From what I've heard running a Voodoo II on anything over a PIII 550 makes them run incredibly hot. It seems the faster the CPU, the more it heats up. I think you are confused. The CPU speed has no impact on a VooDoo II card's operating frequency. However, if one was to overclock the PCI bus out of …

I use a 20" Dell 2007fpb 1600x1200 LCD display for my retro stuff. I second oeuvre's recommendation of the Dell 2007fpb LCD. It has worked great with everything I've thrown at it. If you try it buy a Dell 2007fpb, be weary of the Dell 2007wfp (widescreen LCD that is very simular). Some sellers get …

The location is labeled 'C119'. Anyone have any clue what that is and if its easily self-repairable? My first guess is that its a resistor...but I really don't know too much about electronics to say for sure. It is a capacitor. It is probably there to even out the power supplied to the memory chip …
Re: DOOM sounds terrible on my new SC55 - why?

Sound Blaster 32 PnP . . . I could not find a jumper on the board to disable the built in MPU emulation on the Sound Blaster, and I could not find a way to do it in the software either. You cannot disable the MPU-401 port on PnP Sound Blasters. But you can tell them to use different resources. Move …

I'll try removing the Microsoft gameport driver like you suggest. No joy. I removed the gameport driver and installed the one off my original AWE64 Gold driver CD (copywrite 1996). I got a few prompts stating, "the file being replaced is newer than the file being copied. Do you want to keep the …

I vaguely remember having problems with joysticks on AWE64 under Windows 98. The issue was that Windows installs Microsoft's gameport drivers that don't work and stay installed even after you install AWE64 drivers from Creative disk. So you have to manually remove Microsoft's gameport driver and …

It really seems like you should be able to design the PCB to allow reuse of brackets from inexpensive Sound Blaster 16's or similar.

I can get blank I/O shields for ATX cases for cheap. All I would need to make AT style shields out of them would be a punch for the correct size hole. I would also probably have to make a holder to hold the I/O shield in the correct place when punching the hole with a hydraulic knockout punch. If …
