Asus made a 512MB version of that card, it's rather hard to find. Might be one for you ;) Amen, brother. :) While we're at it, I just wonder: wouldn't it be quite weird if I have a 512MB video card with only 256MB of system RAM? It seems I'm going to use only 256MB of system RAM for the Win98 …

Um... you would probably argue that an XFX GeForce 6800 GT AGP doesn't count as "retro" hardware, but since it is the last GeForce that supports Windows 98, I believe it does. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y71/kreshna_iceheart/ebay/xfxgeforce6800gtagp-buy01-pic01.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/ …

The 6800 should work fine in the 845. What you can't run is a 1/2x card as they expect the old 3.3v signal. If you run across a universally slotted ATI Rage Pro, Voodoo3, or Matrox G200, for example, be very suspicious. :happyhappy: I see, glad to hear that. :) By the way, this thread was just made …

Check my sig for a link with some good AGP info. Thanks, swayee. According to the website: NVIDIA GeForce 6800: Universal 1.5V AGP 3.0 Card and Intel 845: AGP 1.5V Motherboard But still... I have heard of some boards made with a universal connector that aren't actually universal at all. So there's …

Ghetto edit: my other alternative are either using a full 8x AGP motherboard (like Malik's ASRock 775i65G), or get a PCIe mobo. But then I'll wonder what should I do with these 845PE ISA mobos. 😖

My mobo is Soyo SY845PE ISA, which only has 4x AGP slot (1.5v). Will GeForce 6800 AGP work on my mobo? From what I read, an XFX 6800 has AGP 4x / 8x interface, which means it should work on 4x slot (or shouldn't it?). However, a friend of mine said that each vendor could have different …

sorry I didn't test it with forced AA. You are right though that it's hit and miss. AA frequently works in old games tho. Ah, I remember now; DOSFreak posted this link about a year ago. Apparently, not all games can work with MSAA --and Radeons have only MSAA. GeForces, on the other hand, have both …

How did you do that? And what heatsink are you using? Well how fortuitous for you, I just got a free hand-me-down camera today. :) All I did was pull the two crap 40mm fans and then mount a 80mm fan. Oh, I thought you use homemade clamping and/or drilled some extra holes or such. You know, 3dfx …

I remember playing the Vangers demo when it came out and was unimpressed. At that time if a game left my Voodoo card idle then it was a waste of time. :depressed: I feel so ashamed now. To be fair, I skipped Vangers the first time it came around, not to mention that I was skeptical to Interactive …

Vangers. Yes, gamespot gave it lukewarm review. On the other hand, I don't always agree with gamespot either.

I know for a fact that one game in my experience needs close to 512mb of ram in Win98. That is Ultima IX, using the maximum 16-bit textures with maximum viewing distance. On the other hand, Jane's Longbow 2 cannot run with more than 366Mb of RAM. I wonder if there are other games with such "too …

Free inheritance here. Hard to get excited about this thing lol. It's in fantastic condition.

Speaking of music, how many Amiga games using .MOD music format? MOD definitely sounds better than FM, and still sounds better than crappy GM (like Waveblaster, for example).
