I agree with dionb that there is a lot of redundancy based on these system specs. I would likely pair it down to a max of 4 systems: 386 DX-16 - Late 80s / early 90s DOS Pentium 166 - Mid 90s DOS Pentium III - Windows 98 (late 90s) Sempron 3400+ - Windows XP (early 2000s) In my own experience with …

When you have this many machines I find it's more helpful to specialise the builds rather then try and make them all generic as compatible as can be systems. That focus can either be on hardware or a certain game. as an example Agreed, but what I am trying to do is to focus on all relevant …

Thanks for your reply : ) appreciate all the advices I can get. That's *all* you are keeping? ;) There's a lot of redunancy here : D' I know, I am trying to make them all productive non redundant. A 386DX-16 can theoretically run SoftMPU, but the performance hit on such an old CPU would be …

Cool! Mind sharing where you got it ? I don't think I even remember where it was, 🤣 ! I found 2 online on they system, one was 160 and another 100. The 100 one was around St. Michel/St. Leonard.

I have got a MB with a onboard 1373 chip on it, so my guess is that it should perform, if not identical, at least very close to the card from this topic. My question for you guys is: is it worthy to get a Live card only to play late 90s and very early 2000s titles? I do have other machines with …

If anyone in the Montreal (province of Quebec in Canada) area is looking for a deal on a RA-50 locally, one of the bigger local pawn shop chains with a WEB presence has one for sale for 110 CAN$ and have apparently had it for sale since 2019 . To respect Vogons' policies, I will not be providing …
