2. If you have a voodoo1 and use 512x384 you should consider 15" TFT (e.g. Nec L367) to get a great image without jailbars Old TFTs are horrible (15,17), even if some can do 70hz without frame skipping. Very low contrast, 6-bit color internally, long smearing trails on moving objects. Just no. …

so what should be considered as best and next best option? - 15" 1024x768 - 17" 1280x1024 - 19" 1280x1024 -20" 1600x1200 ? Some thought's about it: 1. Having a TFT which can do 720x400 @70hz is important for some dos- and windowgames for smooth scrolling 2. If you have a voodoo1 and use 512x384 you …

I just grabbed some originals, TheDig, FullThrottle, SpaceQuest6...everything runs just fine on my 6100/66 with 256K 2nd-Level cache.

Yes @Dimitris1980 the PM6100 is slow, but there is a big difference on the early 6100/60 and the later 6100/66 that I own. The 6100/66 came with a 256KB L2 cache module that boost gfx-speeds a lot! +50%! if you stick to a resolution/colordeph that let's the framebuffer fit in that cache, so getting …

Excellent informations! I have read them carefully...just in short: - ES1373 never works in Dos on AladinChipset on my acer-board. Regardless plain dos or Doswindow within Win95. - It gives me no error back but it simply does not work at all. - Beside that ES1373 seems to be different than ES1371 …

Is there a "bigger" difference between ES1371 and ES1373 ? The OS/2 driver for the ES1371 does not seem to work with the ES1373.

I have a mac voodoo3 that has no cooler. would be nice to get a passive cooling-solution. Having the lines on the cooler parallel to the agp-slot is not the best solution. I really would love such a cooling solution. as always professional stuff, not consumer stuff from MATROX! https://www. …
Re: PC Speaker Sound Device. Need advice.

some early AC97 codecs rout the pc-speaker to the line-out. e.g. i815e on FSC D1215. later boards do not have that feature.

Thx! I already had 1.8 and it did not work because it's plain dos and does not care for windows drivers. So that solution you mentioned should do the trick. I will check this later because I have no working sound under plain dos. I have to switch the machine. SB128 PCI is not compatible with ALADIN- …

There must have been someone who changend the fan/cooler on such a parhelia card....? I am currently using a P650 that is an excellent card, but has half the bandwith and half the tmu's/shaders etc. and that cut the performance more than in half.
