I hope by the time I get my first salary two weeks from now, these won't be completely sold out
Re: Ultimate 2004 PC Pentium M Build (Doneish)

"Ultimate 2004 PC" - I believe the CT-479 adapter came out in 2005, so you couldn't have built a CT-479 based rig in 04. Also not sure if it would have been quite ultimate in 2005 either, it would have had to face off against the athlon 64 fx-57, which, while having similar ipc to the pentium M, is …
Re: Looking for Terratec DMX drivers

driver conflicts, certainly, if its the same OS, but my approach is to multiboot several copies of windows, and in each of them to have only one card enabled in device manager, and only drivers for that card installed, with the other cards disabled... seems to be a good way to avoid the resource and …
Re: Looking for Terratec DMX drivers

Got the card to work, and, from a quick test I can see its a nice card, has clean sound quality, lots of driver options, sound blaster emulation for dos and wavetable connector, 4-speaker surround and Sensaura 3D support for windows, overall quite pleased with it... I think in my 1999 build I will …

Thank you. I didn't know of this site, wasn't showing up in google search results either. I will test it in a bit
Looking for Terratec DMX drivers
Posted on 2021-03-27, 12:38
Hello, today I bought this card, the Terratec DMX Advanced Audio Accelerator, to add it to my collection. It appears to be from 1999. Has the ESS Canyon3D ES1970M-3D chipset. https://i.imgur.com/GrU1JO2.jpg I am having surprisingly lots of trouble finding any drivers for it to test it. Looks like …

Of course, having a platform bottleneck is a good way to find out how they compare, but then for actual use in a 2001 build with a 2001 card, if the bottleneck is on the gpu side and all 3 perform the same, all Im saying the ultimate board to use may not necessarily be the fastest board, but the one …

Well, isn't that a good thing? If with a GF3 Ti500 all 3 boards perform identically, then it doesn't matter which board is fastest and you would rather pick the one with the nicest features 😀 That would likely be the KT7A because it has ISA

Re: Windows XP/Windows 7/Windows 10 - TRIPLE BOOT - Is It Possible?
Posted on 2021-02-27, 14:58
Just install XP first, then 7, and then 10, and it should just work. I did exactly that, i7-3770K on gigabyte z77x-up7 with gtx 980 and auzentech x-fi hthd soundcard, XP on wd velociraptor 10000rpm hdd, win7 on samsung 850 pro, win10 on samsung 860 pro, and a few 2tb 7200rpm toshibas for storage. …

I don't like overclocking graphics cards, especially rare and expensive ones like these, they die enough already when ran at stock
Re: looking for x1300 win 9x/ME driver

7000 series work with driver 82.69 but that driver is quite bad, I tried it out for myself with a 7900 GS and game compatibility was quite poor, I would not recommend it. 7800 GS AGP seems to work with 77.72, you can try looking for that. But I think 6800 Ultra and ATi X850XT are faster than 7800 GS …

Posted on 2021-02-20, 02:21
It is also unlikely that this will happen in the future as the x1000 series would not bring much to the Windows 9x table as those games that can only run under Windows 9x do fine with cards with existing Windows 9x drivers and those that games that require more graphics power also support XP or …

oh, this is kinda bad, I had stashed away some money to try to obtain one of these as I really want one, but now that prices are announced, I can see it's nowhere near enough... and me being currently unemployed means I will need to find a good job within a month so that I'll get 1st salary in time …

Re: Do you keep your retro rigs offline?
Posted on 2021-01-28, 18:13
All my retro rigs are connected, I don't really do any browsing but I do play online multiplayer on retro games, and also it's convenient to share game disc images over the network. I'm not worried about security - what will hackers even gain from attacking, steal my half-life savegames? Not like I …
Re: Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed low res textures
Posted on 2021-01-27, 21:45
Are you even sure you are getting the problem, because even when it works fine, the textures are rather low rez and blurry, don't expect sharp high res textures in this game. When it does develop the problem, they can get even lower rez and even blurrier. The game is not picky for OS and should work …
