Re: Installing SB Live on system with ISA SB 32pnp

Posted on 2021-06-10, 17:24

There's 2 main philosophies, summarised by.. 1 Add soundcards 2 ??? 3 Profit and 1 soundcard; some noise, 2 soundcards; more noise, 3 soundcards; all the noise. Nobody says that you need to use them all at once . An external mixer or even a switchbox (if one's use case cases are simple enough) …

For your planned setup, you don't need to disable anything in Windows or DOS, unless you plan on trying to use the Live's SB16 compatibility under DOS (which would be pointless, IMHO). I currently have, in one Windows 98 SE machine : SB Live! AWE64 (used to have have and SB32, which worked just as …

Re: Using an IDE ssd ?

Heh.... ok. All I am hearing here is basically 'no' then.... so. Was just thinking this MLC industrial drive might be somewhat (much?) more durable and/or reliable down the road, at least better than regular SSDs, which was the main attraction. And coming brand new in such small sizes AND being …

Re: Have an opportunity to grab more CRT monitors

Greetings, I found a bunch of CRT monitors for CHEAP. I have to drive two hours to pick them up, and someone 20 minutes from that location is giving me a free, new-condition 17" CRT. For those of you who read or responded to my posts about my NOS KDS 19" tweaking out and now needing repaired (I …

Re: Using an IDE ssd ?

Even if I have a spare PCI slot I still prefer to use the onboard IDE controller. The RAID bios takes way longer to initialize than it saves me in boot time anyway. 33mb/s is fast enough, and that is how I feel about modern flash memory for retro computers in general. First, I am also not a fan of …

Re: voodoo 5 5500 run very very slow on 2000s games

Posted on 2021-06-07, 23:48

I've been reading these threads as a mockery towards people: who weren't there (not born yet?) and didn't experience the phenomena first hand, are buying 3DFX cards because others talk about how cool it was, and are driving the prices to ludicrous range for the rest of us. I noticed this was …

I RUN ANY 2000S GAMES THAT I LIKE I am happy for you that you do, unfortunately this information does not help answer you question . The Voodoo 5 5500 was released in 2000 . Assuming that by 2000s you mean from 2000 to 2009, it is not unexpected that games from the later part of that period would …

That reminds me of the time I submitted a bug report to MS. It has to do with how the folder links for documents, download, etc. If you change them and then make a new subfolder and change them to that and then change them to somewhere else, Windows will not let you delete those folders you made …

Re: problem motherboard

Posted on 2021-06-06, 21:22

That 35€ PSU seems better that what I expected it to be and may actually be reasonable for that price as long as you don't expect it to actually deliver 500W with voltages and ripple staying within ATX spec . That being said, it does not mean the OP's unit is working as it should. Testing with known …
