Tested TNT2 Ultra AGP in Rev 3.2 board and performance issues are gone. 43fps Quake 3 (has sound card installed), 1752 3dmark 2000, 3651 3dmark99. Yes, don't think any nVIDIA cards have issues. There's something specific going on with the Voodoo 3, my guess is most other cards will work fine (maybe …

Re: Gigabyte GA-5AX Rev. 4.1 vs Rev. 5.2

Main difference is the VCC3 jumpers on Rev. 5.2 that'll connect VCC 3.3V directly to the PSU. I believe that is in reaction to newer AGP cards destroying some Gigabyte mainboards with their power draw. Also I think only Rev.5.2 has the infrared connector if you want that. ;-) You can run a wire on …

It's unlikely that if a game runs on Win95 it will have issues with W98. I see no practical reason to build a dedicated W95 machine. im new in the retro scene but for example Earthworm jim special edition in windows 98 is not working in fullscreen, only in win95. Probably sometimes depends the game …

maybe you know it, try to reinstall the device, if you dont have the inf, instead of search for a new driver use the another option to look in your windows data base in case you have lucky and find one there, a previous used inf or whatever. Im not really experienced in retro system, you can use the …

Okey now is really done. My multimeter has only one mode "diodes and test continuity", it has something like "test isgnal" (putting 5v if understood correctly, but i dont think is this one). About this test it said: if the resistance is less than 50ohm is going to beep. Al has done the beep in the …
