Ah thanks. I do have a couple of component switches and I had considered them in the past. May have to revisit that project.

Also the center channel. It could be done with multiple units but it’s messy. I’ve been on the lookout for a while, but there doesn’t seem to be 5.1 audio switches on the market.

Company of Heroes - Opposing fronts - bad audio
Posted on 2023-12-10, 05:44
I just played through Company of Heroes on this PC (E8600 X1950XTX Xfi 2G), excellent game, great audio. Xfi over optical into Onkyo receiver, 5.1 audio out. No problems with this game, or any other games. I installed the add-on, Opposing Fronts and the audio is terrible. Really low, and nearly all …

Commodore 64

Apologies if this isn't allowed. I have two totes full of Commodore 64 gear. Looks like 3x C64, four or five 1541s, 2x1530s a load of disks, manuals and a monitor. Some boxed games too. I picked this collection up last year and I'm just not getting time to look into it. I haven't powered any of it …

I have three lga775 builds, it’s a fast fun platform. See if you can get an x48 chipset, failing that x38 is good too

Ah yes, probably counts as a programmable keyboard. I was trying to avoid 3xK&M on my desk, but will have to re-add the older wired K&M back to control the Win 98 box that's in this group.

Thanks for the responses, a couple of clarifications: The K&M are connected directly to the Win98 PC Another older K&M works fine connected the exact same way, same 2 USB ports. The K&M work without issue on three other Win XP PCs (I know, different OS) I've tried reconnecting once windows is …
Modern Keyboards on Win 98

I have a modern Logitech USB keyboard and mouse (K&M) which I switch between some of my PCs. I have one row of four PCs that contain three XP PCs and one Win 98. M is Logitech G502, K is Logitech G810 The K&M work fine on the three XP PCs. I'm having some odd behavior on the Win 98 PC. On the Win 98 …

Thanks for the additional info on the versions. Some other observations on this game at 1024x768 with all settings at max: 1. this game has low fps on the X850XT (10.2 drivers) quite early in the game when unit count is still low 2. the game ran much better on the X1950XTX (10.2 drivers) system, …

Nice build, I have the same motherboard and CPU combo in one of my PCs. Do you find you’re CPU limited with the GPU you’re using?

Evening, I picked up Homeworld 2 this week, having never played it, but enjoyed HW1 and Cataclysm. I've tried Homeworld 2 (patched to version 1.1) on two systems (the Radeon 9700 and the Radeon X850 in my sig) and neither seem to render the game correctly. Firstly, there is just black space behind …

Re: Should I get a cooling fan for a Voodoo 3 2k?
Posted on 2023-05-17, 16:16
1 Fans are inexpensive 2 Voodoo cards are becoming less common 3 thermal cycling and high temps damage electronics over time I added a fan to my v3 3000. I also know a guy who tells me seatbelts are useless as he’s still alive and has never used one. 😉

Posted on 2023-05-17, 03:28
Yes, a fan is recommended even for a V3 2000. Try touching it after a good gaming session and you'll understand. Just because it is hot to touch does not mean it is dangerous. Possibly not. But to put it another way, can you think of a scenario where keeping a gpu near its thermal limit prolongs …
Re: windows 10 on core2 quad 9300
Posted on 2023-05-13, 06:17
You’d be losing a bit of L2 cache per core going to the q9300. It might depend on the workload but my experience with the lga775 processors is L2 cache is king. You might be faster going to an E8600 or one of the quads with 6mb like the q9450 or q9550..
