Amongst the old renderers, s3 metal has the best graphics on unreal. Nice 32bit and Sharp textures. Awesome! I would play unreal at least on a 2mx. Radeon 7500 does fine on MS-DOS. Also VESA Modi’s are working fine. Playing mostly FPS with it. Like Shadow Warrior or Redneck Rampage and many others. …

you can bootstrap with memdisk via grub4dos so you can start any Floppy Image you want and even Option ROMs via https://github.com/rvalles/optromloader You also can load HDD Images to Ramdisk, and boot from then. The Limitation is you would need enough ram to fit your image inside.

That's great, thank you!!! Mine is a S520 but I may try to crossflash. Edit: I think those cards are cursed. I used the gigabyte ga-6bxc rev 2.0 with a pentium II 400, the results where inconsistent, they were the same with stock and overclocked frequencies. So I decided to use another bx400 the …

Well my diamond savage extreme S540 runs 166Mhz GPU and RAM. It runs very hot and one should have good ventilation. I would not run it without a Fan, heat sink is factory installed. Shipping without a fan was bit enthusiastic as the Card definitive needs one or it runs unstable. The Card with DVI …

i would go for GeForce 2MX 400 or 2 GTS. Maybe Asus V7700. It would give a good Performance Ratio at low Cost. And you would be able to crank up Resolution for 5:4/4:3 TFT.

Do you have a P2 Mainboard or P3 with such IC ? you can flash by Hotswap with Uniflash Programm. Bootup your P2/p3 Mainboard, remove BIOS Chip very carefully (better lose it a bit before booting) you should avoid making short circuits ;-), put in your Shuttle Chip and Flash with Uniflash the desired …

Well, it should be as good as a 486DX2 66Mhz.. so its not that bad for 1994. i had Sparcstation 1+ and it was much slower with 25Mhz. But Screen Resolution was great... Also putting Solaris 8 on it would be heavy for this small Machines. As far as i remember they came with SunOS BSD instead of …
