I heated them up using my heat gun then credit card + platic wedge and they went off pretty easily. They are attached with those plastic pins. Originally they have 55mm holes, but I enlarged them to 57 and not they fit perfectly. Card is much much cooler and also completely silent because of those …

Use this tutorial to open device manager: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000833.htm#windows-98 Then look if your voodoo is listed under sound, video and game controllers:

I feel your pain, sometimes I want to just order a recycling pickup and throw it all away, but then again, this is part of this hobby - getting it all work in the end, just to do it all again later. I spend more time tinkering and getting shit to work than play games with my retro stuff. Looks like …

If you have any other boards, might give those a try as well, as I said...a very picky gpu.

I also had issues with NF2 socket a board, but have no via to test. They are picky GPUs. You can try letting it run for a few minutes in the dark then reset the pc, that might wake it up.

I had mixed success with this card. On my Nforce 3 i have lots of cold boots, no image, but they do work (usually) on my 4coredual-sata2. I also had one that died during driver install.

More issues. It seems I have a bigger problem. When I have a3d enabled, I get a lot of hissing in half life, or "room" demo. When I disable it, everything works fine

I finally found the right driver, everything from sis doesn't work, but these VIA NEC drivers did the trick. I have attached them to this post in case anyone else needs them.

I fixed the issue, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I reserved IRQ5 in bios and now I have everything up and running!

I already have disabled both comports + lpt + floppy. Having only one pci is a problem, if it won't work, I'll just use it without dos support.
Diamond mx300 (vortex 2) driver install issue
Posted on 2023-01-26, 09:14
Hi, I'm having issues with installing drivers for my new vortex 2 card. It works fine in win xp with the default drivers. In win98 I tried 2041/2048 and 2050 and it always freezes when it tries to install drivers for Sound Blaster pro Emulation. Could this be an IRQ issue? I'll try it today in …

No, you're good. I did that to all of my V3s and they all work fine.

Thanks, both are hard to get I see. I'll stick to OEM for now I guess.

Boards with an Apollo Pro266(T) are realy rare. At that time Intel wanted to push the P4 and Sockel 423/478. So they gave the sockel 370 and the Apollo chipset with a Pentium III-S no attention. For my ASUS CUV266-DLS i can say, the AGP performance is normal. image108.jpg 3DMark2001SE_14239.JPG …

I only really tested mine with a Voodoo 5500, but it gave me a similar performance to a KT266 board with athlon XP.

Yeah it's a bit newer, but doesn't matter really. As far as PCI goes, it's a nice fast card.

I got lucky a while back and got two boards. One with dual 1400s and one with 1266. I have only tested quake 3 with it and smp does make a difference there - in winxp. A huge bonus for me is the usage of DDR memory, which is much easier to get to a few GB than with SDR. That x1300 is of course a …
