Archsan: I started losing interest in most PC games right around the time that DX9 went mainstream. TRON 2.0, Mafia, and the newer iterations of IL-2 Sturmovik are the only DX9 games that will likely see any action on my legacy Win98SE rig. The FX 5900 Ultra should be sufficient for all of those, …

It looks like this thread is winding down, so I thought I'd make a final post and let everybody know that I've decided to use my Canopus cards. I guess they're not quite as uncommon/rare/unique as I thought. Still, I really like the more-flexible pass-through cable that the Canopus cards use, so I'm …

I'm tempted to just use a Voodoo 5 5500 instead and hope to avoid the PSU issues. So now the question is: Will the Antec Basiq 350W PSU with 20A on the 5V be enough for an Athlon 1400 and an AGP Voodoo 5 5500? Thanks!

I also found this Rosewill PSU that supposedly provides 55A on the 5V: Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W ATX12V v2.01 SLI Ready Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182032 Unlike the StarTech unit, this one is backed up with some positive reviews. Would there be a hazard in …

Check this one out: StarTech ATX2POWER450 450W ATX12V Ver2.01 Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707078 It looks pretty good for our needs. It's the only new PSU I can find with greater than 30A on the 5V. What do you all think? I use a StarTech AT PSU with my old …

From what I can gather, the Antec Basiq BP350 has 20A on the 5V. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?It … N82E16817371003 Do you all think that would be OK with the Athlon 1400, Ti4600, and two Voodoo 2 cards?

Hi! Thanks for all your replies! Re: sliderider, I actually have a spare 6800GT that I've decided not to use. I'm probably going to offload it on eBay sometime quite soon. Why not use it? I'm going for maximum compatibility and performance for this system. In particular, I like to play a bunch of …

The KT7A v1.3 supports up to Athlon XP 2100+ CPUs. The KT7A v1.2 supports up to Athlon 1400 CPUs. While I do have another system with the v1.3 board and an Athlon XP 2100+, this one is a v1.2 board so it can only support up to the Athlon 1400. I tried for a long time to find another v1.3 board, but …

Hi! Here's the system I'm building: ABIT KT7A Antec Basiq 350w PSU Athlon 1400 768mb RAM Win98SE AWE64 Gold sound card Two Voodoo 2 cards SLI I have available both a Ti4600 and a 5900 Ultra. Which one do you think I should use? I'm tempted to use the 5900 Ultra, but I'm concerned that the PSU isn't …

Hi All! Thanks for all your replies! A bit more info on my planned build: This is going to be an ABIT KT7A with an Athlon 1400 and 768mb of RAM running Win98SE. It will have an ISA AWE64 Gold for sound. For a PSU, I got an Antec Basiq 350. I'm trying to create a system that is really fast, but also …

Hi! I'm new to posting here, but I've been lurking for years. I've now got 5 legacy boxes running DOS and/or Win98 with various Voodoo cards. The ABIT KT7A is my favorite board for legacy gaming due to its ISA slot, which I like to populate with an AWE64. I've got two KT7A systems running now, and …
