I really wish you two would take this to PM. Scali, your technical knowledge would have so much more impact if you could just hold your tongue with the insults. ^Agrees. When you have been explaining the same thing for over 20 years, and people still don't listen (and keep arguing against you), you …

"No dollar unspent dual tualatin build." So when's your Voodoo 5 6k coming in? :D And yes, those old SCSI drives make a horrible lot of noise, will make your eardrums bleed :dead: Afaik Win2k is the last Windows NT OS that still works with at least soms of the older ATA LS-120 drives and nice touch …

To my knowledge HIS had the fastest HD4670 AGP. 750MHz core and 1GB GDDR3 128bit memory at 1750. They also released one with slower GDDR3. http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product1-47.shtml Both have a very nice IceQ blower cooler and run cool and silent. I have the fast version, they don't appear that …

The goal here was to recreate the system that got me through late high school and college. The original system was: Intel D815EEA2-U, 1200mhz P3,512MB RAM, Voodoo5, SB Live. I'm going for a different video setup with the new build, but otherwise it will be very much the same. Games intended to be …

Should the 533MHz celeron be this bad paired with a G450? I don't really know about G450, Matrox at some point left the gamers 3D market and later GPUs may actually be worse compared to older GPUs. The problem with the earliest Celeron is that even though the Mendocino (300MHz to 533MHz or so) were …

I do remember having (slightly) overpayed for a Voodoo 5 (close to €100?) which was years ago. And why? I just had to have one 😵 I may have paid more for large lots, but in such cases the individual parts were probably a good deal anyway.

Which HD 4670 AGP do you have? Mine is a Club 3D version, though I think there was a HIS with faster clocks? A friend of mine also has the exact same AGP card. We both actually each decided to go get one when new...in a real PC parts store :D This one : LINK :) There indeed was, it has a bit faster …

How is this even possible? Sometimes you have to wiggle it a bit. And just to be sure, you are not trying to fit a PCI V3 into an AGP slot, right?? The XP PC Has an AGP3 8X slot and the Voodoo 3 is I believe a AGP 1 2x Card the Windows 98 PC (The Beige avenger) has an AGP 2 4x slot which I guess is …

Aopen AX6BC is BX and your P2-300 is either Deschutes or Klamath (Klamath being older and hotter). It's a 66MHz CPU but chances are yours has several unlocked CPU multipliers. It's probably set to 4.5x (55x4.5 == 300MHz) right now. If you feel like some experimenting and don't mind getting barely …

Would this mean the HD 4670 actually has an advantage compared to HD 3850 when it comes to AA and massive performance drop? the problem will be finding a proper 4670 AGP, not one with DDR2 2004-2008 is filled with good Radeons, x800, x1K were very competitive, HD 3800 were great value, and HD 4800 …
