Re: Windows 95/DOS graphics card: on the cheap?

Posted on 2017-04-03, 00:19

You could scan for "PCI VGA" on ebay and hope to get lucky with a Voodoo that the seller doesn't realize sells for more than they are getting rid of it for. I got my ARK2000PV this way. I think I paid around $12 for it. Granted, it's a longshot, but just takes a bit of your time each day while you …

I think a P120 is too slow for any 3D accelerated gaming. What you have now is great for most DOS games though! Another option that is easier to find is a Voodoo3 2000 PCI. That's a better DOS card than the Mach64 and it will be at least as good as a Voodoo in Win9x, maybe cheaper and easier to find …

You recently linked me to that speed testing program for use with DOS emulators and that's going to be an invaluable tool going forward... though using it still confirmed I wasn't bonkers about the spawn rates in Lands of Lore. There's also this: http://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/List_of_CPU_ …

I got back from the awe64gold to the audician32plus. I think I need an upgrade for the midi part. what should I buy? The S2 is a very good value while the X2 has a higher quality sound for about double the price. Listen to both on Phil's YouTube channel and decide if the X2 sounds enough better to …

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition It's now been seven weeks since my guardian Gorion was murdered. In that time, I've barely had time to grieve, but I have met up with so many interesting (sometimes quite dangerous!) people, including my current party, that I've not had much time for grief. Imoen, …

Some more fun easter eggs in that video: -PCI slots look too long. Maybe 64bit PCI? -8 memory slots with what look like DDR (I don't remember RAM sinks being around prior to DDR1) -Slot CPU with some interesting socket heatsinks on either side -single ISA slot for DOS compatibility 😉

Morality seems to decline more with each passing generation. I see it and fight it each day with the influences on my son in school and social media (that I never had to face at that age). Some days it feels like a losing battle. I say all that in response to The man needs to learn to grow up, …

Thanks for recording it, keropi. Yep, that's how I remember it sounding. 😀 There's missing instruments on the S2 (that you can hear in the SC-55 version) that help the bass line stand out more, which I think is what I liked about it. Made it sound kind of like a Rush song.
