I've played a lot of games on systems built on that S12II and have played with headphones. No audio issues AFAIR.

I've run old rigs on various modern PSUs without trouble. It's only the most demanding stuff, like a high-power Athlon XP on an old 5v motherboard, that can be troublesome. But I don't think I've had any problems even with that sort of setup.... I have a PC Power & Cooling 430W (Seasonic rebrand) …

Hard drives definitely have mechanical problems at very high altitudes.

SiS 530 can just barely run GLQuake adequately... 😀 mr_bigmouth_502 wrote: Could he even run it in software mode? Since it was a K6 it was pretty sad in general. But I remember messing with D3D, OGL and software modes at very low resolutions.

How does make and model stack up with the rates you are seeing? I can't imagine that the interface affects failure rate though. There is probably some other variable at work.

I too got the game working with Alchemy + X-Fi + 7x64 now. I still can not get sound from X-Fi MB3 + Alchemy though. It works with various other old games that use EAX 3. No idea what's going on. The dsoundlog.txt says the Creative software 3D library is in use, but the game is simply mute. I even …

CrystaLake Series 140. I've never seen one for sale and nobody talks about them. CGW loved the card though.

Either 6800 Ultra or 5900 Ultra. FX series has support for pallettized textures if that is useful to you. They both have similar anti-aliasing and anisotropic filter features. Obviously 6800 is considerably faster.

MEH, mine was just fine, but still not quite powerful enough to play flash in fullscreen. At least not without help from a video card. Voodoo 5 will NOT help in that department. Even on a current quad core CPU an old and slow video card will cause horrendous tearing with Flash videos. Seen this …

I really suggest looking for nForce 2 Ultra 400 instead. It will be a snappier system. There is something about VIA chipsets that always seems slightly sluggish to me (perhaps their IDE controller). If you want to consider VIA, I would look for a board with KT333. That's a nice setup with a lot of …

I can try with an Audigy 2 ZS and Windows XP if you'd like! Go for it. Then I don't have to set up a box with XP. :D. I imagine it will work that way though since that will be fairly period correct. See if 5.1 output mutes it. I have this game on Xbox too and on there it does nice Dolby Digital 5.1 …
Re: Voodo2 SLI interlacing
Posted on 2013-11-20, 18:35
Doesn't sound normal. Is vsync enabled or disabled? Are the cards the same make and model? Is interlacing happening in all games? What driver version are you using? What refresh rate are you running at? SLI works by interleaving scanlines so it is similar to interlacing but it should not typically …
