I have two Diamond Monster 2's in SLI plugged into my Asus P2B with a Pentium II 450mhz CPU. I am using the Diamond Monster 2 drivers that came on the cd included in the box with the cards. Each card is a 12MB card. When I go to my setting, after right-clicking on the desktop and going to the …

One of the best references is from Creative themselves. http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=10846 I've looked into that list before. It does have the models listed but it does not give any specific information about any of them like release dates and what differences they have …

Ok, I know this has been asked here a few times but looking back there hasn't really been any definitive answers (at least that I can find). For whatever reason it seems to be near impossible to find a clean cut list of all the different models, variations and release dates of the Sound Blaster Live …

Just curious if anyone here knows what the correct specifications are when using a SD Card adapter on an old machine? The kind where you have to manually input the cylinders, heads, sectors, size etc. in the bios.

Well I have my two Diamond 12mbs installed (Rev E and Rev B) with the Diamond Voodoo 2 driver installed. Everything seems to be working fine as far as I can tell. Are there any good test programs or anything that I can run to be for sure that everything is setup and working correctly though?

I think an ISA card would definitely be the ideal solution for all the late 90's builds. The fact is that AWE64 cards, just for example, are getting to be too expensive to buy. So was wondering what my alternatives may be. And I have a pile of SBLive cards lol. I am going to rephrase my question. …

I am hoping this will work but wanted to make sure. I just acquired two Voodoo 2 cards off Ebay but just noticed that one is a Rev. B and the other a Rev E. Is this going to give me issues when using them in SLI?

Great case but it's a bit too expensive for my taste. Nearly $100 after shipping. Thanks for info though and I like your ideas!

Thanks for all the good info guys! From what I've gathered getting these boards and especially with a 66 pentium may just be better left to chance unless your wallet is thick. I will just keep my eye out in the wild unless a good deal comes along otherwise.
