Hi there! Some weeks ago I told you about my 3dfx Voodoo2 SLI project, perhaps some of you remember. Now I have that system but I wanted to try to put a Tualatin on that system. I read around on internet (and here too) that someone tried with successfull to put a Tualatin on Intel BX boards, and …

Re: Ultima IX issue - Lag on loading books
Posted on 2021-04-13, 15:06
I've had this exact issue on countless systems when trying to run Ultima IX. I'm afraid there ain't much of a solution, it seems to be tied to the Direct3D renderer. Perhaps you could try a Glide Wrapper such as the original dgVoodoo, I remember the problem going away when using a 3dfx card. Oh yes …

No, it doesn't work, I tried everything but the lag remains. I don't know what to do, lag on a Athlon XP-M 1GB RAM and a 9800PRO is just absolutely unacceptable.

It's been a long time since I played so my memory is foggy, but I think the same thing used to happen on my P2. It might have happened to everybody. I wonder if playing from a ramdisk or ssd would fix it. Just after a long search, I found an amatorial program called "Ultima IX extended setup …

Years and years later, I am playing another time at this big big game. I have the same issue. Lag when open books. I installed the game, I installed the patch 1.05, then 1.18f, then the 1.19f and the 1.19h. Then the italian translation patch for the dialogues. How can I solve this issue?

Thanks a lot for the advice. So it's better to switch to TWO modules of 64MB and a total amount of 128MB? Yes, 2 x 64MB will be fine. Note that dual channel wasn't a thing back then, so don't expect a performance boost from using two sticks. I think I will do that, so I think that in Windows 98SE …

I added some more RAM (this board has PC100 RAM, three slots) because only 64MB of RAM wasn't so good for me. So I add a 128MB module and a 64MB module, to obtain regularly 256MB of PC100 RAM. Be careful with that, as your system might not be able to cache all that RAM. Using more RAM than can be …

Hi there, yesterday a friend of mine gave me an old computer that he had at home, he contacted me cause he would threw on the garbage. Obviously I stopped him from making this big mistake, and so he gave it to me. Nice surprise for me when I opened it! A Super 7 platform was waiting for me! WOW! And …

link to the heatsinks you ordered. Looks like some pretty thick thermal tape was used. Did the tape come with them. My SLI project is a ways out for now. The case I intend to use needs some modifications and I need to have a plastic trim piece for it manufactured, since my case was salvaged I never …

Here I am finally. The heatsink are arrived and I just installed them! Here we go with the images! What do you think about it? I tried in Unreal for about half an hour and they was warm, but non definately hot! I think I succeded in the cooling operations!

This is the first time I seen 2 8MB Voodoo 2 cards being used in SLI, nice. I can see that cooling is already mentioned. Your case looks to be not so great for cooling, especially with no exhaust fan. Even if you give the V2s some active cooling, they might end up just circulating the hotter air …

Get some air cooling going for these Voodoo 2's...they get hotter the faster the cpu speed is. Putting them in like this and also with other cards above and below, they will get really hot. When Voodoo 2 got released a Pentium II 300 Mhz was the fastest processor and i'm sure the cooling/thermal …

In short - if you're playing at 1024 x 768, SLI is good :) And yes the 4mb/4mb split is also correct for 8MB SLI setup Perfect, thanks a lot. Overall system picture sorry? Tell me what you want and I will do ;) Show us the complete build under a desk with it's monitor, speakers etc. What do you see …
