I have been testing a voodoo3 3500, and i'm stuck trying to get audio from the breakout box. The card has an Audio In/Audio Out connector, but i can only get the Audio Out to work as it acts as passthrough to the sound card. I need to test the box connections. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes it is. It's not a bad case, but I think they released a second version of it that has the USB ports closer to the front, which would really be more convenient for me. I've had this one for about 3.5 years running a Q6600. I've just been upgrading the video card to keep up. Seems like it still …

Altough not in use i still have RIMMS and a motherboard for them. I have RDRAM in a video card too. It's a 1997/98 Mpact 2 chipset based videocard with ram @ 600MHz! Wicked speed! 😵

I actually like many of the aftermarket coolers. I prefer a modded graphics card over having a jet engine inside my case...but that's just me. What I don't like is a modded card that has the aftermarket cooler epoxied to the GPU :( And often the original fans are dead/very loud anyway, I'd rather …

The only problem i find in Fate is low volume with my Vortex 2. Maybe it was under Win9x? I also found that low volume issue and no digital sound problem, but only while in Windows 98. Under pure DOS, volume is higher and digital sound playback lags a lot. I tested it in pure DOS. Maybe my DB50XG …

Highscreen / Vobis were huge in Germany and Austria... I worked for Vobis in Portugal. I've put together countless Highscreen systems, and at the time we used very nice system parts. Asus, Gigabyte, Creative, Seagate, those ugly cases with the green button (it's my opinion), but everything worked …

[So what's wrong with Fate of Atlantis? And Gods? All these games gave me issues on PCI sound cards (AudioPCI and Vortex2). SQ4 is the best test though... I can only assume that they used really old / basic sound drivers that fail with modern gear. Newer games work flawless (Doom, Duke3D, Descent …

Not so vintage... pre-486 computers have not PCI slots; 486 boards with PCI slots are scarce, too. I think it would be more useful if was an ISA card. Also, CF cards are dissapearing from the market, so a SD card would be a better option. How about using one of those ? Also, I wonder if there are …

Yeah you're right on that. But having a secondary card is a benefit. I wish Nvidia had released a driver for their cards to use Glide... Wasn't there a rumour once that with the then new GeForce 3 there would be glide support? If my memory is not failing on me, i believe Creative did something like …

ASUS P2B...the first motherboard I ever owned :) And it still works too! @sprcorreia:Whats the revision of your P2B? If it's 1.12 you can replace that Katmai with a coppermine. Even some 1.10's (including mine) will work with Coppermine ;) Mine is a 1.10, but it runs coppermine (at least celerons). …
