You are welcome. 😀 I am grateful to have stumbled upon them after missing the first run of the green boards while lurking on and off here. I've been wanting MPU cards for a long time. DOOM/DOOM 2 sound so amazing on the Sound Canvas.

All right, I have a better understanding of it now. I'll try this when my two new MPU's arrive. Thank you. 😀

So what is the best way to use this to avoid the hanging note bug? I have been using an SC-55 with Soft MPU with various SB16's using the line in on the SB16. If I have this card, do I just do the line in into the SB16 and there will be no hanging note bug or do I need a mixer to pipe the SC-55 and …

I have tried during my gaming rages. Punching the monitor, beating the monitor with a keyboard, a stapler, even a heavy office chair and I haven't managed to break a CRT yet.

Re: POD 83 faster than Socket 4 Pentium 66?

Would the 32K L1 cache of the POD be the major factor in making it faster than a P66? P60 and P66 only have 16K of L1 cache. I have payed alot of DOOM on both systems and found that the POD 83 is faster, even the POD 63 feels faster than Socket 4.

The Riftwar Saga was an amazing read. I read that back in December 2000 and I stil remember most of it. Never played Betrayal at Krondor, it is on my list.

I remember when this game was new-I was in 10th grade in highschool. The music in ROTT is awesome. I played it a little bit and returned to playing DOOM every day. Remember, this game has the seasonal easter eggs, so if you play it on christmas in two days Taradino Cassatt will be wearing a santa …

Team Fortress 2 on the vs. ponyville server. Tons of fun and addictive. I started playing this on my brother's AMD 6 core at my mother's house, but I got sick of going over there and finding him asleep and the computer "locked" half of the time so I looked for a computer at my house that was strong …

Delta Force also works fine on a Pentium 4 with FX5200 256mb card on Win XP for me at least and also play it on a Pentium 3 1000mhz with Voodoo Banshee on Win 2K.

Very nice!! Good to see a working socket 4 system with 3DFX. I have two socket 4 PCI Premier motherboards, one of which uses a riser card.

Impressive! How long did it take to post on the 286? I am curious. Also good job fixing the corroded traces. My first 486 board is ruined from the Varta barrel battery destroying the keyboard interface.
