Ok SiSoft Sandra is a bit of a pain as the details of the benchmark result are in the list at the bottom and you can't display it all on one screen :) So I left out the last information in the list, which is access time, which was 0 anyway.

Will there be similar issues later in the game? Not just at the beginning? A pain to test this...

Guys, I'm not using a BX440 board :) For Windows 98SE Crystal Mark can't be used. Because this Thread is about W98SE and disk performance, we should use tests that run under W98SE, right, makes sense? :) Link to ATTO please. To the version that can do write. Because if we can't agree on some …

Skyscraper, at this point it's all about collecting. I wasn't aware that benchmark needs, Internet. Thanks for pointing it out. The idea is that, eventually, we can get a benchmark database project going and we will decide on which ones to include and there will be pre-tests going on to look at …

To be honest, start with a complete, working system. Starting with just the board, retro hardware will consume you 😵

Could you create a separate Thread for the Windows stuff? I think a LOT of people might find this interesting. Including me :) As I shoot my vide, you might have seen it in the first part, I add my findings into a spreadsheet. As this grows it will have detailed tech-specs about each game and …

The first two are likely Ensoniq AudioPCI siblings. The others are Live! The Live! are newer and I would say "better". Amongst them though? No clue. Whatever works I guess 😀
