Best to bookmark the vgamuseum.info domain? If you get a Mach64 ISA some of the guys here might be overwhelmed with joy. :) Bookmarked. And, ya. I'd like to see the Mach64 ISA 2mb and 4mb benchmarks though I don't really expect them to be faster than the highest rated ISA cards already on there. …

I think it would be better for you to just use the 486SXL2-50 as a single clocked 40MHz chip instead. Since it has 8kb cache it should be faster than the DLC-40. The 486SXL2-50 runs with the clock doubler disabled by default. I used to own this chip, and I found the clock doubling feature to be …

Are you trying to use your ISA 486 as your main PC? :shocked: :happyhappy: No, it's sometimes just useful to be able to do something else while the game machine is fired up instead of switching to a different machine. You can still get online and check email with DOS, 3.1 or 9x you know and the old …

As far as I know Mach32 has 64-bit path to memory, not 32-bit as the name might imply. I don't know that this benchmark of ISA cards is very useful either, as it appears many of the cards on the list must be running in 8-bit mode. In any case, I own pretty much every card ATI made for ISA bus. As …

Edit: Oh yeah 3Dlabs Glint chip was first gen, but I'm thinking the Virge might actually be second gen? I would call all consumer 3D accelerators without DirectX 3.0 support the 0-generation (NV1, YGV612, probably the Matrox Ultima/Impression - they were so different, that it's probably very …

A while ago I found a Super Slotket-III adapter in an old compaq 440BX based PC (together with a voodoo3 2000 AGP :) ). Now this type of adapter was new to me, and now I learned that it might help in upgrading a 440BX board with certain faster CPUs. slotket image here: http://ht4u.net/old/2000/ …

I just found a working 486. It has opti chipset, 1 MB Tseng ET4000 ISA graphics, 4MB, 200 MB HDD, two floppy drives, AMD 486DX 40 MHz. Two Slots have an extension, I assume VLB. It booted and when I typed win, it started win 3.11. Win 3.11 looks incredibly cool and sharp on a 15" TFT. Problems: I …

What do you think the chances are that Mach64 ISA is going to pull a solo performance above its peers? ;) Memory size probably doesn't matter. VGA resolutions use very little RAM. Memory speed may not matter either considering the ISA bus which the card communicates through can only manage ~2 MB/s. …

More ISA video card results. (I can't remember who posted this) http://82.114.193.227/vga/view.php?cisloclanku=2007030003 The thing is, in most comparisons you see from that time period they always show the Mach64 PCI results if Mach64 is included at all. Trying to extrapolate Mach64 results from …

Thanks for the link! there does not seem to be any FCC ID number on this sound card :s-face: ... after more looking it could also be an Aztech sound 4 or sound 3 card! I may as well bin this one and buy a Yamaha OPL3 based ISA card :happyhappy: I had a Packard Bell P150 system years ago and I can …

So I managed to score one of each of these the other day and I was wondering if the SXL2-50 a clock doubled processor? I would think that it is since there were no 50mhz 386 chips so 25mhz x 2? I'm planning to put it in a system that currently has a AMD 386DXL-25 in it. I also got a TX 486DLC/E-40GA …

I have selected the mentioned mainboard (AMI Baby Screamer Mark V) as the board I would like to use. Maybe it's just me, but I think you're going at it backwards. IMO, the wiser move would really be to pick the best out of what you can find now, then swap out parts if you come across something more …

This is the first time I have seen one selling as a normal auction. When you see a Mach64 ISA card the BIN prices usually start in the $75 range and some sellers are even deluded into thinking they can get $200 or more for them. I suppose if you have some old ISA bus machine that you are stuck with …

The best ISA video card was the ATi Mach64 with 4mb of memory. You'll be very lucky to find one as they were the last ISA video card and PCI was already out by the time they were released. Mach64 doesn't have 3d acceleration, so don't expect it to be a good gaming accelerator. Acceleration back then …
