Imagine Sega would choose Voodoo2 for his Dreamcast.

Hello, this might help speed things up the next time you need to take it apart. th-cam.com/video/R80yqAldCKU/w-d-xo.html

Other systems used those disks too, the one that springs to mind is the Tatung Einstein.

The only issue I see with the K7S5A build was the CPU. No way that thing was going to POST by how burnt it was. Any 462 CPU (T-Bird included!) would have worked.

This was my second pc I no longer have it but I have it's heart at least I kept the cpu 😂

Pentium MMX has a 32 KB L1 cache while Pentium has a 16 KB L1 cache. That is its biggest performance advantage. Pentium MMX also has better branch prediction logic which results in fewer pipeline stalls.

Would a pentium 4 with 2.4Ghz work?

Install descent 3, the game has Pentium 3 exclusive special graphic effects. If you use any other CPU they don't work. Descent 3 also supports 3d sound and bump mapping on the robots.

There's a similar one in my area with 3.20 P4 HT, 2gb ram, 80gb HDD, nvidia 5200, sound blaster, Sony monitor, speakers, mouse, and keyboard for 60usd. Also saw a 6800gt agp for $20. I already have a first gen i7 build that would be perfect for this but I just can't resist lol

you can turn the benchmark audio down, when it started at around 10:30 i couldnt hear you at all over it.

this was my first computer, you can not even imagine how much it means to me

i like your video but , it seemed you was narrating over the top and at times didnt go with what you were doing , good vid tho

A 6000 would be perfect 😅 I had a 3000 back in 99 with a p3 650. Great times. Upgraded to a 256 if I recall.

It looks great!

Interesting comparison between them. I've seen these pop up on Marketplace but the sellers are asking silly money for them.

Crazy enough the 9100 was more powerful

Glad that Nvidia fan sticker came in handy! 😎

Please same test with Aquamark, NFS Undergrund and Unreal Tournament 2003

The ATI 9200 128-bit had a similar performance to the 2001 Geforce 3 TI200. I liked the Geforce 4 TI4200 especially because practically all of them could be overclocked from 250/500 mhz to around 300/600 mhz.

Closer than I thought. I wonder how their retail prices compared.

Nice video, couldn’t hear you through the audio in the 3Dmark03 Mother Nature benchmark and the game afterwards, need to turn down the audio levels in editing.

I really wish I could get on facebook marketplace just for the pensioners selling old PCs...but unfortunately that involves creating a facebook account. Those Vaios are snazzy!

ASUS made OEM boards for many manufacturers.

are they worth it? depends if you want the full retro experience. alot of old games will run on win 10. get a cheap ish 6th gen intel and you can use a glide wrapper to emulate 3dfx. better performance that a retro pc, cheaper. pcem will also allow you to emulate old pentium hardware and voodoo, then allow you to run win98. but full experience get old hardware and voodoo.

The M2 was my first chip .. Came with the Presario 2262 I used to have.. The machine came with the crappy SiS 5597/5598 VGA.. The fond memories I have of this crappy computer beats the best I have on my current beast rig lol

Super cool. It is a shame the keyboard mechanism eventually falls apart. I’d have used mine more, even to this day, otherwise.

I didn't know about this module. i'll certainly buy one soon. But when i look at the description you say "Olivetti Xana 53-120 (now 200)" You put a Pentium 200 inside the Xana 53-120 and it works ? Seems to be out of range like the manual says 166Mhz maximum How did you make this ?

I use PowerMac G3 333Mhz 1MB cache beige tower with MacOS 8.6 and 3Dfx Game Wizard Voodoo2 as of 2024. PSU was recapped, brand new HDD scsi. This pc is awesome

That There be one Sexy System..... Everyone Loved the Black IBM Look, but they charged top dollar

You have both saved me a lot of time in the future and given me a mammoth task of creating my own library. Great video!

Hi, great video, and thanks for calling the 5x86 fastest skt 3 cpu! That legal trouble with intel you mentioned, took up almost their entire budget to win against intel. This left cyrix with few funds for R&D going forwards. Since their 486 maths co-processor was reasonable, they stuck with it. Thus, significantly reducing dev cost of the 6x86. The 5x86 you mentioned was actually significantly faster than an intel 486 at same clock rate. But it came with most of the optional performance enhancements OFF by default, as many motherboards didn't support these features well. In a fully compatible m/b though I found the 5x86 was 20% faster than intel at same clock rate with optimisations off. And about 33% faster with them ALL on. So my 5x86-120Mhz performed like a 160Mhz 486, or a P90. I loved that chip so much I bought 3 of them, still got one of them now for a keep sake!

the VooDoo killer... and at a fraction of the price.

Looks like you forgot to disable vsync. Your 3dmark99 hits the 75 FPS (Your Flatscreens Refresh Rate) Wall.

Check carefully the graphics chip of the AGP cards because it has had many variations in its long existence.

Very good material I also invite you to compare Voodoo 2 8MB vs 12MB vs SLI (English subtitles)

my dualboot xp 32bit/vista 64bit build has an i7 3930k oced to 4.7ghz 16gbs of ddr3 2400mhz in quad channel and first gen titans in sli all hooked up to a dell p991 trinitron display running at 2560x1920 using custom res and a older dell 30 inch lcd thats 2560x1600

WoW! I got the trick😮

Geforce went faster, but blood 2 and shogo didn't work well on geforce. That's why I still have my V770.

I had an Olivetti XANA 233MMX. 1997. 32MB Ram, 4gb HDD, 2MB S3 ViRGE, Win 95 later upgraded to Win2kPro. Had the same monitor, speaker base, microphone, keyboard etc, but it was a tower case, same colours with the cdrom/floppy & same power button, was a very good quality pc.

Great video, but you mispronounced Berkeley (its more like "burk-lee" not 🥦). It's named after the city in California the company was founded in

Those Screen Savers are pretty Wild Man. Screen savers are actually making a comeback with more people adopting OLED tech, that's the reason I use one myself :D

Interesting video

I have this card also. Bought it a couple of years ago. I am yet to use it in a build, as I want genuine OPL3. I may put this in a build alongside a soundcard that has OPL3.

If you still have the original machine with the borked BIOS, you should be able to reflash the BIOS using the image from this new one, assuming they have the same motherboard. Soldering may be involved This is actually an industry standard form factor called LPX. It was pretty common in the mid-late 90's. Olivetti machines are thin on the ground on this side of the pond, a few rebadged AT&T machines notwithstanding. Edit: Ahhh, that Oddball sound card is some Olivetti weirdness. I suspect they did that to recover some real estate on the mother board and use deadspace in the case.

15:07 Not boring me at all! I love this kind of thing, I’ve got tons of old mainboards that would fit right in with some of this stuff. 18:51 An X****! 👌🏻 The AGP variant is not very common, they’re also not the most expensive AGP cards in the world but I’d love to have one in my collection (edited as to not give the reveal away)

I'm not surprised that the lower clocked Ti200 can match or beat the GF2 Ti in higher resolutions and/or 32-bit color, since it has what NVIDIA called Lightspeed Memory Architecture which greatly helped memory bandwidth efficiency. Essentially NV20 had multi-channel pipelined memory addressing, whereas NV15 had basically one large memory bus that could only do one operation at a time. It's an interesting match-up though because SGRAM has some pretty nifty performance enhancements for graphics operations, helping somewhat off-set the GF2 architecture's relative inefficiency. Fun video!

You need to downmix your mic to mono because it's all on the left channel.
