Re: SIV support for 386/486/586 class + Alpha CPUs and 3dfx + S3 + SiS + Matrox + XGI + old ATI + NVidia GPUs - Testing

Thank you for your reply, I also found CPUZ had no impact, which HWiNFO32 did you use? I used 8.25-5720, maybe the Extended Kernel has an effect on it. It was 8.24-5700 Now I remember you! I recall issues caused by the Extended Kernel half supporting GetFirmwareEnvironmentVariable() , do I recall …

Re: SIV support for 386/486/586 class + Alpha CPUs and 3dfx + S3 + SiS + Matrox + XGI + old ATI + NVidia GPUs - Testing

Update: I remembered I had Windows 2000 Advanced Server on my Supermicro X7SBL Intel Xeon X3320 QC (Yorkfield) so I booted it and the HPET was stopped, but when I ran HWiNFO32 it started it and it remained running even after I had exited HWiNFO! Out of interest how many CPUs show up? I installed AS …

Re: What game are you playing now?

in Milliways
I've been playing Hard West, and finished two of the scenarios so far. I think the turn-based battle system is great, the wild west theme is well done, but I'm not too sure about everything else. The game doesn't seem to be as strong on story or RPG elements as the usual SRPG, which would be …

Re: Rant "Requires Windows"

in Milliways
Yes, pretending that "Windows" is one single thing, or even being unaware that it is not a single thing, is quite lame. It's also pretty lame when games are listed (eg. on wikipedia) as having been released for "PC" or "Windows" when said games were only released on the Steam DRM platform. Just do a …

Re: Did any 486 systems try to implement write protection of shadow RAM areas in L1 cache?

In protected mode, the memory range can be marked as read-only in the page table. Not sure if DPMI hosts actually do this. Under Windows it's a non-issue because user processes won't have the adapter area mapped into their virtual memory. In real mode, maybe some buggy code could crash itself by …

Re: chips 82c435/436 based vga card?

http://bitsavers.org/components/chipsAndTech/ … _436_198808.pdf 435/436 chipset can't do the standard 256-color mode because it doesn't have the chain-4 bit in sequencer register 4 (among others). It's probably just another EGA card with VGA monitor support.

Re: How to install BWC Windows 2k GPU drivers?

For whatever reason, nvidia didn't include the device IDs for anything above the GTX 960. To use a 980, you need to add a couple of lines to the .INF file (usually called nv4_dispi.inf) (under NVIDIA_Devices) %NVIDIA_DEV.13C0% = Section008, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13C0 (under Strings) NVIDIA_DEV.13C0 = " …

Re: database of video card capabilities?

GeForce and Radeon cards are pretty well covered. Not sure about others. There used to be some charts on a site called neeyik.info but it seems to be gone now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_gra … rocessing_units https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_ … rocessing_units
