Hello everyone,
I'm a long time lurker. I have had an early 1998 era PC for many years, since 1998 specifically. From then until now I used it for 1994-1999 games, and it has performed very well. It has a 233 MMX Pentium on board, along with a Voodoo3.
However, the on board sound I always felt was lacking. So I think I should choose a sound card for the ISA port. I already have a CT4500 AWE64.
The problem is this. Some games rely on AWE effects (Croc for reverberation etc.), while others rely on FM (Doom etc.) To my understanding, the AWE64 doesn't have true FM.
So the solution then is to use an AWE32 with true OPL, to get the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, there is no space beyond a CT4500, and it appears that all the revisions of AWE32 with true OPL are long.
What would be my best option?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I'm considering the CT2800, which appears to have true OPL and a short form factor.
