I find myself a new father!
So I've gotten this bug to create a library of games for my son so he can remember his gaming heritage.
I have rebuilt a DOS/9x machine for him.
AOpen AP5VM
64MB ram
P1 P55C 200MHZ
Sound Blaster AWE64 ISA
PNY nVidia TNT2 M64 PCI
Promise 133 TX2 PCI -> IDE to CompactFlash -> 32gb CF card
era 3.5 + IDE 4x CD Reader
This machine is working really well playing the DOS era games in eXo's amazing REMOVED collection.
My question is, what about all those DirectX games? Bioware games, Bethesda games, Half Life, EA Sports, 4X, Racing Sims, ... Those games I buy from GoG and run on my main machine but they still run with glitches. Every bullfrog game has issue, I can't play DKII or Populous...
So I want to build an Win XP system.
I have a P3 sitting on the floor and my old P4 sitting at my parents.
Should I jump to at top of class P4 and get the baddest ass AGP card I can find?
Is there any reason to build a P2/P3 system?
Thanks People of VOGONS!
