From reading through older threads here I was under the impression that anything post 285 GTX would have issues with certain XP games -- in particular the ones that have compatibility glitches in Windows 7 - or maybe a 560 Ti.

There's an irritating pause bug where the game pauses for a second at times if an AWE32/64 is in use, it's outputting to an external MIDI device, and you're using joystick. Others have used different work arounds, but I resorted to a separate Soundblaster 16, purely to drive external MIDI. That …

One thing to add with the 1993 floppy release of X-Wing is that it contains the original MT-32 tracks and GM tracks whereas the CD version only has the GM tracks... which can be played in MT-32 mode.

Have not used it so far, but keeping it because it's something you won't see every day. That …

Here's my salvage: From the 2001 Dell Dimension I pulled: - This OEM motherboard - it's huge. It's a 423 Socket 1st Gen Pentium 4 that uses RDRAM. I remember that when we had bought more memory it was a much costlier upgrade for this reason -- and they didn't have much in stock. - 512MB RDRAM (x2 …

Hey there! I've been stalking these forums quite a bit recently doing research but it's time I've posted - this is a kickass community. The first post is just an intro so skip to the 2nd post for build goals/parts I have. I was born in '86 but only ever had access to console gaming until '96 when we …
