while I can't find any Antec or Super-Flower cases that look like this, after hours of digging I found a few Raidmax cases that closely resemble this one. No exact match, but probably safe to assume this is some Raidmax model too, or a clone of one... Damn, that makes me not really want to have it, …

https://i.imgur.com/ewrwU7Y.png I'm looking at this listing for this case and an Abit AA8-Duramax mobo with some sort of P4 inside. I'd like to get the mobo for my collection, but idk about the case. Mobo is from 2004, and case has a "QC Pass 2004" marking inside, so probably case is 2004 as well. …

Non-FFB is certainly playable, but not much of a reason to run the game on a retro PC then, you can do that on a modern PC with a modern wheel and DOSBox. Seems like FFB in NFS 1 and 2 won't work on anything other than a microsoft sidewinder ffb wheel. I've been looking out for one of these... One …

If you can find the HP driver disc, and it contains win9x drivers, you might be able to, but you can't use the retail creative disc, it wont detect it. There was a thread around here somewhere with instructions of how to extract the driver files and edit them so they will detect oem cards, but when …

Do make sure it's an actual retail card, not Dell/HP OEM, which are kinda useless for win9x and only good for win2k and up. They all say SB0350 on the front, but if you check the serial number on the sticker on the back, you might see sb0358 or sb0359 or something contained within the number, tell- …

Well, if I wanted DOS 7.1 I could just install win98se and use that in DOS mode, but I would want to have DOS 6.22 on this... well, ideally, I'll see if I can dualboot DOS 6.22 on the 2gb partition with win9x on a secondary partition using the remainder of the HDD space, then I can do DOS 6 vs DOS 7 …

Hello fellow vogoners, To preface things, my family not being able to afford computers during my childhood, my first PC came when I was in high school and was already running windows XP at that point, so I ended up missing probably the most interesting era in PC gaming.

Forceware 77.72 was the first release to support G70 whether 7800GTX or 7800GT or 7800GS. It doesn't matter if you install your card as 7800GTX, FX 5800 or 4200 Ti. The driver gets the right settings for G70 automatically. Forceware 82.69 works with G71, but many people have reported bugs and other …

You probably need to upgrade cpu before gpu, 9600 pro should already be at the point of cpu bottleneck with that P3. Also a good quality 300w psu should be able to run any AGP card just fine, not like they made any 200+ watt monsters like GTX 480 for the AGP slot... If you will be dualbooting win9x …

For headphone users, the CMSS-3D in X-Fi is improved quite a lot over the one in the 2 ZS. And it's not just boring virtual surround tech, in supported ds3d/oal games CMSS-3D can do 3d binaural hrtf. With that said, Doom 3 probably sounds best with the dhewm3 source port which uses openal soft and …

I really miss the old skype from before microsoft took over, it was such a great app for both chatting/calling and also for sending files to your friends, and it was all done triple-encrypted p2p, none of that cloud shite. I have yet to find a good replacement, one probably doesnt currently exist.
