Hey everyone, so I have a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 AGP 8X 128Mb GPU, now my board is a ECS P6BXT-A+ Rev. 1.3b. On a specs website which I will link below, found something showing 1X and 2X AGP support but nothing beyond that as far as info goes. I did not know if this is even possible and if my GPU clock …

Hey everyone, so my plan for my 98 build is to have 2 x 256mb of PC133 SDRAM, though I am not fully sure yet if my ECS P6BXT-A+ REV 1.3B motherboard even supports PC133, it mostly just shows PC100 in the documentation and all. Also, is it worth going for ECC or not for this build? What is nice is …

Honestly, setting up an Audigy2 ZS with a second sound card is not something that I would recommend to someone who is still new to all this. If you want to try, I can give you some pointers, but it's a fairly complicated process. First, you need to free up as many resources as possible. In the BIOS …

As an ISA card, the AWE64 is natively compatible with DOS games. The Audigy is a PCI card which means that it uses some form of emulation in order to achieve DOS compatibility. In short, DOS games will have fewer issues with the AWE64 than with the Audigy. Concerning soundfonts, the Audigy has a …

Hey everyone, I am starting to learn more about sound cards currently and didn't know what would be the best for both worlds. I know ISA works no problem in DOS and that PCI could be a problem but I did see this post awhile back as well: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=71449 Although …

GF4 Ti is pretty much top dog for Slot 1 machines, Can the 650Mhz CPU take full advantage? probably not but if you already have the card may as well use it! I wouldn't stress too much about the CPU, my 600Mhz plays all my Win9x games just fine that don't work on my faster XP PC (But I do get the …

Hey everyone, since the later slot 1 Pentium IIIs are a lot harder to find since my MB only goes up to 850MHz max (Slot 1) with a FSB 100MHz restriction, I went with a Pentium III 650MHz 100 FSB 256MB CPU. What would be the best GeForce card to use for this build as I have a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 (128MB …

Also if I am using multi-boot such as having 98 installed too, will this driver conflict with 7.1 on 98 as I won't really be using that? Also is there a …
