A Tandy PC is always nice to have for those 80s games.
Re: Weird VOODOO 1 issue with DOOM 1.

It clicks because of the mechanical relay. You likely have a Righteous3D voodoo. As to to why it happens with Doom...that's weird as hell. Maybe something is left over in the protected mode environment that DOOM triggers again. What happens if you play a real-mode game after Descent?

Started playing Need For Speed Underground for the first time since 2003. Remains one of my favorite games...the music plus immersion of night driving makes it fantastic IMO. Add on a decent force feedback wheel (which I didn't have at the time) and max out the settings with a slightly modern GPU …

The agp slot is much further back for the v5 so it has far more middle support.

GeForce FX5900Ultra is the best non-Glide GPU for Win98, and it runs things like nGlide just fine as well. However it is limited to pre-DX9 games, but DX9 is more of a WinXP thing anyway.

Athlon 64 and socket 754 are a great match for windows 98. Thanks. A lot of people is discouraging me on the P4 and the socket 478 route because they say that the P4 runs too hot and it's unstable and should be avoided.

Finished Beyond Good & Evil. The end boss finale was total bullshit. Man, I remember how much that annoyed me. It's the one where the controls invert on you right? Always rubbed me the wrong way that the game never gave you a lower stakes situation to practice/even know that would be a thing. Yes, …

HI Falconsoft, not sure if this has been reported before, but playing a midi track for many hours will eventually crash the X-Fi and/or computer with Win7. Not sure if a crash in the VSTI plugin or Midi Player.
