I would look for a voodoo 2 instead of voodoo 1 unless it's a good deal. But it is of course your choice.

It's a normal VGA cable . But short to reduce noise. You don't need to use the passthrough function though you can connect it directly to the monitor or a KVM switch.

Ok, I've never tested it myself, cool I thought you more or less were stuck with command prompt but there seem to be some 'emulation' going on with some sound cards. Only a few of them can do this however, and they are more or less needed for this kind of setup I guess. I think you are right about …

I dunno but I find a p4 without Isa or SB link to be borderline retro. I've never actually seen a 423 but that one seems interesting if it can be slowed down.

No I rarely pay that much, and I am kind of running out of room so I have started to get a little picky. Ebay and such has been crazy lately, very few click to buy deals at reasonable prices, which is usually my thing.

Doubt it. Maybe you have a modern atx case where all holes are present, then you could make a real world test without buying a new case.

Pentium MMX is plenty speed adjustable, and even if it wasn't throttle and mo slo are always an option. I don't know why people talk about this so much - IMO unless you are trying to use a p4 or something with DOS is usually isn't that big of an issue. Ok, are they multiplier unlocked? When I …

It is a good price but you should ask you self what purpose it has. Do you mean to run speed sensitive games? Not sure this one can. I'd go with a SS7 or rather a 486 to complement your p3, but I thats my opinion. Pentium MMX is plenty speed adjustable, and even if it wasn't throttle and mo slo are …

This game is probably better on other systems, like the Amiga.

Sorry for commenting on this older statement, but I just had to..... Why is that person an asshole? I mean, like what? Hope you were joking. Then what about all other hardware recreations or newly made systems? Like the GUS here on Vogons or other soundcards. Like these newly recreated Amiga and …

I enjoy the 8bit guy and Adrian's digital basement at YouTube, I learned a lot from them. 😀 I am mostly a learning by doing otherwise, so why not get some more computers? 😁
Re: Is this Pentium 3 PC worth buying?
Posted on 2022-01-15, 12:39
The aureal vortex 2 is pretty sought after these days. I think the price is good. Buy it if you like the case, you can easily find a new slot 1 mother board with Isa slots if this is lacking.

I had one showing up as working in device manager but it didn't work. But I didn't have this error message. After inspection is was two missing capacitors I my case. What I mean is that they don't always show up as faulty.

What's the rest of your setup ? Do you have a network card ? iirc, realtek network cards (among others) are notorious for preventing the os from shutting down properly due to bad drivers This is most likely. If you use an HDMI convert or such, possibly the display mode is not supported by the …
