My last hurrah before I am back to work and will have little time for my retro passion :( When building a Pentium computer you might want to go for a 3dfx Voodoo or Voodoo 2. In this project I wanted to know how much of a performance difference there is when going from a Voodoo to a Voodoo...

Sorry this post is off topic...

FINALLY finished benchmarking that last CPU :dead: Windows benchmarking takes forever, that's for sure. I tested a few CPUs ranging from the Pentium 100 all the way to one of the fastest options, a K6-III+/550. The card scales very nicely and it is clear that the fast AMD K6 chips are a...

Finished producing my third and final part of this build log and might be of interest to VCF members. The project is about building a MS-DOS / Windows 95 hybrid machine to capture that magical transition from late MS-DOS games to early 3D accelerated games. It also has my "Time-Machine"...

Did a quick benchmarking session on my ISA cards: Some cards didn't support the 640 x 480 resolution and got a 0 for the last test. I'm aware that you can load software to fix this but didn't have any luck with the three UNIVBE versions I have. So if you have any of these cards you might have...

Ontrack FAT32 CF vs. standard FAT16 CF vs. standard FAT16 Micro drive

Finally. It's DONE!!! A comprehensive (this video is over 3 hours long) video explaining everything you need to know about the Roland MT-32 and compatible MIDI units from Roland. Some parts are a bit boring and full of technical details, but many parts have game footage, audio recordings and...

I hope I am posting this in the appropriate section. General MIDI was quite popular when the early Pentium machines were around... Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MpnZlOJIqw&feature=g-all-lik Back in the day of MS Dos and games such as Doom or Descent, General MIDI was all the rage...

Would something like this work in a PCI 486 or Pentium machine? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ultra-ATA-133-PCI-IDE-Raid-Controller-Card-Adapter-/320597518599?pt=AU_Components&hash=item4aa519e907...

Hehe I feel like a little boy again. Backpack, on the Bus with a 486 under my arm. Funny how some things never change, no matter how old you are. I felt the same 20 years ago Anyway, it's a OEM Acer 486 machine and I took LOADS of pictures. There are a ton of jumpers and jumper labels on the...

Looking at these 2 boards: Comes with a DX2-50 and 16MB ram. and this one: Comes with a DX2-66 and 8MB ram. Any comments / which one to go for / good or bad / bring it :happyhappy:
