Awesome! I don't have any problems opening old, sealed hardware. Open away! The Voodoo2 and Voodoo3 are mostly wasted in a Pentium, more so the Voodoo3, unless you don't have a primary 2D card for DOS (which the Voodoo3 excels). For games without heavy CPU utilization, you'll see a big boost, …

Ok I haven't read the entire thread but are you saying that a new processor was incompatible with the sound drivers? I am not questioning I'm just surprised/intrigued. No, thats not what im saying. I think the CPU had nothing to do with anything at this point and the reason from the start must have …

Quake for example would crash when i had the CD in and the music was playing, but not when i didnt have the CD in. Also the VXD made me realize its a sound driver …

Wallace Silversmiths is a very good company. Me and my wife inherited alot of silverware and serving platers from her grandmother. And all the pieces are probably 70+ years old and still look like new. So odds are that mouse has a seriously high quality silver finish. I'd personally get it polished …
