I decided to go with the ATX motherboard. Although it has an ATI RAGE II +DVD with 2MB, Yamaha YMF715-S and YMF704-S (wavetable) onboard, I decided to use: Elsa Winner 2000 AVI/3D (4MB Virge VX) Elsa Winner 2000 AVI3D.jpg ESS ES1868F + ES690F ESS 1868 + GM.jpg 16MB DIMM will do for now, I'll upgrade …

Maybe they are from an OEM machine? Some Dell cards are picky with the drivers.

After years of downsizing I still have around 50+ cards (ISA, VLB, EISA, PCI, AGP and PCI-E). Still way too much stuff! That depends. If not in original boxes, this many don't take up too much space. If you are a collercor, it's not all that many. If you just want to keep a couple of PC-s running …

My Pentium 133 was bought in November 5th, 1996. If I still had it, it would be 25 years old by now. Not wanting to rebuild 100% what it was, I think it's time for a tribute. Looking at the invoice and from what I recall, maisn specs were: AT case with AT (Flagpoint?) motherboard Intel Pentium …

An original Audigy card with daughter board arrived today. Going to put it in my upper end Win 98 system. I think this will complete that system! https://i.ibb.co/87DTQ5B/20211016-185011.jpg What does the daughter board do? Looks like it saves you blowing a whole $2.99 on a 3.5mm stereo jack to two …

I have a copy of FIC FTP. 12.6GB, made some years ago when I was into archiving stuff. Also have some stuff from S3, Elsa, Terratec and others.

What P2 do you have? The are good boards outside of the usual Asus, Gigabyte and Abit. Supermicro made some nice boards. DFI is often forgotten. Also consider Intel and FIC. I have a P2L97 but my DFI P2XLX is also rock solid.

I remember that when I bought my a7n8x Deluxe, the Sil SATA controller always corrupted my OS. Even RMA'd my brand new Seagate drive thinking it was the faulty part, but no. After that, PATA only in that board.

The chip "legs" can be fixed using a small blade, or in common portuguese (com um "xizato" e com jeito isso vai ao sitio).

Nothing interesting. Only some RAM's for which I paid 10 EUR. I believe they weren't even worth the money, but since I went to the seller for some other stuff (not retro computer-related), I also bought these from him, since he was advertising them on a local flea market. Maybe this one is …

@Mumak The gpu/mem clocks reported are read from the cards or is it some sort of fixed values fom a database? Depends on GPU. For those where it can be read using software and the method is known, it's reported from GPU registers. For some rather old (S)VGAs the clocks can't be read or are fixed, …

At one point I had all those cards you got. The SC8600 is a great card. Onboard synth is close to Roland quality, the ESS chip is great for MS-DOS games and FM is near Yamaha quality. It's my number 1 card. The SCB-7 is a MIDI module. Many, many games use General Midi for music and Roland was top …
