftMPU is completely free for the few games that are worth playing and that requires intelligent MPU. If you're afraid of system …

I am surprised it has not been mentioned...add a CD ROM or DVD Drive...that will get rid of that yellowing 5.25" drive bay cover as well. Yes, I will get a CD ROM drive, one that can write as well. Also I would remove that old barrel type battery residing on your motherboard. Search on Vogons for …
