Hello, I am asking for advice about some Super Socket 7 builds.
I have 4 of these Super Socket 7 motherboards so I can do various builds. They are like NEW. I think they are system pulls from computers that were never used.
They are in ESD antistatic bags and don't have any signs of use on them.
Purpose: To be able to play as many old games as possible, DOS time machine.
I would like them to perform optimal. I don't want to over load the computer CPU.
I was inspired by Phils build.

But I don't want to use a Roland MT32 & MPU-401 Midi interface as I don’t have one.
Just the sound card. Do I need one ?
