You could better post an photo / image of that card.. So whe can identify it our selfs. Maybe you use the wrong card with the wrong drivers.

Nice looking system. If I can afford to some day (and have the space) I'd like to get a 386 myself. I totally get why you went with that case :D Then ill think you need to hurry up, otherwise you wouldnt find anything anymore.. These system / parts become more scarces every year you wait longer.. @ …

Sweet spot for me on an 486 system would be 100 mhz one.. Its fast enough for anything that also running great on an 66mhz machine.. On the other hand it also would working great on heavyer games. The other good thing is, the 100mhz cpu is very easy to find.. Iam going to use a 486 for dos games, …

I should fo for a 486 from 100 mhz till 133 mhz (keep it stock) Ocing on 5x86 doesnt make any sense.. it cant rendering 3d any good.. Then you could better build a first generation pentium 1 from my point of view.. So went you go for a 486, keep it stock and the system would running much longer. If …

My lastest buy is a full boxed sealed copy of windows 7 professional retail. I.... guess that's retro given that Windows 8.1 is out. It's a stretch though... ;) For me windows 7 isnt retro.. I had bought it specially for an Intel QX9650 system that i want to keep it as 32-bit system only. (maybe it …

I just tried the driver set that Elianda put on the drivers page for the ATI Wonder series, but when I ran the vinstall program to setup the card, it says it won't work on this model. Any suggestions? EDIT: Ok, tried the ULTRA Graphics drivers there and that seemed to do the trick. However, I don't …

Another option is to find a ASUS P3B-F (Intel 440BX chipset), buy the pinmodded Tualatin and a coppermine slotklet. None are hard to find and particular expensive. The ASUS board runs 133mhz with no problem and it came with up to 2 ISA slots. I use this setup with Pentium III-S 1.4GHz and 1024MB …

Do you also have picture made from the front of this case? I think some people mayby want to know which case you are using now. Iam also thinking of buying better psu`s for my retro systems. The quality of the psu`s back then which came included with the case was mostly the worst psu you can get. …

@Robin4, what did you do to fix your connector? Resolder? I had desolderd the old one, and replaced it with one of my dead boards.( that i know it was a working one.) Some 486 boards came with a very cheap DIN connector. Its just worns out over years. Then it doesnt make good connection with the …

If you dont want to spend an amount of money, and really doesnt care which parts you want to use i should recommend to get something that itsnt faster then a PII 266mhz.. I know those asus p3b-f boards are maybe out of period, but those boards are very flexible on installing older and newer …
