Re: which specs would you recommend for a gaming rig that can cover the whole DOS area

Posted on 2023-07-05, 15:17

Maybe a 486 build with a ZIF CPU socket? Then you could get a few common chips (like DX-33 and a DX2-66), maybe find a DX4 overdrive later on. Any 486 board will fit this profile, it's a very common configuration. A lot of 386-specific games will work using turbo. This way, your main P3 build will …

And performance-wise the 166 MMX is comparable to the 200 NonMMX due to its larger cache. So the speed difference is smaller than it seems at first glance. (Btw. that is one subject in an interesting video from Necroware ) That's good to know But in general I am not craving for the most processing …

Thanks a lot for the replies. It is good to know that I would have many options I will check every option out. so far the option that Athlon XP "Thoroughbred" CPU + motherboard with a VIA KT266A/KT333/KT400/KT600 chipset (i.e. Asus A7V600-X) + GeForce 2 MX/MX400 + Yamaha YMF724/744 sound card.

Re: socket 370 i815 pentium 3 1 ghz coppermine or Athlon Xp 1600 for windows 98 gaming system

When I was researching about the 9000 series I seems that only the 9800pro has the overheating issues. I could not find any article that was saying the same stuff about earlier cards. This does not mean anything of course because my search was rather superfical. You need to look deeper into the …

I started to play Jagged Alliance 2 for the first time since I bought the game back in february of 2000. I played my original copy on my asus p2b system with p3 800 mhz and the gog version on my modern ryzen 3 rig. It was almost I played 2 different games. On my retro rig the bullets were flying in …

@predator If you high quality gaming without any compromises is your main goal then the answer to your question is really simple. Purchase the Athlon system and go with the GF 4200. You could also take close look at the ati readeon 8500 or 9000 series. They should be rather powerful as well and are …

I'd say it depends on what you want. If your are into rather peroid correct 90s gaming rig than a pentium 3 is the right choice but if you want to get the most out of your options the more powerful athlon is the the way to go. I have hp system with a p3 800 mhz and I like it. The cpu will be …

Re: what are your opinions on the voodoo banshee?

Posted on 2023-06-23, 06:34

That's very interesting thx for the further information. I was too slow btw. The Banshee is gone already. But I will keep my eyes open and if see another at a good price I will pull the trigger. I think the Banshee is good starting point for glide gaming. If I am really lucky and see a Voodoo 3 at a …

Re: what are your opinions on the voodoo banshee?

Posted on 2023-06-22, 06:52

As there's no multitexture on the Banshee, there's overbrights on some games that don't have them on Voodoo2/3, like Unreal and Half-Life. :) The banshee was just shy before the STB merger so it wasn't part of the rebrand party and general nostalgiagoggles about that. No 3dfx-branded Voodoo eyes …
