Oh yeah, Titanium HD has no winXP drivers, totally forgot this. But the regular Titanium does. More importantly, Auzen X-Fi Forte and Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD are probably the best, you get Titanium HD-competitive sound quality, you get 7.1 surround (Titanium HD is stereo only) and you get winXP …

Guys, Xtreme Audio, Xtreme Music, Xtreme Gamer, those are PCI cards, he's asking for PCI-E because his motherboard lacks PCI

Just to add for sound card, definitely X-Fi for XP, they are the best, but not just any as most of them are PCI. For a PCI-E X-Fi, the options would be Creative X-Fi Titanium (and Titanium HD), Auzentech X-Fi Forte or HomeTheather HD (my favorite, I have two) or Onkyo Wavio SE-300PCIE (very rare and …

My advice is to try to not use ebay at all and rely on local used parts site/market, its much more likely to find decent stuff at low prices, you just might have to be more patient and wait longer while checking every day. Also check for FX 5900XT, it can still be found cheap with some luck, and its …

^ GTX 285 / HD 4890 and older cards run DX9 more efficiently, and might have better game compatibility, tho I've yet to find any winXP-era game that doesnt work fine on my GTX 780, so this is just theoretical

yeah, thats what Im worrying about, thats why Im currently testing with a 7900gs with very old drivers to see if I can spot any winXP game compatibility difference to my gtx780 with last XP drivers. But theres so many games to test it will take a while to go trough all of them. BTW 16-bit and DX7 …

Having max. power for playing old games is dumb though. At that point you are FAR better off with two GPUs (and switching between them depending on game you want play). What do you mean, what's the problem in using Titan X for winXP gaming? Why bother swapping another GPU? Did you find any …

Well, Vista came out 2007. In 2006 you did have C2D E6300, E6400, E6600, E6700 and C2E X6800. You also had socket AM2 athlon 64 X2 up to 5000+ as well as Athlon 64 X2 FX-62. You also had nvidia 7900 GTX and ati X1900 XTX, with X1950 XTX being a little late so you could count that one towards 2007, …

in fact I wonder if a Core 2 Quad is a good idea for gaming over Core 2 Duo. Core 2 Quad has two Core 2 Duo dies on one PCB under the lid, its not a single monolithic chip. And I'm sure theres at least some lattency in communications between the two dualcore dies, kinda like Ryzen has today. This …

My main PC is on Z77 with 3770K and GTX 780 and an X-Fi, dualbooting XP and 7. I also have a test machine with a core 2 duo with 1 core disabled and a 7900 GS and audigy, dualbooting 98se and XP. I'm using it to test how the high performance 7900gs compares for 98se vs my voodoo3 PC, but also trying …

Interesting, gotta try this out, not too long ago I bought a cheap 2 ZS, only to find out its HP OEM so couldnt make it work properly on 98se. I've put it up for sale, to use the money to this time get a proper retail model, but if I can get it to work with this that would be nice. BTW I have a …

Why are they dying so much? I have a Quadro equivalent of the Ti4600, with the small stock heatsink, and it doesnt seem to run particularly hot under load, so its not because of heat issues, is it?

I see, theres a few... but overall, not too many. I will try to get these working to see whats the deal with them.

-8 bit palletized textures - afaik only like 2-3 games are affected by that, and said games are probably better on console anyways? -table fog - I couldnt find a list of games with that. I did learn tho, that the older radeons like 8500 can enable table fog support with a registry tweak of some …
