Well, I recently aquired a Soundscape 2000 and was glad to find the drivers right away at vogonsdrivers. A bit annoying is that the 2 disk setup directly switches to Win3.x for installation. But it works :). I also read your comparison at the Ensoniq Wikipedia page Swaaye. So does the Elite features …

You guys are only scratching the surface of this :wink: What you need is the Master Mixer 5.11. This mixer can set different profiles for chorus/reverb, and it comes with another utility called AWE32FXWorkshop for creating/editing the profiles. Thanks for pointing this out. I completely forgot …

Personally, I really like this feature. It is especially handy if you don't have a MIDI device and want to improve / enhance FM sounds. I think this is just a side effect of the routing of the FM sounds through the Emu8K stealing 2 voices. Probably most of the AWE32s can do this. The Emu8K has some …

obviously the bios message you see, check if some pins of the main chip or memory chips are connected (or not).

Well, I have a similar system running with a CT1740+Waveblaster and GUS PnP. Since you didn't give much detail, some tips: - be sure to run the EEPROM tool as the very first action to reduce the required resources of the GUS PnP (do a power cycle after change) - Ignore what the installer reports or …

I know and I can see the mode also in benchmarks. Still, if there is no jumper to change f.e. settings like 0 WS or 1 WS I have to take the result as it is for the specific card. And I have f.e. fast and slow ET4000AXs.

I am currently re-benching some of my ISA VGA cards and it looks like some cards that have the same chipset have different performance. I am benching on a Pentium III 800 MHz, so this is no bottleneck.

Yea and some C64 have better video chips than others. This guy does S-Video C64 game tests: http://www.youtube.com/user/Polaventris And the results are very good I must say. There are two slightly different video chips used in C64s. Which one to choose for capturing depends on the content and for …

Re: Post your 386 Speedsys results here
Posted on 2013-01-20, 14:14
One of the 387 clones, IIT I believe, included a special instruction for matrix multiplies, which is essential for 3D. Supposedly it reaches a 486 like level of performance. Speculating on my part, this is because after you load it up with the matrix, it can do a lot of operations w/o communicating …

I don't know of any substantial difference between older Fasmath FPUs and 487DLC other than rebranding and a few compatibility updates. Supposedly the later releases are actually *slower* than the earlier ones. Well, the Cyrix guide says different, but if someone has such a system running he may …

Well probably a tiny bit, but far from playable. There is some info on the performance difference when upgrading to a matched pair of Cyrix DLC (CPU+FPU) in the cyrix guide. I have a copy here on my ftp: ftp://78.46.141.148/docs/cyrix/cyrix.txt I ran the Quake also with an ULSI FPU which should be …
