Man! I can see that now. Just got the Banshees last night and they are not what my high hopes expected. It ran Tomb Raider okay, but not with anti-aliasing, and an even slower frame-rate than a Voodoo 1! Descent 2 won't go, and I don't know if I can convince myself it's worth the time to make it …

Woah! 😳 For any Soyo ISA fans out there, there seems to be way more Pentium 4 3.06gig 533fsb processors available than there was when I was looking a year and a half ago! I found a few on Froogle for 88 bucks!

I'll see what I can do about enviorment varible postings here when I get home tonight. Hopefully the Banshees are finally here (I had to email the seller and pester him to ship a little). I don't think I needed to use any enviornment variables for Reguard, it was the Glide driver version that made …

to answer leileilol... Um, yeah, I'd love to have all the patches on my hard-drive, but I don't know WHAT games to track down patches for yet! :blush: This is just an attempt to narrow down just such a list, and then I'll try and get all this working. If there's enough interest, I'll see if I can …

Wow! I forgot about Ultima II not working. That's a blast from the past -it was a source of much chagrin where I worked. I got an Ultima Collection box as a souvenir from my time there. Thanks for reminding me, useful if I ever reinstall it. Man there were problems at EA tech support. Oh... here's …

Well, I stand corrected. Haven't tried disabling a CPU L2 cache. Neat idea! I did change that setting once in the BIOS to see what it would do. I remember waiting an hour for Win 95 to boot. 😀 If only it could be done in a batch file!

Good Suggestion. I'll edit the first post. Miki Maus- Doesn't it SUCK how obscure some of these 3dfx patches are?! Thanks for the tip tho. Any link maybe? I wouldn't be surprised if someone wrote a 3dfx dos patch for Doom and the only remnant of it is hanging by a thread on some poor sap's homemade …

Heheh, yep! The SCC-1 works on the Soyo. This is a good motherboard! HAHAHA! How do you get Wing Commander to run correctly? Believe me... I tried EVERYTHING... including WORKING FOR ORIGIN TECH SUPPORT! I'm not kidding. I did a six-month tech support contract with Origin and... no, couldn't get a …

Thanks leileilol! (love that character)

Greetings Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman, 2 Soyos?!? I'm envious! Wow! Yeah, go ahead. My friend (who knows the tech specs of ISA) was voicing my concerns when I first told him about this: "wow... they must have done some tweeky stuff to run an ISA bus with the CPU at that clock speed." Well, yeah... …

Oh yeah, and since you asked, the only DOS Voodoo game I've found that ONLY likes Voodoo 1 (no matter what anyone has been able able to do) is Dreams to Reality. Carmaggeddon and Blood I haven't been able to get working with either a voodoo 1 or a 2. There's lots of factors- manipulating enviorment …

Greetings Back! Well, the idea of a Voodoo 3 built-in graphics card sounds very exotic and appealing. Lemme give ya a quick run-down on what I know about the Voodoos... Voodoo 1 and Voodoo 2 boards were 3D only boards... that's it. NO 2D graphics at all. That meant ya had to have another 2D only …

I hope you guys don't mind a long post on this topic, but I just joined to board too and this subject struck a cord, so here goes... That sounds like an excellent choice for a setup. I like a Pentium 2/3 in the neighborhood of 400mhz. I personally have a similar Microstar Motherboard in my main …
