voodoo1 and et6000. No idea if it will run but i have faster pc's so if thats not going to work...I need blood! It will work on P1-100 ok and if you want to experiment a little check out the 1.20 patch allowing 3DFX Voodoo support lets say its not exactly stable but the acceleration would sure help …

A few people mentioned the Doom 3 but how do you people feel about Quake 4? Similar style, bigger areas, the Strogg transformation bit was quite a twist.

HOMM3 for losing the predecessor's gameplay dynamics. And speaking of visuals I'd prefer the sequel.

Police Quest which bugged me for the same reason While I personally liked the P.Q. for introducing somewhat trivial actions into the genre I'd agree this is a very good point you are making. Many combat games trying to lead the player to believe they are getting better at something over the course …

Planescape Torment. I've missed it when it was a hit but on the other hand I had Arcanum and I love it.

Hi I'm necro posting to this thread in order to confirm the fact that Windows 98 does indeed run on a sister board Intel D201GLY (no SATA version). There aren't many Windows 98 mini-ITX motherboards around so I consider this information useful. When you install Windows 98 in APM mode (notice the …

Hi everyone I shall necro post to this thread instead of creating a new one because the info is on point. I did a dual boot 98/XP build based on a s775 Gigabyte GA-8I915MD-G and for the record it works very well in both OS running a Prescott-2M Pentium 4 HT. The components are fitting the purpose …

I wonder why exactly did the last successful boot identify the CPU as DX2-100. To my knowledge it doesn't exist at all. Are you not running your bus at 50Mhz? Do you by any chance have any 5V CPUs to try such as DX-33? The 5V setup may give that case some extra leads

just a string of single long beeps that continue until the mobo is powered down. I've seen some motherboards from the respective era which reacted that way to single-sided EDO RAM modules installed. Installing a FPM module did help. Do you get the same beep pattern without any RAM installed at all? …

I'd start with booting clean DOS without any autoexec stuff and running NSSI to see if the card is detected in order to eliminate improper IRQ allocation by motherboard and narrow it down to driver problem.

these -500 cases are as rare I remember this and similar models were all over the place around year 2000, offices, schools etc. So there are probably a lot on sale for cheap although not many people outside the community specify the model in the listing. I'd also check if later ATX revisions from …
