If you bought a bunch of them you are very lucky indeed.

Won't you need something besides the GUS as it doesn't handle adlib or soundblaster sound?

I always associated Vista with the first generation of PCs where widescreen LCDs were standard. But whatever...nice troll anyhow!

Heh...that was my first retro computer (as in since I started collecting in 2010 or so). I actually really liked the SFF case, it has room for 2 full-height PCI cards through a riser, AGP and one half height PCI slot. Looks kindof cool. I currently have win2k on it with a Hercules Game Theatre XP …
Re: PC/PCI or SB-LINK cable. How to make?

No you just need a 3x2 straight through ribbon cable. They will most certainly not be called SBLINK or PC/PCI cables...that is long, long dead technology those only weirdos like us know about.

ESS audiodrive - cheap and good. Just because inside Windows doesn't mean ISA not useful. And you would be missing out on games like duke3d!

Nice rig. I also use those cheap fan brackets...the thing that annoyed me was they take up 2 pci slots, while not actually screwing into both for support. $3 from China, what to expect. I also had a LG flatron back in the day. Are you planning on putting an ISA sound card in there?

Try swapping the PSU.

If you can do so affordably, yes. They are great cards, if not the best for retro gaming.

Do you work for a game publisher and are secretly planning on making this into a real game? That would be freaking awesome 😁

Bandwidth affects loading times not frame rates in general. Once textures are loaded that's it.

Some EPOX with a sblink header, 2 isa slots, agp, agp, ss7. Not sure it's my favorite but it's what I currently have on the bench.

But strictly with C, I am also assuming that any calculation (and I view C as a set of calculations requested by a user) would be performed with the FPU. Err...no, that's not how CPUs work. The FPU stands for floating-point unit, which performs calculations on numbers with something after the …
