Oh, and this is with the assumption that both cards are already in the OP's possession. If this is not the case, then definitively avoid the Voodoo 3. The current prices of 3DFX cards are too insane to waste money on that. Gf3s are a struggle to find and pay a reasonable price for too now. The "I …

I guess if radio is a must have, the choice is clear. It's not that radio is a must have. If you could build a windows 98 computer, which niche thing would you rather have? I can confirm using the radio while playing UT99 hurts the performance but it is neat. Stereoscopic 3d is also cool but you're …

I personally think the G3 is overall a waaaaay better card, the V3 is a nice card for period builds and glide but for overall gaming not so much, with the G3 you can enjoy filters at least in older games where the card will not struggle, environmental bump mapping, IIRC Geforce3 didn't have EMBM. …

That one time I tried video out on a Voodoo 3, it was better than Rage cards, but still kinda "muddy", the GF3 I had did very well with video out, as good as you'd expect to be possible. Voodoo I think has the advantage that it's video out is full time, you can see post screen etc, and use it in …

The 3500's the fastest non-VSA voodoo card so there's that. The analog tuning features part are mainly obsolete however. There's also the matter of what AGP board you'll be putting it in, as "Win98 PC" spans quite a few generations to some of the post-3dfx ones. Also be aware there's many PCI TV …

You need at least 100Hz to display it properly. And probably around 200Hz to avoid eye strain in long gamins sessions, which is hardly achievable even with high-end CRT monitor. Ill be using a Dell P1130. It has been awhile since I used the card but I'm pretty sure it can do 200Hz at 800x600 with …

Howdy. I am building a new windows 98 pc and I am hoping to get some extra input on these two cards. I know the voodoo 3 is overall a better choice but I find the stereoscopic 3-D of the geforce an interesting novelty. But the Voodoo also has the ability to have radio which is also kinda cool. Both …

It should presumably match this: BIOS info: 01/09/2000-i440BX-W977-62400000C-EC Sure enough, it does say "i440BX-W977-62400000C-EC" on post. Since it does say that do you believe flashing it with a bios for a "ATC6240M V3: PCB rev R06" would work rather than brick it? Thank you for pointing me in …

Howdy, I acquired an ATC6240V-01 motherboard sometime ago and have been using it for a retro build of mine. It has a 440bx chipset but when I look for information about this board most of the things I find about it is that it should be a VIA chipset. I am looking to upgrade the bios so that a SL4KL …

Suppose that's progress of sorts - at least you're on a newer BIOS. I do see a few posts online complaining of random issues following upgrades to P21, but nothing like yours. Assuming its there, what's Intel board revision number (like 'AA Cxxxxx-xxx') and what are the full specs of the build …

Did you try any of the interim releases between P15 & P21 (P17 & P19 are still available)? According to the engineering notes for P21, there were quite a number of changes in that version whereas there were hardly any between P15 & P20. I installed P19 this morning and the frame rate were still in …

Definitely check settings in BIOS. Sometimes you need to actually clear CMOS after a BIOS update for stuff to work properly again. As for the RAM, I would highly recommend getting 2x 256MB DIMMs so you can run dual channel since single channel is going to really gimp the RAM throughput. You could …

Intel no longer host these old files but fortunately there are plenty of mirror sites which do. You can download the BIOS files here P17 - https://dl4.rebyte.me/files/ZODA2zaAJ0LPs3gDE0IxmA==,1618197797/5/4/2/2/8/7/RL86510A.86A.0078.P17.EB.EXE P19 - https://dl4.rebyte.me/files/v1t4E5lnUDssUv- …
