Re: Fastest AGP and PCI video cards with Win98SE support

I wouldn't use anything from ATI before 9700 anyway because those chips generally suck for everything compared to a Geforce of similar age. In PCI you don't have much choice, though. R200 is the last PCI Radeon with Win 9x support. I'd still pass on R200, though for a PCI only Win9x machine as the …

An nVidia 7950GT with RAM desoldered (limited to) 256 MB should be the fastest reliable nvidia AGP card for Win9x. I have not yet tested that, though. A 7900GT is the next closest candidate. The 7950GX2 is out of the question, 8xxx high end cards are PCIE only and very unstable with the unoffical …

For AGP it's GeForce 6800 Ultra (Ultra Extreme if you can find one but they're rare) and for PCI it's GeForce 6200 PCI. Don't bother with anything from the FX line in PCI, they're all horrible. The 6200 beats them all despite being a bottom end card. The fastest ATi cards you'll find are the 9800XT …

Nope. They're PCI. Rebooting with empty slots then rebooting again with slots filled seems to have worked. I've downgraded my expectations of these machines by using a Voodoo Rush in one and the original Voodoo Graphics in the other. They probably won't run a Rage 128 or V3 at anywhere near max …

I've been trying different cards in 2 Pentium systems. One is a P120 and the other is a Pentium 233MMX. The Pentium 120 came with a ATi Mach 64 and the 233MMX came with a Virge GX and they both work fine. I have tried putting Rage 128 and Voodoo 3 cards in them and all I get is 1 long beep, 3 short …

How can I lose an argument you chickened out on? And as I wrote an argument with a brick wall is more fruitfull. You just seem to be full of it. Completely. And every thread you touch is poorer for it. This one is going to be another one... But please, mods, before closing this one, just cut the …

Widescreen monitors are great for movies, and TV shows for about the past decade. That's why they are popular. 4:3 is not so hot anymore for that unless you like your old school TV shows that are 4:3. The price of monitors is pretty much cheaper than ever outside of really high quality panels so …

Hmm when we first got the internet at home was using a DX2 66 with 16MB, Internet Explorer 3 took ages to start up on that. Was always using 16 Colours then in Windows 3.1, I actually played a lot of Sim City 2000 in 16 Colours but when I first saw it on 95 with 256 Colours I thought it looked …

Just curious as to how much you paid for this? Another poster above seemed to imply that it was a lot. Was this from ebay Australia? I only ask because I can't find a completed listing for it there.

Uhhh well so I imaged my Righteous 3D CDs. But it occurred to me that they have some full games on them (not just demos). I'm not sure what you guys want to do with this... It also came with Mechwarrior 2 3dfx edition on another CD. Making copies of CD's with full games on them would probably run …
