When you look at the data specifications on wiki, the GF4 MX460 has less MOperations/s, MPixels/s and MTextels/s than the GF2 GTS. But you have to consider that the memory bandwidth of the MX460 (with 8.8 Gb/s) is 65% higher than the GTS (5.3 Gb/s).

This is the reason why i prefer a PIII myself for a CPU with a speed compareable to your selected CPU's. The Athlon 900 is listed with 60W TDP (with Pluto/Orion core) or with 50W TDP (with Thunderbird core). The Duron 1200 (Morgan core) has 55W TDP. For example the PIII 866 (~23W TDP), i've tested …

Here are benchmarks, where you have example values for Duron 1300, Duron 900, Athlon "B" 1000 and Athlon "B" 800. (http://www.tomshardware.de/benchmark-marathon-65-cpus-von-100-mhz-bis-3066-mhz,testberichte-550-25.html) For example, when you take 3D Mark 2001 SE, and you assume that it scales ~ …

Ok,that means with CT2505 and CT2511, you mean the creative models CT4170 and CT4180. They have the Vibra 16C and 16VX chip. They're made in 1997, like the AWE64, that is traceable to have the 4.16 on these cards. Nevertheless, the most SB16 cards, mainly from 1993 to 1996 are with DSP's 4.11-4.13. …

The fully integrated Vibra cards also usually have DSP 4.16. Do you have a source where's your statement is described/ referenced? Well, i've found this on a german retro homepage (http://www.amoretro.de/guides-workshops/creative-labs-sound-blaster-modellnummern), who test's also a lot and sell's …

Ok, alright! When i wanna have less problems then i should go better with ISA as i understand. I have one further question. Considering the different soundblaster generations, not every is MIDI MPU-401 (UART) compatible, right? On wiki it's mentioned that this function comes first with soundblaster …

I have an old PCI soundcard, it's a Creative Soundblaster PCI128 (CT4700). According to my research in Internet, it shall comes with the Ensoniq ES1370 chip. Well, previously i've planned to use this card on a Win95/DOS7.0 Retro PC, which has 1AGP slots, 4 PCI slots and 3 ISA slots. Several day's …

I think the Coppermine becomes slower with the caches disabled compared to the s7 stuff (especially Pentium 1) as Intel probably made changes to that CPU so it would clock higher (that was a big selling point in those days) and they might've optimized it more to make it also perform good... ..., …

I've planned to build a Retro PC over a half year ago. I wanted to re-activate my old dual-celeron system (2x466MHz) on the famous Abit BP6 board. I used this system around 1999 to 2002. The former Voodoo3-2000 and the Geforce256 DDR, which were the GPU cards for this system, doesn't exists anymore …

Regarding the situation that the AMD K6-2 interprets the multiplier 2x with 6x, and with the setting '1.5x/3.5x', the post-screen will show anyway the clock with '3.5x * selected FSB': It is possible to install a pentium 150MHz (P54CS) (original clock: 2.5x * 60MHz FSB) in my super-socket 7 board? …

According to your settings, i've tested a second time with all possible multiplier settings at my VIA Apollo MVP3 board: With multiplier high to low: 68.5Mhz(FSB) * 5.5 (multiplier setting acc. to PBC) = 377Mhz 68.5Mhz * 5.0 = 343Mhz 68.5Mhz * 4.5 = 308Mhz 68.5Mhz * 4.0 = 274Mhz 68.5Mhz * 3.0 = …

Hello, Last days, i have seen also the video about a "time-maschine - 4 in 1: 386, 486. Pentium & Full Speed" (from Phil's Computerlab) on youtube. This was a interesting projekt, so i also want to build something similar. This weekend, i have got a Super-Socket 7 board now, combined with a AMD K6-2 …
