It seems like we build very similar systems Shponglefan (both having P4 based ISA systems) and this build is really very close to my main DOS/Win95 rig 🤣. I like the Idea of the Tropez and the SB32 for sound. I would love a Tropez (and the Maestro 32/96!)
I too have a Pentium 233mmx With a Riva128 and a Voodoo Card. I run a Gigabyte GA586-HX board in mine though and only 48MB ram. I *think* my board has 512kb of cache. Theres and option in the BIOS from what I can remember which can change the cache size, but I've never gone over 48MB with my machine so never looked into it. This board the Turbo acts as a 50mhz switch. I installed a DIP switch in Mine. I can change the FSB from 50/60/66 real time, and the multi's( but those require a reboot to take effect. Sound is pretty fluid with my machine and changes. Currently, it has a PicoGUS, SB16 CT2230 and a SW60XG and X2 and S2 Wavetable boards. Its the only machine I've never dismantled as its a great DOS/Win95 PC.
I do want to switch out the Mech HD for an SSD but I can't be arsed re-installing everything again!
