Any recommendations on going from VGA > DVI? Currently using Datapath 1ES and VCS, which is giving great results. Just wondering if there is a way to get even more clean captures by using a specific cable/adapter? Thanks in advance. This thread is gold.

Hi guys, I recently acquired a Geforce2 Ultra which initially seemed to be damaged. When connected via the VGA port the color channels were messed up; constant blue hue even in POST. Also, when testing Quake III at 1600x1200 the game would crash immediately when applying this resolution in settings. …

Dunno nothin' about the board, but it's easy to overcome the USB limit by using a USB 2.0 PCI card. True, good point. I'll probably be picking this up. Although I'll wait a bit since I just scored two complete rigs. I don't know the complete specs, but from what I could see made it look like a must …

If it is a pure Win98 setup, using nothing but Win98 software, then ISA soundcards does not matter at all. Then I would say that a Socket-A system with something like an AthlonXP 2400+ to 2800+ is a good choice. Slot 1 systems with ISA slot, are for those systems, were late Dos games and early …

Only a very few AGP pro GFX cards were ever produced. Mainly for Mac and so on. They are however out there, and as far as I remember, they were for industrial use. You know.. 3D rendering and so on. Why Asus used the slot on motherboards I do not know. Running both Voodoo3 and GF4-ti4200 on my …

The -C version of both boards chopped off AGP-Pro support. CUSL2 does not officially support Tualatin, but you can make them work with an adapter or pin mod, or just stick with coppermine. I see. Well, I guess Tualatin is not a must for me - so all good. However, I was just searching for cards …

Yeah, for sure, although the limitation is in the BIOS, so if there's a firmware revision which is more compatible I'd be very interested to hear about it. I'll see if I can find it, but I don't want to give false hopes - it's probably just me remembering wrong. I can see my SE440BX-2 is rev. …

I like the idea of having AGP-Pro support! Workstation graphic cards are dirty cheap now and I would love to see how they compete in games. To eliminate the possible bottleneck from CPU it's better to go high end on CPU and motherboards, but not too high to lose AGP 2x support, and I agree that …

Unfortunately, the SE4440BX-2 has a fairly locked down BIOS. It doesn't support non Intel CPUs nor P3s with an FSB > 100 mhz. Furthermore, BIOS modding is problematic due to the non-socketed EEPROM which precludes hot swapping in the event of a flash failure. Thank you for the details. I remember …

A Slot 1 system should well, with a fast CPU, around 800 MHz or so. This should work with old and new cards. Not 100% sure what your cutoff is, GF2 or GF3 maybe? Anything newer and I would go with 2 systems. Slot 1 for DOS, Windows 9x, and Socket A / 754 / 939 or 478 / 775 for XP. I would love to …

I would say universal AGP or AGP-Pro slots (essential Universal + more) Go for an Intel D815-EEA2 or an Asus A7V266-E board. They both seem to be fairly cheap, and they are solid boards. At least solid and stable in my book, as I have used them in a couple of build's from time to time. Hejsa! ;) Hm …

Intel chipsets are known for their compatibility. Maybe something like an i815E? Why not universal AGP? I've been looking at a few i815E MB and they certainly seem to fit with my needs. I had forgotten about universal AGP, so thanks for that! I guess the easiest way to identify is looking if there …

Hi guys, I thought it would be a good idea to have a test system that I can easily plug in and test newly acquired hardware - primarily graphic cards from mid-90's to early 2000's. Now, I am still refreshing all the smaller details from back then - so I would appreciate a bit of advice on this. My …

@Tetrium Thanks for the heads up. I won't be doing much tweaking/overclocking and initially I will make it run on a 650 Mhz PIII. Maybe later I will try to get a Slot 1 > Socket 370 adapter and a Coppermine or Tualatin at 1 Ghz. As @Kamerat mentions, it shouldn't be much of a hassle as long as the …

Hi guys - thanks for the replies. I did a bit of searching here on the forum and as @elod mentions - it certainly seems that nforce is best fit for XP (and also can cause some issues if running it with a Voodoo card). So I decided not to go for the Asrock! Nice spelling error! Haha @ODwilly Instead …

Hi everyone, I'm new around here - hoping to get a bit of help. Currently planning to build a Windows 98SE (and preferably DOS too) machine . Right now, I am hesitating to buy an Asrock K7NF2-RAID motherboard and hope somebody can give it a thumbs up or down. Full specs here: http://www.asrock.com/ …
