Alright, I got the AWE64 out, running a dual boot DOS 6.22 and Win98SE to get more from my Voodoos (still can't try SLI, I didn't receive the shorter ATI card..) although my FPS are kind of disappointing, around 15FPS in Unreal Gold at 800x600 maxed out, 12-15 fps in Half-Life 640x480. This may be because of my CPU/RAM bottleneck? (I now have 32MB, I guess a slot or a ram stick stopped working, it's seated properly and can't have it working, anyhow I have 2x128MB sticks coming in)
Turned out the deal for the MT-32 broke off, spent the money on a K6-2/300AFR (AND a K6/300AFR by mistake... if anybody's interested, olivil475.at.gmail.dot.com) instead, my board supports 4.5x66MHz @ 2.2V. Will I still be able to disable L1/L2 cache to get slower speed? I enjoyed this trick. 😜
Also is there any faster CPU other than the K6-2/333AFR that can fit my board?
I can support up to 5.5 freq. multiplier, up to 83MHz, 2.2-2.6-2.8-3.2V.
At this point, should I be better off having a P2 with a slot 1 motherboard (and AGP?)?
It's funny how this setup is getting me more interested in early 3D acceleration 😜,
Though my goal is to have a great machine that can handle most EGA/VGA games and up to 1998-1999.
Should I take some pics when everything is done before a screw the case close? 😀
