Re: Video card upgrade for A64 X2 4400+

Posted on 2021-05-03, 03:54

You've got me curious about some of ATI's AGP cards, so I tossed my x1600 Pro into my XP 2800 and im going to see how it compares to a 9800Pro then also compare it to an AGP 4350 It would be interesting to see where they stack up, because the 9800Pro and x1600 need external power, but can the …

What would you recommend for a good S939 board? I found a Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 for a decent price, is it any good? I also found an ASUS A8N-VM CSM and an ASUS A8N5X I haven't used those exact boards but I have an A8N-SLI. Based on problems I had with it, I believe that it cannot reliably support …

I think the term "job lot" is weird. :) But I've bought some bulk lots of motherboards and video cards a few times. A lot of 24 AGP video cards that I bought 10+ years ago has to be the greatest collecting score I ever had. At the time it was pretty good. Today it's just absurd when I look at the …

Re: How rare is the Geforce 7950GT agp?

Came up on axle branded one sealed in a $20 lot i bought flipped it for $425 on ebay. Do regret it sorta just for bragging rights. My gecube x1950xt agp destroys it. Damn. Yeah, as much as I'd love to have one of these, especially new and undamaged - I couldn't justify keeping it if it's worth that …

Re: First dual cpu system Project 6x6

In XP64 I was able to use a game port to USB adapter with my racing wheel/pedal set. I tried one of those (a cheap one) but the resolution was lousy. When I looked in the calibration screen under XP I noticed it was very notchy with something like 32 points of resolution or so. It made my full size …

I was using XP64 for a while. The only big gripe I remember for games was that it doesn't support 15pin joysticks. I had a nice one I wanted to use. Something I cared much less about is it's non-support for serial/parallel ports. I guess the other potential pitfall is if you want to run anything old …

Re: Affordable, but still good, PCI video card

I bought a 8mb Rage XL that was labeled as PCI but I couldn't get it to work. I don't know much about Rage cards but I think the "Rage XL" was a late derivation that was marketed as cheap low power graphics for servers. It was onboard many server motherboards in the mid-2000s. There's one on my …

Re: AGP Pro and Voodoo 5 voltages

Posted on 2021-04-12, 23:16

The super socket7 cards (because these were with agp slots and not the socket7 systems which only had pci slots), were compliant with the agp 1.0 standard with 3.3V supply voltage However, it is true that despite having the right power supply voltage, often (for productive saving choices) they did …

I saw an Etsy link a few years ago for someone selling 'gold fingers' necklaces of some kind, and I saw the ISA fingers of a Gravis Ultrasound. I mean, even a broken card sells for 10-20x more than they were selling the necklace for. Many years ago I got a forum member (different forum) connected …
