Running out of space, so i need to get rid of some systems, but what to keep. I want to keep 3 systems maximum.
I'm thinking to keep my:
AMD 386 DX40 with Ilon m-321 motherboard
Ark 2000PV 2Mb graphic card ISA
SB Vibra16 CT2260 Soundcard ISA
P233MMX Fujitsu system,
Daimond Stealth 3D 2000 PCI graphics card
Daimond 3Dfx voodoo2 12 MB
SB 32 AWE SB3980
PII-350 or PII-450 or PIII-450
Asus P2B motherboard
Hercules 3D Prophet II MX 64 MB AGP graphics card
SB Audigy LS PCI sound card
Those systems i'm thinking of holding on to. I think they are the best for dos early win95 games. I also have an option to keep:
IBM Model 30 XT, to limited for gaming in my opinion.
IBM model 30 286, Same as above, way to limited, also no easy upgrade path.
AMD Athlon 64 3000, with Asus K8V deluxe motherboard, to new i think.
HP DX2000MT P4 2.8Ghz, to new.
Intel pentium 166, with Gigabyte GA586VX motherboard, think a P233 mmx is the better option.
Intel Pentium 100??, with asus P/I P55T2P4 motherboard. same as above.
Intel Pentium 100??, Soyo SY-5MA motherboard, same as above.
Intel PII-233 with PCPartner LXA800D motherboard, Asus P2B is the better option.
As for graphics i can also choose:
ISA,
Machspeed Tseng ET4000AX 1Mb
Trident TVGA9000B 1Mb
But i guess for the best speed the ARK2000PV 2Mb is the better option for dos games.
VLB
Cirrus Logic CL-GD5428 1Mb, don't have a vlb motherboard, so it's not an option.
AGP
Ati Rage 3D rage II+DVD 4Mb
Daimond Speedstar A50 8Mb sis6326
Hercules Terminator Beast 8Mb Savage3D
Asus V9560 Geforce FX5600 128 Mb, to new
Ati Radeon 9550 128Mb, to new
Ati Radeon 9600Pro 128 Mb, to new
Hercules Prophet 9000Pro 128 Mb, to new
PCI
Daimond stealth 3D 2000, 2Mb
Daimond S3 Stealth 64 Video Vram 4Mb
3DFX Voodoo2 12Mb SLI, not so much support for it that i think i would need it, think i can do with a single card.
Ati Radeon 9600 256Mb ddr, to new
Sound
Isa
J.J.L. Ultra Wave Gravis Ultrasound clone, more for demo scene then gaming i think
Sound Blaster 64 gold, the awe 32 i have has a memory upgrade, so i think it is more usable.
Sound Blaster CT4170 vibra16xv
Advance Logic ALS 100 plus+
Opti 931
PCI
Cmedia CMI8738
Sound Blaster Live CT4670
Sound Blaster Live CT4760
Sound Blaster Live SB0220
What would be the systems i could build out of these.
