And what would be the PCI + ISA go-to motherboard if I'm not going VLB ?

VLB boards are pretty easy and cheap but they are not excatly easy to work with and worse the best VLB cards are pretty hard to find. I suggest that you hunt for a pci socket 3 board and have easier options when it comes to the graphics card. I don't fear "hard" as I used to build those PC back …

I just go a hold on an AMD 486 DX/4-100 Mhz. But I need everything else ! What would be a very performant 486 setup of that era ? - I want a VLB motherboard. - I will run Windows 3.11 for Workgroups with Dos 6.22 (otherwise suggested) - I do not know what to use for Video card nor for IO controller. …

Thanks, that's what I figured. I will simply have a separate .BAT to call for the PCI SB. Thanks a bunch, I thought I was going crazy ! I'll post pics of my rig soon.

Hi, Those two parameters get removed from my autoexec.bat only when booting into Windows 98. Is it the Win98 driver that checks for those lines and remove them ? I suspect yes. Can I prevent this behaviour ?

Problem resolved : Bad SDRAM configuration that caused corruption in Memtest86+. Rearranged the ram, and no more static.

Well, GPU speaking : the hardest game I would play on that rig would be something like FlightSim 2004 eventhough it's past the 2000 year limit. Other examples are : NFS High stakes, NFS Porsche 2000. Early games would be something like Test Drive III, F-117/A Stealth Fighter, a bunch of Sierra's …

I also found these too. But no mobo for the AMD's. http://imgur.com/a/Uog7z

Hi ! I have a bunch of hardware and I am not sure of what to put together to make a good gaming station for games 1990-2000. All i have to present you are pictures in an imgur album I just made. http://imgur.com/a/hNVLg

Never had issue running that game in DosBox. Maybe your keyboard mapping is wrong or something.

Uploaded Audio sample.

Trying booting MS-DOS in dosbox and test if it works, would have taken less time than discussing on this forum.

Well, I don't know if this one fits the category. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Advanced-Gravis-700-0 … =item3f321aaaef But how much is an Ultra Sound really worth ?

Has anyone ever solved that issue ? It was working before on older version, having both the SBtype set and GUS=true
