As for the 8800GTX, I always drooled for one of these. The guy that sold me the Musashi gave me a dead one a few months ago and I have it on display. It's really cool to just look at it and remember all those awesome memories. I also have found memories of the 8800GTX. It was a game changer in …

Just to inform that board revision has nothing in common with the amount of ISA slots. The ASUS P3B-F were sold in multiple configurations: The ASUS P3B-F is a unique moniker in the mobo world. To the best of my knowledge, it's the first motherboard "model" to (confusingly) house multiple slot …

That was you on Amibay? I believe you got shafted trading a Gravis Ultrasound for a CT3600. For a Gravis Ultrasound I would expect the best models like CT2760, CT3900 or CT3980.

otherwise, rev 1.03 will support a P3 (to 600mhz) I have a 1.03 as well and I'm running a Tualatin 1.4ghz in it. I've also tested a P3 800 which worked fine. So I'm afraid that your statement is incorrect. I would ofc try and get 1.04 if possible (I don't know the changes though), but if you can't, …

Is your POD write back enabled with SCSI ? SCSI CD-ROM works, but I haven't gotten the HDD to work yet. I only have two Adaptec SCSI ISA/VLB cards to test with. They produce other type of errors compared to running with other CPUs, so I believe the WB on the POD is not the problem. Setting it to WT …

I know it's not really on topic, but while googling I found this I never even knew they ever made an ISA variant of that card! I have the VLB version. Never figured out how to make it detect the extra 2MB (4MB total) RAM. The extra RAM is probably only for programs that support it. I have the same …

Actual 3D performance in MSI games I would rate higher than many other cards of the time. The target of the Mystique were raw FPS on the cost of graphical fidelility options.

I am thinking of getting an IDE/SATA adapter with it if that is important. The 500GB drive in the discussion is SATA? Windows 95 probably won't have drivers for that. Or for anything else in your system, if your motherboard is new enough to support SATA onboard. If it is a PCI card, it will …
