This is what the System Info button on the 3dfx properties tab shows for mine: http://i.imgur.com/CzLJN7K.png You can also try the DirectX diagnostic tool, dxdiag. It should have a display tab for the Voodoo 2 with the total amount of video memory: http://i.imgur.com/NZG4Sc0.png http://i.imgur.com/ …

Yup, that's a V2 1000 allright. Here are pics of mine to compare with:

So, is the Fair Friend Enterprise Company the brand of the board as I've never heard of them before? i would say it is, haven't seen any other brand that even comes close in its layout. Do you think the board is honestly any good? Since you took it out of a working PC I would say yes, as long as …

Interesting-looking board.... has solder pads for external PS2 mouse, COM1 and VGA ports, EISA slot, and 2 extra sockets. Haven't seen a hybrid like that before. I believe this is a very close match: http://artofhacking.com/th99/m/E-H/31017.htm

Really sad news to hear, another of the good ones is gone 😢 . I really liked his performances in Good Morning, Vietnam and Mrs. Doubtfire. May he find the peace and tranquility that apparently evaded him in life 🙁

In fifteen years I'll officially be a senior citizen (I'm 50 already so I'm starting to walk through that door anyway). Hopefully my two retro-rigs will still be around too; if not, then at least I'll have my pics to remind me of what I managed to accomplish back then (and wow the young ones too :-D …

CGI is never the salvation for a movie in any way And that's the reason why I abandoned mainstream entertainment in the mid-1990's, I could see where it was going and just gave up. Computing in general (and retro-computing in particular) is my entertainment now, along with watching pre-1990's …

I would be happy with a Pentium 166MMX (lots of great memories from that time period). If not allowed to go that far back, then a Pentium 4 Northwood - I had one as my main rig until 9/13; by then, most websites became too slow an unbearable to tolerate.

Reading how many GUSes that guy had to go through to get a working one was depressing. I sometimes see them go for decent prices from places like Hungary or the Czech Republic or the Russian Federation, but they seem a bit too good to be true. Something tells me he's been taking too many risks in …

Sorry brostenen, that's not how it is. Here are a couple of links to start with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensoniq_AudioPCI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_Live!

The Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI card, has the same compatibility as the CT4620. It has lower system requirements, yet it has inferiour wavetable than CT4620. (less onboard memory) The only upside, is that it is better at emulating OPL-3 than the Live card. (Just slightly not good at all) Both the …

As long as you're only interested in playing MIDI files, I seem to recall that there's a GUS emulator that works with Win9x. (I have no idea how to find it, though.) I believe it's this one: http://www.deinmeister.de/gusemu/. I have never used it, however, so I don't know if it actually works. PS: …

Chiptunes, tracker music, MIDI music (mostly from games). Right now I'm listening to my YM tunes collection. Very nice 😀
