Maybe 32bit PCI graphics card based on AGP Graphics chipset will work older motherboard. According to my test results,It is mostly compatible with Pentium or higher motherboards. And it is compatible with some 486 motherboards. It is a video to play Quake3 by installing PCI type Radeon 9000 on 486 …

OPL2 / OPL3 generally uses Yamaha's YM3812 / YMF262M chipset. However, because there are many sound chipsets that do not have the Yamaha license of an FM synthesizer built in, I was curious about the sound of such compatible FM synthesizers. r_re_IMG_3651.JPG re_IMG_3650.JPG The Pentium 3 computer …

Very interesting , have you tried a demanding intelligent mode game like Gateway and it works without loading any kind of MPU driver? The card looks really nice too! Since it is set to Intelligent mode by default at boot time, no driver is needed. However, in order to use the built-in MT-32 sound …

I had several opportunities to grab 3D Blasters and NV1s for something like $30 a piece a number of years back. I always passed on them, because I don't find them interesting at all (basically nothing supports them). You can still get into vintage PCs on the cheap, but you have to be a lot more …

I deleted the eBay link. Thank you for your advice. Unless you are aiming to play 3D games in 386, paying a lot of money on this card is a waste of money.

Sound Track 97PCI is not the same as Digital XG. Digital XG is a PCI sound card with YMF744 / YMF754 chip. This card consists of a combination of Crystal CS4237 + Dream SAM9407. I connected the two chips to a PCI-to-ISA converter called K-Sound. However, since K-Sound had a lot of compatibility …

There are several ways to get 5v. You can get it from the motherboard's floppy drive connector, IR header. And you can peel off some of the red lines from the power supply.

I like your BIOS options for cache and RAM timings. I haven't seen a "Cacheable RAM address range" option in these BIOSes before. Does it go higher than 64 MB? option only available 4M,8M,16M,32M,64M. Slow Refresh should be enabled for optimal performance, assuming your RAM supports this. Most do. …

For DOOM timedemo 3, I get 14.1 fps. For your system with the same graphics card, you get DLC-40 = 11.3 fps, and DRx2 = 12.6 fps. With VLB graphics, you got DLC-40 = 12.85 fps, or DRx2 = 16.4 fps. Why is the performance increase for the DRx2, when using VLB, much greater than when the DLC uses the …
