There is never objective value of something. It is all supply and demand and what people are willing to pay for something that decides a value of something and that changes over time. If the people who try to sell something for higher price than before find buyers then objectively its value goes up …

"Batman" and "Batman's Revenge" are more like codenames for each revision, the actual name for the board is "Premiere/PCI" or something like that, much like the "Advanced/ZP" is also known by its codename "Zappa". Intel's naming scheme has always been strange. yeah, but we still don't know how they …

I often run multiple MIDI modules in parallel to give the instruments more depth, but that usually only works with GM, as tracks made for MT-32 will not play correctly on a GM module and vice-versa and while some GS/GM modules have a MT-32 mode it never sounds as good as a real MT-32 tbh, but no …

Geforce 4, Radeon 9700 even a geforce 2 is faster than a V5 6000, there's no reason to get one apart from a collectable standpoint and historical reasons :p and simple answer is, you can't. it's a highly collectible card that was never released retail and trades for immense sums, you can get a …
