Finally managed to get some nice Copper Heatsinks for my 3dfx Voodoo 5 5500, got to say they look good and seem to be working well
Hopefully they will keep the card going for a few more years to come

Picked up a new case which I've moved my Core 2 Win XP system into, overall I'm really happy with it and it's nice to have another desktop case :)
System specs are as follows
CPU - Intel Core 2 Extreme - QX6850 @ 3.6Ghz (9 x 400 FSB)
Motherboard - Asus P5Q Deluxe Socket 775
RAM - 4GB...
Hi cee-S-dee
I wish I could have found one of those, I have a Saphire 9800 Pro with something very similar fitted and it works great,
Yes your eye is spot on, the motherboard is an Asus TUSL2-C and the soundcard is a Diamond MX300 with an X2GS fitted,
Just wish I could find some nice 38mm...
Fitted a cheap aftermarket fan to my original Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4400 as the fan was super noisy and I think it was over heating as was causing some instability,
Seems to be running fine now under Win 98SE in my P3 Tualatin 1.4 build using the Omega 43.45 drivers,

Yes it's weird that there is this difference between them when other than that they look identical,
The only reason I looked into 86Box over PCem was it has additional soundcards to play around with such as the AWE64,
Yes as someone who grew up with a 386 making floppies with different...
I've been playing around with PCem & 86Box and overall they do seem very good especially when compared to the actual physical hardware.
86Box does seem to be my preferred emulator but there is one annoyance with it, when using 3dfx mode on Carmageddon there is an annoying black bar at the top...
@Guest2 - I've tried to do some benchmarks for you but im struggling with 3DMark 99 as I don't think it likes the DirectX 5 drivers im currently using for the Voodoo 1
I did manage to get Sisoft Sandra 99 working by updating the VCRedist version
I've got a P2-450 with a Voodoo 3 running...
Hi
@Zaf - Our second PC was a Compaq Presario P75 which at the time was great coming from a 386 SX20 but in hindsight the P75 chip wasn't that brilliant due to its 25mhz bus.
@cee-S-dee - That a really nice clean looking system, I do have a Riva TNT2 Vanta PCI card I can use but was having...
Thanks for the comments guys, I was quite lucky and managed to get the motherboard NOS and the case was brand new as well which helps with the clean appearance.
Guest 2 - I've never come across PCem, how does it compare to real hardware especially the 3dfx card and the AWE32?
Chris
Finally got my Pentium 233 MMX setup to a point where I'm happy with it and seem to have most things sorted, I'm looking at you Windows 95 :rolleyes:
The spec is below
CPU - Intel Pentium 233 MMX
Motherboard - AOPEN AX5T rev 3.1
RAM - 64 MB SDRAM PC66 (CAS 2)
VGA - S3 Virge DX 4Mb
3D - 3DFX...
I think my Voodoo 2 Card died today, started suffering with artifacting while playing some games this afternoon and now is not being recognised by Windows :(
Thanks, lol yes the SSD is hanging like that as I was removing it every time I wanted to transfer data over before I got the USB working properly.

I've been playing around with my Abit Geforce 4 Ti 4400 in preparation for a new project and i've been looking for a specific driver with out much luck. Does anyone have a copy of or know where to get one for the Omega Driver v43.45 they seem to have been very popular back in the day but none of...
