I don't know what's the point of building an XP rig this much overkill, unless dual booting Vista or W7 X64. Half of it's power will be un-utilized and even late-XP era period correct hardware can run any games with triple digit frame rate, maybe except Crysis and World in Conflict unless you go …

I would get a MX440 over a GF1 or GF2 (of any variant), unless you are collecting high end GPUs. Just stay away from the SE model as most (but not all) have a 64bit bus width. These cards are found easily and are very cheap. At the time it would outperform a GF2 ultra in games that didn't utilise …

If you go the nVidia rout, its possible to get up too a GTX Titan (Maxwell) working with Windows Xp. Best part is that the GTX Titan still has a DVI-A port, so you can use a DVI-A to VGA adapter to run a CRT directly without converting the signal Intel also have drivers for the Z87 platform. I've …

I'm not sure if Dino Crisis uses them for the transparent fence textures in the opening scene, but I've noted that ATI card and nVidia cards after the FX series don't render it correctly. The rebirth patch fixes this on modern systems. I'd take some screenshots but all my retro PCs are in storage at …

The GeForce 4 MX440 (stay away from SE - 64 bit memory bus) is a great choice for DX7 games and earlier (excluding glide). It can often be found for very cheap. At the time it provided better than GeForce 2 Ultra performance (in most titles, noting the GF2 Ultra had 2x the amount of TMUs so would …

Hi hard1k I've been following this project for a while and would love to order a pre-assembled card once they are available for preorder. Unfortunately my account is too new to send you a PM to arrange this, so feel free to contact me once you announce presales. I'll also keep an eye on the thread. …

Put me down for a kit if you ever do a batch again

Confirmed working with a CT4670 (Value) and SB0100, both with Windows 98 SE
