The first two cards (of which the Rage Pro Turbo is best) support the proprietary ATI CIF acceleration API which existed prior to everybody standardizing on OpenGL and Direct3D. The Rage 128 is a later generation card which supports Direct3D at roughly the level of Nvidia TNT cards, but without the …

Hmm, I was probably thinking of USB adapters which can sometimes be underpowered for more... robust keyboards.

Yeah, for Win98, I don't see any reason to not pour on as much performance as you can.

Depends on the title. For Mech2, I suspect a PMMX 233 will run fine.

He somehow thinks that Voodoo 6k cards have performance which can only be unlocked by playdough and Peltier action. Read this with appropriately somber or comedic music. http://www.xtremehardware.com/forum/showthrea … 4b3c85ba24eff47

Hayes wasn't even much of a concern when 56k came out in ISA cards. It was either USR or Rockwell.

No signal conversion as long as the keyboard isn't pulling a significant amount of current (as Model M keyboards sometimes do).

Plainly GPU limited in all these cases. Any compatibility issues to relate?

SDK version, PS/VS/unified shader version requirements, hardware specific features (I'm looking at you, Splinter Cell). These can all play a big role in game compatibility.

The build for PowerSGL is the best accelerated version, bar none. Do you have a Win98 machine which could be upgraded?

I run mine on a KT133 board with an Athlon T-Bird 1200 with a Radeon 8500 LE card. It runs Mech2 like a beast. CPU too fast? No such thing, buddy!

You can use tools to mount FTP and WebDAV storage volumes in Win98.

If you can, I recommend building a DOS gaming machine (using SS7 or C3) and a fast Win98 system using P4, Athlon, or Athlon64. You can get some overlap using a SS7 or C3 machine, but a no limit Win98 machine is superb for all pre XP Windows titles and well beyond the performance of more throttleable …
