Ok, then, what retro games could benefit from a 1ghz PIII + the GF4 4600 combo? or a P4 for that matter, I don't plan to build a computer just to play the games I mentioned, that's why I asked for advice in the first place, I just want to give this thing other uses beyond the casual video editing. …

New games ? I believe almost all the games I have listed are games I used to play the most back then when I got my MSI Geforce 4ti 4600, Ghost Recon and Morrowind came bundled with the card. Unless you're talking about running games with support for Glide, or DOS games under Windows 98 (I don't need …

I'll go with the P4, may give the Athlon a chance too, I have to run some tests, what games are good to meassure these card/CPU combos?? the games talked on the link that archasan provided seem to be a bit old for this card and (more Geforce 3 oriented I believe, Quake 3?) As far as I remember …

I have this card lying around and I would like to build a retro gaming PC with it, the probem is that I really don't know what era of games should I look for with this card in mind, any ideas? So far, the only use I have given to it is to capture/edit video from old VHs tapes.

Thanks for the list, I'm already looking on my stash of old CDROM games for my copy of Tohshinden, but I would like to try the Sega games, do you know if the retail releases of these games had support for the NV1? or it is only a feature included on the versions that came with these cards? 😊

However, I can't think of any logical reason why a Via Apollo PIII board would only recognize 16MB. One of the main advantages of that chipset is that it's pretty forgiving about memory compatibility. Have you tried the sticks one at a time, to see if they both behave the same way? Because the only …

Chip testers as others have mentioned might work, but does your friend have to remove the chips before testing them? It might be a chip tester, I don't know how that "table" with cables and hookups is called, he don't need to remove the chips in order to test them, this guy also has some "specific" …

That would be great, but I don't know where to look for in order to get the right chips; basically what we have been doing was to get 1 functional card for the price of 2 broken ones from the same brand, and I am aware that the type of memory used varies according to the manufacturer, i.e: MSI, Asus …

One question, though... have you tried just doing a reball/reflow on the existing chips? It's far more common for the joints to break loose than it is for the chips to actually go bad, unless they were burned out with too much voltage or something. This guy also has some kind of scanner ( sorry for …
