That's great. Has anyone flashed or modified a Quadro into a GeForce?

I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but with the Quadro2 Pro, doesn't it share the board layout with the GeForce2 Ultra, yet is clocked a little bit lower? And the GeForce2 that has the same clocks as the Quadro2 Pro, comes with a lesser board layout?

I need a reason to visit Europe again! But be warned. I will come with 2 empty XXL suitcases and extra baggage allowance 🤣

And here is my review on using an SD card to IDE adapter as hard drive substitute in older computers. I would happily recommend them in machines up to a Pentium III. SD memory card to IDE adapter review

Welcome to VOGONS :blush: This is what I would do. Remove the second RAM stick, remove the hard drive, the floppy, the optical drive, the sound card. Basically just the motherboard, processor, 1 RAM stick in the slot closest to the socket and the graphics card. If you have an Intel processor, I …

Got this off eBay last year and it arrived today :) http://i.imgur.com/jNQXAc6l.jpg This is fairly new gear, but I have nothing that is SLI compatible. My only SLI experience is with 3dfx Voodoo 2 cards. Let me tell you, I never had such a high end board. I always go for very basic and cheap uATX …

If you're still looking for a Socket 478 cooler, Phil, see if you can get hold of a Scythe Shuriken RevB. I have one on my Northwood 3.2 and it cools exceptionally well, but it did take a while to find a second-hand one with the suitable S478 mounting hardware. Ah, yes, I remember that model. …

Many DOS games have Mono music only. You got to try later games, such as Spakce Quest V for example. That one has quite nice Stereo FM music.

Re: Which Sound Blaster drivers can I comment out?

Every card is a compromise :) While I didn't have any issues with the Audician, I don't think it is 100% compatible. There is always that 1% chance of having an issue with some games. The newer cards like AWE64 or Vibra are good options IMO, but they don't have the wavetable header. Using an …

The Audician 32 Plus, a Yamaha chip based ISA sound card, works really well with the S1 and X2 DreamBlaster 😀

If I remember correctly, these chipsets always work better with just 2 sticks. I'm not sure if you can get 2 GB sticks of DDR memory though. I like to use such machines with two 1 GB sticks and Windows XP.

AFAIK this is standard behaviour for SB Pro 2. That's why many games have the "swap Stereo" option. Easiest would be to just swap the leads around, which can be easy with a mixer, but more annoying if you just plug in speakers directly.
