Update: a friend on TR said that 6800 SLI on Windows 98 should be possible, as long as I could find a PCI Express motherboard with Windows 98 driver. Any suggestion? By the way, I also wonder: does Windows 98 need driver to run on a particular motherboard? I thought motherboard driver (or is it …

One thing I like about GeForce 6800 is that it works with Windows 98, so I (at least theoritically) can play old, Windows 98-only games with all the glory of 6800 (AA, AF, etc). However, a friend told me that Windows 98 does NOT support PCI Express, so a 6800 SLI is impossible in Win 98. At most, I …

Multiplayer old school games? Makes me wonder: what's the earliest game that includes multiplayer? I guess it's not something can be done easily in DOS, and chances the only protocol supported is IPX.

I have a feeling these environment variables made no difference to my problem, but I gave up for a while. It looks to me as though the variables in the list are for the Voodoo 1, not the Voodoo 2 - for example: SST_TMUMEM_SIZE=2 should maybe be: SSTV2_TMU_MEMSIZE=2 Maybe will try this later. …

The 286 CPU can only address 16MB directly. So the expansion card uses a small portion of that address space to map in parts of its 32MB memory. The disadvantage is the expansion cards run at ISA bus speed whereas the memory bus of a 286 could already be faster. Running emm386 on a 286 is a bit …

Maybe this is what you need: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=85790#85790 Thanks! I think the .BAT file would be useful. The Voodoo2 variables page is helpful too. set SST_GRXCLK=50 set SST_FT_CLK_DEL=0x4 set SST_TF0_CLK_DEL=0x6 set SST_TF1_CLK_DEL=0x6 set SST_VIN_CLKDEL=0x1 set SST_VOUT_ …

Well, this thread makes me thinking..... Yes, although I haven't experienced myself, I heard about some early GLide games that just don't work with Voodoo2 SLI. The thread mentions about EF2000 and Mechwarrior 2: 3dfx Edition as examples of such games. My questions are: (1) Is there any list of …

IIRC there is also some sort of VGA-DVI converter box (not converter cable) with a built-in hardware scaler that can convert the VGA input into a desired DVI resolution. I just don't remember the name of such device. Was it "video scaler" or what? 😕

I don't have at hand but a nifty little batch file will make your V2 SLI look like a voodoo 1 for must tricky games. EF2000 for example. I'm really interested in the batch file. If I recall correctly, to make certain GLide games (Voodoo1-only GLide games) to work with Voodoo2 SLI is to disable one …
