Anyone have a clue on where I could get a good AT case or old ATX case without paying 100+?
Early 2000s Windows XP build?
Posted on 2019-04-15, 02:02
Thinking about building up a Windows XP for mainly 2001/2002/2003 games. I don't plan on going any further than that but what's everyone's suggestions for that? For me I've been considering these hardware pieces: Graphics Card - Geforce3 TI 200 AGP/Geforce4 Processor - Pentium 4 Hard Drive - SATA …

Can I use a modern power supply or get an AT power supply with an ATX adapter?
High pitched screech when turning on PC?
Posted on 2019-03-19, 21:36
On my windows 98 if I turn it on after a few days of not using it, it makes a horribly loud screech or whatever that is. I think it might be from the power supply but I don't know where else. Why does it do this? Also sometimes if I reset the PC it may not even get to the BIOS!

I use a NVIDIA Geforce 3 Ti 200 AGP for my 933 MHZ P3 slot 1 build.
Re: Deus Ex Win98 in D3D, low performance

Deus Ex uses the Unreal Engine that was used in Unreal and Unreal Tournament. To be frank I have no idea why Unreal Engine games don't work very well with Direct3D/DirectX.
3DFX cards - too expensive
Posted on 2018-12-01, 23:26
I'd like to get a Voodoo card (Preferably either 4 or 5) but most of the sales on eBay or other sites break the bank. I'd like to have Glide on my Windows 98 SE with Geforce 3 TI 200 but I need a Voodoo card for that and a passthrough cable. Is there anywhere where I could get a Voodoo 4 or 5 …

It doesn't show up in there. I really prefer not having to restart the computer every time I exit that program.
DirectX programs

When exiting out of Math Blaster 9-12, DirectX games can't be played. I either get stop errors (BSODs) or those "program has encountered an illegal operation..." messages. Turning off acceleration for directsound causes syncing problems. If you turn the directsound hardware accel back on after …
CT4520 vs. AWE32?
Posted on 2018-11-05, 21:00
I need to upgrade my sound blaster 16 CT4170 card as I can't get 16-Bit DMA working on it, and I was wondering if a CT4520 (AWE64 value) is better than a AWE32. Checking the prices on eBay it's breaking the bank if I go with the AWE32 cards. So should I pay premium or just go with a CT4520?
Re: VXD VMM (01) Stop Error

So best advice is to look into a PCI sound card to work alongside with the ISA card? I tried a SB Live but it was a dell OEM one. If so I'll look into a Aureal Vortex 2 or something - but I want to use both sound cards if that's the case.

Re: Geforce 3 TI200 + Pentium III 933MHZ
Posted on 2018-08-07, 17:39
I don't plan on going for a pentium 4 so should I downgrade the graphics card to have something that keeps a consistent framerate? Or am I completely delusion and that I should just bump it to a TI 500?
Geforce 3 TI200 + Pentium III 933MHZ
Posted on 2018-08-07, 17:27
Am I getting bottlenecked real bad with this graphics card on my 98 SE PC? Playing Unreal Tournament and Simcoaster seems to have framerate drops, not sure if it's because the graphics card is overpowering the PC or not. If so should I go with a Geforce 256 or Geforce 2 (Voodoo cards are way too …
Re: New Slot 1 CPU no display!
Posted on 2018-06-19, 19:41
What happens if you leave it at 100Mhz FSB and them put the 1GHz CPU in there? Have you tried resetting the CMOS via the jumper on the motherboard? Tried both of those methods earlier yesterday and they didn't work. I think I'm just gonna have to suck it up and stick with 800MHZ for now, or just do …

I already updated the BIOS to that version and cleaned the contacts.

Didn't work. Going to return it. I'll try another one before ruling out the CPUs. Shame too I'm getting a bottleneck with Unreal Tournament on my Geforce3 TI 200 and my Pentium III 800MHZ 100(FSB) MHZ processor might be the criminal here. Also I forgot to mention - if I set the FSB MHZ to 133 on my …

Looks like that but I swapped the heatsink with my other one and it went down all the way no matter what. I even tried it without a heatsink on and it still didn't show the BIOS or anything! It powered up but that was it. Drives were working. I think it's a dead CPU. I'll have to return it. Also …

Motherboard is ABIT VT6X4, and I flashed the BIOS to the 2/14/2001 release. I'm trying to use a 1000MHZ 133MHZ (FSB) slot 1 processor. I'm aware the voltage is 1.7V, and I've done basically everything I can think of - I can't find any newer versions of the BIOS, and I've tried reusing the old 800MHZ …
Re: Booting two Windows 98 SE hard drives?
Posted on 2018-05-27, 01:08
That's very convincing. I'll look into it - though I'd have to get a 5.25 bracket for that since my case is kinda funny with the 3.5 drives. The hard drives go in the same area where the 3.5 floppy drive is.
