This is the only AGP system I have. My 6800 GT works fine. It's a shame. This is a really good looking card. It's got a purple pcb. Matches my mb. I want to hit it with heat, but I'm waiting to hear back from the seller.

I've narrowed down my speaker hum to my XP machine. If I disconnect the power cable to the XP machine, the speaker hum goes away. That PC is connected to the receiver through three 3.5mm to RCA cables. Merely touching the computer case with the 3.5 mm jack will cause background hum in my speakers. …

So I've been having this error on shutdown: "Write fault error writing device aux" and then "Abort Retry Ignore Fail" Which has not been a problem, because I just type A and then windows tells me it is now safe to turn off my computer. However, I'm trying to install Kings Quest V. A game I never …

yeah I was watching a Phil's computer lab video yesterday, and iirc, he was saying that the GeForce 3 was the only card that would do the shadows in splinter cell correctly.

I am using a 2017 Samsung CF791 Ultrawide with Windows 98. I have all three of my systems connected to this monitor. Win 10/Windows 7 present no problem. So far the best I can do on XP is 1280x1024 , which is fine. I installed 81.98 and Windows 98 seems fine so far at 1280,1024, except I keep …

I'm having some issues getting windows 98 SE to run right. Lot's of blue screen "hit enter to continue" right on startup. I don't know what set it off. Could have been the PCI USB 2.0 card; I selected the wrong drivers I think. Or it could have been the generic monitor driver. Mistakes were made. I …

So a KVM is receiver for keyboards and mice. I have literally never considered it. Did know it was an option. I'm going to look into it more. I'm look at Hammer Fid Control in Phoenix bios. After looking at Phil's video, it looks like I need to trim that down to 800 and lower the voltage too. …
