Re: Yamaha YMF7x4 Guide

Just noticed something interesting with DSDMA that could improve compatibility on machines that can't use PC/PCI and DDMA. Normally it automatically loads high as a tsr and calls itself ETEKVM. This takes up about 2.1KB. If you force it to load low in conventional memory it calls itself DSDMA and …

Re: GeForce 4 vs. GeForce FX?

[...] but as the future owner hp system with p3 800mhz cpu the statement that p3 800mhz is too slow for windows 98 is a bit discouraging. I though that for game from 1997 to 1999 800mhz would more than enough to play the games in good quality at least in medium settings.. I think you misinterpreted …

Re: GeForce 4 vs. GeForce FX?

Way to insult posters who have been helping you with your myriad of questions. Just because some people prefer to play with non-period correct hardware doesn't make them "elitist" or "crazy". For reference, there were always a couple of demanding games which needed more power than what was …

Redundancy FTW! 👌 Are these only CPUs, or does each x-number include an accompanying motherboard as well ? (roughly resembles my own 'small' 😆 redundancy mobo collection, only I have a few more LGA1155/AM3 level boards) They are complete platforms (motherboard + CPU + RAM)... and 27 of them are …

Get a used 2080 ti for $300. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRQUTeocCSI I don't know... as my daddy used to say: "I'm too poor to buy cheap stuff". Or, in this case, I'm too poor to buy used cards with no warranty. Also me: bought hundreds of retro PC parts for much, much, much more than that. : …

Re: Return/refund etiquette on eBay

in Milliways
Not much to say, really, it's pretty straightforward... Per the eBay rules (Computers/Tablets & Networking, Electronics): "Used: The item was previously used. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but it is fully operational and functions as intended . This item may be a floor model or …

Re: Voodoo 2 build

IMO, a Pentium 3 Coppermine / 440BX platform would be ideal for the V2 SLI. Depending on which revision you have, the Asus P2B-DS might support Coppermines out of the box (or you could mod it to add support). Either way, I think using the two Voodoo 2 cards with two CPUs would be ultra-cool (useless …
