Im not saying they output sound at the same time, Im asking how do you switch between them? When I had KQV in, I was able to switch between the headphone and RCA output. THe cable on the headphone jack was loose. I fixed it and sound works great from both channels. I just want to know how to select …

Re: Windows 98 PC Build - Better overall compatibility

I had been running 97/9800 pro's and even an Nvidia 6600GT in my 98SE machine. I dropped it back to using a slower CPU and a 4400Ti for much better compatibility. I found the games that suited the faster cards play much better on my XP machine. What was "more compatibile"? You were able to play …

Socket 7 Motherboard Recommendations
Posted on 2020-09-17, 22:32
Looking for recommendations on a good Socket 7 (doesnt need to be a Super Socket 7) board that I can setup PCI Voodoo and a PCI 2D Card with. Want to use a Pentium 233 processor in it as well. Any good recommendations? I know SS7 boards are nice, but I want to go for the PCI only build this time …

Check the board outside a case, just to rule out something poking it. My favorite S7 right now would be the "p5VX-BE". Intel Triton 2 chipset, supports MMX (ver 1.3 at least does) has a SDRAM slot. USB+PS2 pins on the board, just need a little breakout cable for them. Actually works nativly with …

Thanks all.....would a 200 do the trick as well as a 233? If not, can anyone rwcommend a board for a 233? My ss7 asus board appears to have bit the dust and the other regular socket 7 board I have isnt great with a 515x sis chipset and will only do 200....
Pentium "Sweet Spot"

What would be the ideal Pentium 1 speed to use (if possible) to run with a Voodoo1 and PCI 2D Card for later DOS (maybe Win95) gaming but also be able to disable cache (interal / external or both) and get 386 DX-33 speeds to play Wing Commander properly? Can this be achieved?
