Will I be good using a ES1868 or ES1869 and using Pentium 133 with speed tricks would be good?
How much of the games supports sound blaster Pro 2 type?
If I cannot cover this 1990-2000 10 year range with one sound card, what other choice for sound that is good for this? I had SB 16 back then and did not know how bad it was.
I have choices of YMF 71x or purchase CT2910 (opl-3) or CT2290/2230 and modify SB 16 to work right as I can experiment using my scope and parts to reduce internal noise. But I knew from your forums about single cycle DMA noise on some models. I do not use MIDI currently.
I could had bought a quality 486 board but i'd prefer to purchase a 486 computer like Compaq, IBM or Dell and add my parts to it is future plan while I play with my penitum 133 box (yet to build once I know what to do with sound card choices. I have other hardware parts covered.
