Re: Windows 98SE update list?
Posted on 2013-11-05, 21:15
I've tried some of the unofficial service packs for 98SE that contain these updates, and I wouldn't even bother with them. They just cause problems and slow things down.

Re: Blizzard classic Blackthorne available for free download

Now they just need to release Warcraft II and Diablo. WC2 shouldn't be too hard to run under DosBox, though Diablo may require some tweaking to run on newer systems. Anyway, just tried the Blackthorne download, are the files really this minimal in the original DOS version? I see no way to change the …

You could try this 28 channel mod, it may only need 20 or 24 channels as I don't believe all channels had samples playing at the same time. I think the 28 channels are more for ease of notation, but it still has a monster amount of channels. Unfortunately it ends abruptly, but if your listening to …

Over on the Allegro.cc forums, which is where I go when I need help on programming stuff or to help other people out, it actually shows member numbers for everyone. New members are presently in the 15,000 range. My Member ID is 1,424. Some of the people still around have member numbers in the low …
Re: When did SDRAM become prevalent?

Wtf? Considering that AGP slots are one of the defining features of the platform and I can't even think of any SS7 boards without AGP... perhaps you mixed it up with the quirky AGP implementation on those chipsets, but I don't think that is enough to call all of those boards garbage. So it's just …

For a K6-2 system, how much of a difference does using SDRAM make vs using EDO? In DOS I eyeball it at around 20-40%% difference? But that's just a rough guess. I haven't looked into this in greater detail. For a K6-2 system, how much of a difference does using SDRAM make vs using EDO? According to …

@mr_bigmouth_502 : nice new sig, my ram is 800mhz@5-5-5-18, i also would have liked a p35 but is costly for a decent 775 board these days, though i do have an asus m4a78lt-m for a phenom II x4 build to eventually replace my main box. I played with the idea of getting a better 775 board myself, but …

Does a PAS card offer Soundblaster or Soundblaster Pro compatibility? If so, it sounds like it may be an interesting alternative to a typical Creative card.

Right now I'm actually running an ASUS P5B. It's an older board, but it actually has better features than what I was using before. EDIT: Just updated my sig. I decided to try a different banner style. 😁

I have a Radeon 9200 AIW sitting on my desk
Posted on 2013-11-03, 03:47
What should I do with it? I'm considering throwing it into this spare Socket 754 Athlon 64 system I have, and maybe using it to record footage from old gaming consoles. The only problems are that I haven't tested it yet, and I don't have the breakout box or software that are supposed to go with it. …

I wonder, is it stable at 290MHz? I think it would be a great way to take advantage of the extra voltage that's being fed to your CPU. it certaintly is stable at 290mhz :D i may have to fit a heatsink to the northbridge though as it gets quite warm with the fsb at 85mhz. i would be better to use …

As long as it's stable and it can pass a stress test like Prime95, it should be fine. I'd watch how hot it runs though, just to make sure.

I'm pretty sure SDRAM first became prevalent when the Pentium II started gaining popularity. I've encountered K6-2 systems with SDRAM, but never Pentium MMXs.
