Everyone, The folks over at the now-defunct CGW, aka Computer Gaming World, have posted .PDF files of their first 100 episodes. Being the rather nice girl that I am I went ahead and collected all of them, plus the index file, into a nice little torrent that is attached to this post for all of your …

You know, you could have simply sent me a PM where I would have been more than happy to change it. Instead you chose to make a public issue about it which, oh I do not know, the person in question may not really appreciate. :angry: I'll stop right here since I'm not really in the mood to test how …

Everyone, Well, after some trial and error as well as catching up on things posted here, here are the final specs that I stuck with for the boxen: System 1: DOS/Win98SE ISA box Pentium III 1 GHz Slot-1 (with a Pentium II 233 Mhz and a Pentium III 500 MHz to slot in for VERY old DOS titles or Win95 …

5u3, Already way ahead of you on the voodoo2 front and managed to get a sweet deal on another one. The only fustration I have right now is trying to track down a SLI cable which I've been unable to locate so far. That and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $10 for one off of ebay if I can help it. …

I've seen that mentioned in a few places that worked well for some games but had the downside of not working for others. -_- What I wound up deciding was the suggestion Davros made; install a voodoo1 card for the DOS Glide titles and putting in a GeForce 3 (which from what research I saw had the …

Great Hierophant, *sigh* I know but it honestly was the best I could put together from the parts I have managed to salvage from our last company hardware upgrade. -_- I did have a question for you 'tho. My understanding, at least from what research I've done, is that PCI = SUX0rz for any kind of DOS …

Using the feedback received so far here are some slight revisions: System 1: DOS/Win98SE non-emulation box Pentium III 733 MHz Slot-1 (with a Pentium II 233 Mhz to slot in for VERY old DOS titles) A Intel 440 BX-based motherboard with two ISA slots 512MB PC133 SDRAM Nvidia RIVA TNT 16MB AGP 3DFX …

Keropi, Let me take your questions in order: 1. Where can one see the dsp ver of a sb16? This I honestly am not sure of but I used this paragraph that the Great Hierophant made to sort thru many boxes of SB16's to get the right ones: "In terms of compatibility, I would stick with an early, non PnP …

Great Hierophant, Re: System 1 Was not aware you could underclock like that without hurting the CPU. As it stands 'tho the 233 and 266Mhz slot-1 CPU's were pretty plentiful and you can not beat free. ^__^ The Sound Blaster 16's I found are marked as CT-1740's but have, at least what I think is, the …

Everyone, I've been reading, digging, and researching here and elsewhere on what would be the most optimal build for a retro-PC gaming system. However, I am a realist in that it has been quite awhile since I've dabbled in the dark arts known as DOS and older PC hardware so I come to all of you to …

Keropi, That was kind of my thinking as well and judging from the lack of responses would prove this out. Either that or most folks think I'm too nutty to even try to begin with. ^__^ In either event, I'll just hold on to both cards and swap them out as circumstances warrant which seems to be the …

Keropi, The primary reason would be that the Mechwarrior 2 series of titles, specifically the 3DFX ones, tend to either require a lot of work to get running properly on a voodoo2 if they work at all. In addition, there are also other glide 1.x titles that also do not like running on a voodoo2 very …

I've been lurking and doing a lot of research on this but I've a few questions that I hope one or more of you may be able to answer: 1. Is it possible to run both a Voodoo1 as well as two Voodoo2's in SLI mode? I would be using the Voodoo1, a Pure 3D, for DOS Glide titles and a Obsidian X-24 for …
