Standard Def Steve wrote on 2021-09-10, 23:16: May be a cringe fest, but man does that movie have a killer soundtrack! Prodigy, Leftfield and besides others the god of vinyl himself: Carl Cox! Is it a confession to tell that I do actually have a turntable which I regularly use?

In my first computer which I actually bought with my own money I chose to have an AMD K5PR-166 and at the time I thought it was fast. Because it was. Plus it was cool not being an intel. Plus now it's even cooler being first and last CPU developed entirely by AMD. I bought K5 PR133 and never looked …

Those are some really great advices here, big thanks to all of you! I knew that the Vibra Soundblasters arent the best but I thought that at least the CT2960 had an implemented OPL3. Guess I'll go for the big boy then, the AWE32 CT3900. To be honest good (Midi) sound is quite important for me and …

@tkrn Thx for the answers :) And thanks in BitWrangler's name - that was quick! You might be a machine yourself :D If forums are a thing to you, I can name a couple of German ones: www.voodooalert.de Main topic is 3Dfx but also any other aspects of retro computer hardware and related gaming/software …

Okay, first of all: this is just great! Perservation especially of such topics that went by faster than the new old next past iPhone and Samsung Galaxy is pretty important - at least to people like me and obviously there's a ton of people thinking similarly. My question is: are you focusing strictly …

@Gmlb256 Uh, of course, S3 card! You're totally right. I'm not even aware if there are any ATI cards as mentioned by me, using Virge chipsets. An S3 Trio64 might also be a wise choice. An ATI Rage would be my choice (and in my possesion) if I wanted to use the AGP slot. For the SB16, there are …

Ok AGP campatibility is an interesting subject. Don't worry, I have no intention of trying, I'm not a voodoo fetishist and I like to spend my 500$ on more useful things.... Like a couple of sound canvases! ;-) Yeah, Voodoo5s (as many other old hardware) is becoming more and more of a niche market …

Thank you all for the warm welcome :) Welcome. It's nice to see another vogons member who appreciates P4 systems ....;) Nice to see someone who like a P4 Northwood, these were the most decent ones around the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture. I used to have one of these with HyperThreading support …

Maybe some of you know this game but have you ever seen it in German text? ^^ Actually the developers (Blue Byte, the makers of Battle Isle, The Settlers games and many Anno titles under Ubisoft's label) originally came from Germany 😀

Greetings folks, my Name is Sven, I'm from Germany and was born in 1983. I'm pretty obsessed with old hardware, old games (PC and video games alike) and am more or less collecting these kinds of things for almost two decades now. I was never really actively into searching that particular piece of …
