What would happen if I plugged a 486 SBC into a Socket 7 or Slot 2 motherboard? The RAM, CPU, BIOS and Controller would all be on the SBC. Could I use this to make an ATX or uATX 486? in my opinion you could follow a path that i have been thinking about for some time, since I am also passionate …

yes, but I can't understand where the meeting point between P1 + 3D card and P3 + 2D card is. Unfortunately I don't have a voodoo2 and I can't compare them. I have only your advice to know what is best for example, Screamer2 is fast on a P200+voodoo2 or P3 850?

I have a very nice Sony Multiscan 200PS, the previous owner wiping it with too much energy has taken away part of the anti-reflective film in the center. How do I now remove it all to make the screen uniform? I don't have strong direct lights so I don't think I have a problem using it without film. …

That's what I meant, my other system with P233MMX obviously the power of the cpu would allow you to play 3D games ONLY in the presence of a 3D card. The question is whether a much more powerful cpu could make up for it, perhaps choosing lower resolutions.

That'll depend on what games Assuming you mean a C&T 69000, and if it is it's 2MB? Dos games should be fine https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=66714 2D windows games will also be fine, although the 2MB will limit what resolutions you can run Basically if you want 16 bit High colour you can go …

i not like midi, i prefer other type of sound if available. I not need a "all around card" for dos i already have sbpro2, sb2, sb16. I only need (if i understand correctly) and ISA card with wss support... so which model you suggest? the one with winXP driver and good sound quality. tnks

[...] but the difference in cost between the two cards is enormous ... YMF719 more expensive? There's one on eBay for EUR 13.49 Buy It Now... Apart from that, any other card that supports WSS (and so 48kHz) should be fine too. There are lots of options, which is best depends on exactly what you …

SB Live,Audigy, and even X-Fi cards are very inexpensive. If you are using a Pentium 3, having hardware accelerated audio could give you improved performance in games. That's not even including the higher quality audio you'll get. Yes, a SB16 should work, but there are many other options that can …
