Another Popular car of the 80’s was the Chevy Camero IROC. Commercial link: https://youtu.be/pB-AgikWZhs Beautiful car. Took me way too long to realize that the line in teenage dirtbag was "he drives an IROC" rather than "in Iraq"... I always thought that line was weird... but now it makes sense.

Video Memory Stress Test should work. I ran it recently on an AGP card under Win98se but I haven't tested an ISA card before.

Can we all rub your friend for good luck, seems he got the one single deal this year lol The only card we could find a decent deal on was a 3060Ti, which should be fine for his 1080p gaming needs. We rebuilt his old i5 6th gen/750Ti machine earlier this year but held off on a GPU. He's been …

It's a more modern drive (LG Super Multi Blue) on Windows 10, x79 platform, so I'm not too sure. It could still burn discs using 3rd party software so maybe just Windows weirdness …

For the past year, I wondered why I couldn't drag and drop files to my CD/DVD burner and create removable media like I used to...which turned out to be because I had the drive plugged into a sata 3 port on the motherboard instead of sata 6.

I helped a friend install a new GPU he got on black friday.

I found it is best to put a hub on the usb 1.1 Yeah that's a good idea. Unfortunately, for my build the mobo does not have a USB header, only a couple ports on the back. I am still looking for a decent card with an internal header so I can connect some front panel ports. I found this one, and it …

Hah, even more specific of a use case. Understood.

Thank you for the detailed info. Sounds like it won't be much of an issue since I don't intend on using the RS232 ports.

I picked up this Asus P5A Rev. 1.03 a while back and noticed some missing components after I had been using it a bit. It looks like D7 and D8 have been knocked off. https://i.imgur.com/ngW47o4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NdoCXOb.jpg I haven't noticed any instability on the platform running some games …

Run DXDIAG.EXE. You should see 16MB of video memory for Voodoo2 if SLI is working. As leileilol pointed out, only 8MB is effective for texture VRAM. Ideally, the 3dfx control panel info with SLI activated will look like this: https://hardforum.b-cdn.net/data/attachment-files/2019/06/307462_76OlWTSh …

Just realized I never came back to this thread to report that maxtherabbit's dongle indeed solved the issue. I've been using it for a good while now to output the image from my Voodoo 2s to my OLED TV via the Extron RGB-HDMI 300 A and it clears the image right up. The issue also doesn't affect …

yeah that's normal, look for something to low-pass that signal before trying to digitize it I recently got back to this after acquiring two Voodoo 2s for SLI and they exhibit the same issue. (Was kinda hoping the interleaved signal would maybe hide it a bit, but it only doubled the amount of bands …
