Same seller yes, but I didn't know I would receive 15ns chips which I warned Artex about. Artex made a case for the 10ns ones. I'm pretty sure if you just accepted the 15ns ones you would've had them by now.

I'll need an MPU401 !? why ? i thought i just need a gameport/midi cable to connect on soundblaster That is correct, UART MPU-401 is the interface used to connect to the external SC55 which is present on the Soundblaster. Go for an SC55, it is more flexible as it can be used on both new and modern …

Nope. I barely managed to sell mine Tseng Labs graphics cards for 20$. Also Western Digital WD90C31 special will outperform ET4000. It has the same performance as seen by the graph above, no outperforming. The reason the PCBench 640x480 test with its 1.4 FPS is missing because the VESA TSR wasn't …

Finally received the memory chips necessary to upgrade my ET4000/W32P to 2MB. I wanted to do this since there have been lots of talk of performance increases of 64-bit memory interleaving on these cards but I've failed to see any benchmarks on this before (like this post ). Me and Artex previous …

ASUS P3B-F with 2 ISA slots... Damn that's a good buy! My favorite 440BX motherboard. Any plans to run a Tualatin in it? Just needs pinmodded CPU and FCPGA slotklet, so it's pretty easy/cheap to do. Nope, just a slot 1 Pentium III 600E. I hope that increasing the FSB to 133MHz will be stable. I …

I was looking for the MGA 3D-Superpack disc for the Matrox Impression 3D accelerated games, but I ended up with the whole boxed card. In my two years searching for this disc it is the first time I've seen this card sold fully boxed: https://s19.postimg.org/9z2yos643/2014-07-05_16.18.59_small.jpg Not …

No, I didn't. I've tested them in two different boards and there are no problems. I don't think I've been super lucky, but I believe the failure rate is somewhere between your 10% and mine 0%. Lets see what Artex experience 😀

It's a great possibility Youtube will start to force ads on all videos to increase revenue. Ofc this is entirely within their right as they are offering a free service. So what will you do then with your own videos, take them all down? Gotta be a though choice. To the OP: No need to change your …

It's Direct3D that give trouble with Geforce cards. PowerSGL works with all cards I've tested. The ATI Rage II should work fine with the M3D. Dunno what is the fastest pairing card in every situation (Gona benched in Tomb Raider and fond Rendition cards to be the fastest as mentioned by Putas). When …
