if I were to want one or a few of these things, is there any practice use for the isa cards besides those 10 games, which I may or may not want to play.

people complain about stuff as long as they think it helps them, and if something doesn't effect them they are silent regardless of how it effects others, becasue it makes their life easy. It's the woke mindset.

It's not as simple of just removing IE. Windows explorer still uses IE even if you remove it. You have to shell swap to the 95 interface. Which requires OS modification and files from 95 to do. lol 98 always runs with unlimited security privileges and can never be secured. At least XP can be locked …

my Toshiba 815em with XG works perfectly in every game I tried it on. It doesn't have sb-link, pretty sure DDMA is working though or the XG driver is magic.

It defeats the point of it being a laptop imo. wonder if voodoo2 SLI would work on a laptop with one though. 🤣

sounds interesting. The Toshiba I got with the 754 worked with some Toshiba VXD drivers from another model I found but, I wouldn't mind having a look at that driver pack you found. Might have better drivers than the ones I got. Supposidly there is some gateway solo laptop with a geforce 2 go and …

XP was microsofts last good OS. There was endless bellyaching at the time about how the UI looked like a cartoon and how the Themes service was an enormous waste of resources – and of course about how it wasn't as fast as Win9x, or as compatible with old games and applications. And it seems a lot …

XP was microsofts last good OS. Apple II wasn't as much of a success as the commodore pick your model. I think that its a forced meme. There were a lot of computers in the mid 80s and early 90 which is the beginning of the golden era. I think 1977 is really too early. Ya you can buy a computer then …

all of them except the realtek, toss teh realtek and test the rest to see which ones work. The top right one is the fastest 3com card. the top left one has a Boot Lom. Don't know anything about the top middle one, I'm guessing thats after the broadcom take over and its manufactured on a smaller nm …
