Just tested Battle Arena Toshinden on a P120 with 32MB of RAM. First I popped in my good old Matrox Millennium with the memory expansion card (total of 6MB). This card already have Gouraud shading acceleration, which this game use alot of. I got 12 FPS in 640x400 with everything set to maximum. Then …

Planning to build a time correct late 1995 to late 1996 setup for a coming project. What would you say would be a new, but mainstream system? I'm thinking for late 1995 to go for P120, and for 1996 go for a P133 or P150. P120 and P133 was released in March and June of 1995, while the P150 and P166 …

I've finally gotten my 486 system with motherboard Asus VL/I-486SV2GX4 Rev 2.0 and a 486 DX4 100. No picture or POST when I press the power button. Not a single beep from the PC speaker. From the information I find it does not support EDO SIMM RAM which the seller sold with the machine and said …

I've noticed that even on a fresh Windows 7 install, Vista MIDI Fix and the other numerous default MIDI device selector utilities would generally error out or just not work. I actually had to go in and edit the registry myself before they'd start working, strangely enough. That is strange. I've …

Removing MSDISP.INF does not stop the autoinstalling. DXS3.INF or any OEM.INF I can't find at all. Also the INF\OTHER folder do exist. Windows version is 4.00.950 B, which is the OSR2 version.

It's very easy to do it in Windows 98, but how is it done in Windows 95? I'm trying to install an older S3 Virge driver for my STB Velocity 3D card, but the second Windows 95 boots up it installs the standard generic S3 Virge VX driver and asks for a restart. When I get back in and try to update the …

Look up the specs of board on the internet and see if it supports FC-PGA2. That's the Tualatin socket. Well, there are other solutions than just looking at the specs. If the motherboard can provide the correct voltage, then buying a Tualatin with the pin mod can work ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ …
