This is the sound chip

I'll stick with the on board sound as I'm not really a sound buff, thus leaving spare PCI slots. Agreed about the speed. It's only 66 right? Found a Hitachi 80gb which is a bit overkill and put Win95 (950B) on which I'll probably change to 98se. I've got all the drivers for this board on a cd …

Standard ATX on this PSU. Only drawback being the cables are very short. I'll do the sound chip in a min.

Impressive! Win 98 SE service pack 3? I've got SP1 which I though was the last. Must have missed something. 😀

It's got on board sound (Yamaha OPL3) however I've got a Creative hanging around.

I've had this board kicking around for a while which I've been using for simple bench tests with other components. Maybe now would be a good time to give it some life back. The model is E139761. I've initially set it up with a PII 233/512 three 32Mb dimms, a Trident 3DImage 9750 AGP card and a …

The build quality of those Dells and Compaqs is incredible, especially when compared with some of the tin boxes I see in my shop.

Update: Had a rummage and found a box of P2's which I thought I had lost in the move last year. Changed the Celeron for a PII 266/512 which is showing up as 300Mhz, even though I can't see any way of tweaking in the BIOS.

Very nice renderer for Unreal and the game runs as smooth as butter. All explained here: http://kentie.net/article/d3d10drv/index.htm

Sorry to bash PC Chips, but it's a fact that out of all the mobos I've had to replace in the last few years it's been 75% of that make along with ECS. Maybe I'm just lucky that this old one still manages to fire up....touch wood.

I can't even get to the main menu of the game. Running Win7 x64 Radeon 5770. Using glidewrapper and compat for win98 and patched to 3.0. Will keep trying Edit Anyone tried running it through dosbox?

Work, never seem to keep it tidy. Home where I don't work at all. The tv/monitor is a Samsung 27" which I'm still getting used to 🤣.

The mobo appears to be a PC Chips M729 (PC100 BXCel). I've seen hundreds of PC Chips boards down here, mainly 478's and the failure rate has not been impressive. Maybe the earlier ones were higher quality. The Voodoo Rush 3dfx patch did the trick thanks and now I'm shooting bats quite happily. I …

Will check that FN2, thanks. I wish I'd kept the boxes. I've had these cards rumbling about in boxes from one house/country to another. They don't make em like they used to. Have to be these then: http://www.tdfx.de/eng/power3d2.shtml

So they are 12MB beasts. Great! I actually remember the day I bought the second one. In those days it was a significant sum of money. I'll double check the mobo/cpu tomorrow. Tbh, it's been quite a while since I fiddled around with the system as I spend most of my time fixing other people's PC's for …

It says: SLI detected! Frame buffer mem 4Mb Texture mapping unit (s) 2 Total texture mem 8Mb Although in Everest DX/DX video/available local video memory it says 16384 Kb (not primary video display driver)
Re: Celeron 300
Posted on 2013-05-28, 20:13
You're probably right about the SLI memory. When I check with display properties/3dfx/system info it says total texture memory 8mb. Would that be referring to each card? Cheers
