Sega Rally you say? We might have to take that file down then, or at least remove that portion of the image... We can make a fair use claim to the driver software, but I think bundled games could spell some trouble... Most likely the drivers themselves won't cause an issue (theoretically, a really …

Yeah, resolution is also the only advantage to V2 SLI in such a rig. It gets you 1024x768. But again you might as well use a Banshee or Voodoo3 - save a slot or two, better 3D image quality, any 3D resolution, excellent 2D. Unless you find a Metabyte Wicked 3D and the custom drivers that go with it …

No matter which you decide to go with, it's going to cost you a lot with the prices that people demand for 486 motherboards these days. You have to be very lucky and very fast to find a cheap 486 motherboard or complete system and be able to grab it before someone else does.

Actually S3 cards are supposed to be the best for compatibility. That's one of the reasons why Microsoft emulates a S3 Trio in Virtual PC.

Just to clarify what Tetrium is saying; he is asking what VERSION / REVISION of a graphics card driver is best suited for a particular card model. :) Exactly :) Heres an example of what I mean. If I search google for GeForce 3 best driver, I come across a large number of threads, including these …

Same here; lots of stuff in the pipeline for testing. I happen to have a Cyrix MII-366GP at 2.2v and one at 2.9v. I'm curious to compare their overclockabilities. I also want to compare the overclockability of the Cyrix MII-400GP 2.2v with the MII-366GP 2.2v. I'm confused why Cyrix bothered to …

GeForce 7 doesn't have 9x drivers so if you want to upgrade, a GF 6800 Ultra is as far as you can go with it. ATi doesn't have drivers for 9x after the 9800XT so you're better off going with green if you will be using 9x.

...Really, is there some reason you can't just put "Champ-Em" in your subject line instead of "these" ? And sure, I remember them. I don't think arcade emulation was quite as feasible then as it is now; there also seem to be many more ways to hook up old digital joysticks nowadays. Yes, because the …

With those barrel type batteries you might want to snip off the legs as close to the battery as possible then solder your new battery holder to the legs of the old one that way you don't have to work so close to the motherboard and there is less risk of damaging anything. +1. I usually do the same …

Keep in mind that if there's a dispute, having a third party in the middle complicates matters and you probably won't get a resolution in your favor.

Weren't the Apple Is ship as just a mainboard with which you had to build your own case and keyboard? I don't see how a fair resell value can be determined outside of how good a job the original owner did putting it together. It is only a bare board that is being sold, aside from that with only 40- …
