Re: PCI vs Older AGP

Thanks for the info. But let me ask the question again but never mind the fact that I am wanting to build a 1998 era computer and all that. Just in general, if you were to take an AGP card, lets just say for example a Rage Pro. Then a PCI (first gen) card, like maybe an All In Wonder 128, which has …
PCI vs Older AGP
Posted on 2017-04-22, 18:24
Ok guys and gals, I hope you can help me out here. I just bought a motherboard for a 1998 era build on a whim from ebay. A few hours after purchasing it I got to looking and realized it did not have an AGP slot! It is a P2B98-XV board. It had already been shipped so I could not cancel. I was hoping …

For those of you that have Voodoo1 do you see horizontal kind of wavy lines when you play your glide games? I just got mine installed and have noticed this.

Back in the day (late 90s) I used my Voodoo 2 with a Matrox Mystique 220 for a while (was great for DOS/2D stuff) but soon after I got a Slot 1 motherboard and inexplicably decided to ditch the Mystique and use the integrated graphics, the wretched SiS 6326 (I clearly didn't know what I was doing). …

How would you like to use the system WITHOUT the voodoo, ask yourself that question and base your choice on that. Just see the voodoo as a very nice bonus so the system can play glide games as well... Good point. Mostly mid 90s Dos games up to 1997 would be this builds purpose. I notice you are …
Voodoo 2D Companion Card Prefrences
Posted on 2017-04-18, 11:48
Hello all! I am finally jumping into the Voodoo game and was curious what everyone uses as their 2D card along side their Voodoo 1 or 2 setup? I've heard a lot of talk of using a Matrox Millennium 2 or a Diamond Stealth v330. I have dug an old Cirrus Logic GD5446 card out of my box of parts that I …
Re: Best Sound Cards each year of the 90's

My most memorable year of PC Gaming is 1997. I was obsessed with Blood, GTA, and Final Fantasy 7. Also, like most, games from previous years such as Duke3D, Tomb Raider, and the Doom and Doom engine games (Hexen, Heretic etc.). As far as sound goes, back then I wasn't too concerned. Basically …

James-F. Thanks for the info! However, I did come across that post a while back. I guess I should have been more specific though. I was hoping for an extension of that timeline you linked to. Something that would go from 1993-whichever the latest or last year they had cards in production.
Re: Best Sound Cards each year of the 90's

Kind of a side question to the discussion. When it comes to Sound Blaster cards I've had a hard time finding any sort of a release date timeline for each of their cards. Does anyone have some sort of a list of each model and when it was publicly released? Also, when it comes to the SB Live! series. …

Wow, lots of good info here that is definitely gonna be useful. Let me just ask the question this way instead though. If you were to choose or have chose your favorite era specific card for each of the years 1993-99 what would it be in your opinion? If the response is decent I think it would be fun …

How about 97-99? Do you have any recommendations for those years as well?
Best Sound Cards each year of the 90's
Posted on 2017-04-16, 03:28
I am trying to figure out which sound card was the best to get each year from 1993-1999? I am attempting to build the best the industry had to offer each of those years. I know the AWE64 Gold came out in late 1996. So to many would this be considered the best that there was as long as you had an ISA …

Any updates to the database on here? Still hoping for a good list of 2d only video cards.

1993-1999 Best Pc build of each year.

I have set out to build the best possible Intel based computer for each year spanning 1993-1999. However I was hoping to get a little input from the community on the parts to use? I don't know enough about pre-1996 video to determine the appropriate cards to use. Here is what I have come up with so …
Re: DOS 6.22/ Win 98SE Dual Boot

I guess I want the "pure" DOS version instead of the one that works in conjunction with Windows. But at the same time would like the option to play some games on windows with the same machine.

I read over your blog post'. Would you happen to have a step by step guide for this without all the explanations and all, which you did a great job of by the way? I think that type of tutorial would be beneficial to a lot of people looking to do this!
DOS 6.22/ Win 98SE Dual Boot
Posted on 2017-01-21, 04:44
As the title says. How can this be done where DOS uses its 8gb of space and then Win98se uses all the rest of the hard drive in FAT32?

Cool thanks. Are there drivers available for a Windows 98se build for the same card then if I were to go that route?
