Sometime down the road I want to build a SK8 system, I have the perfect case for one. But I lack just about everything else.
Now I know all the other parts I want. But the 2D card I'm at a loss on.
I goal is to have a top end pre 97 system for playing games that I can't play in my vista/core2 system. Late dos games like duke3d and descent and early 32bit 3d 9x games. I know I'm better off with a sk7 setup, but SK8 would be alot funner.
Here are my thoughts.
S3 virge. Nice all rounder maybe not for 3d but good dos support. That and I like them.
Matrox mystique. This card seems to make a lot of since for a full blown Ppro 32bit power house.
First gen rage. Nothing fancy but much like the virge its a nice all rounder with good support. But I'm not a big fan of them.
ATI Mach 64, more or less a rage without 3d. Never had one but I think it would be a neat card for the system.
What about a Rendition? I never had one before but if I recall they aren't that good for dos.
Any other ideas? I open to anything. But I would like something with good dos support over everything. This leads me to the Virge.
