For anybody curious about the capabilities of the cheap CM6206 based devices used for S/PDIF input in this project, I ran some tests using RMAA under Windows 10 . First test is using a Roland UA4FX looped into a CM6206 based USB device using S/PDIF at 44.1KHz Second test is using a CM6206 looped …

Try these , I just set up NT4 on a Pentium Pro with a Live! Value (CT4830). I also further installed the latest update that can be found on Creative's website (sblwntup.exe). Works really great for me at the moment, the only issue I encountered was a conflict that was solved by switching PCI slots …

There are only very few sound cards that need -5v . See ISA Cards & Devices Requiring -5V . If you are planning on using one of those, -5v is essential . Otherwise, it is unnecessary .

Is it causing you any problems? I bought a P3B-F last year, paired it with a 1GHZ Pentium 3, and ran into some unexpected issues. Every time I tried to use a CD drive the system crashed! There were other symptoms but this was the most obvious. Turned out my 700W relatively modern 80+ gold PSU had …

If your intent is also to do DOS gaming on this build, keep in mind that neither the AWE64 nor the Audigy 2 have an actual OPL3 FM synthesizer chip on board. The AWE64 has a Creative-produced clone chip that doesn't exactly sound the same. For newer DOS games that support General MIDI, this might …

A cheap SIL3114 based PCI controller card would work with any modern SATA SSD or HDD .

Oh that’s a bummer. Guess they’re both the same then. Which ever is cheaper i will go for it? The RM psu costs a lot more for some reason. And is 25Amps enough for 2 Tualatins? Where are you located and what prices are you seeing for the RM850x vs TX850M ? £140 for the RM PSU and £90 for the TX850. …

Looked into it and the TX850M looks like the clear winner. Giving 50Amps on the 5volt rail where as the other Corsair PSU you mentioned only gives 25Amps on the 5 Volt Rail. The Magna that i baught sucks. Isn’t providing enough power to the GPU. How can you have 50A on the 5v rail, which would mean …
