    Man that period in PC gaming 1998-2000 was like magic to me. I dreamed games at night that i played during the day. After those years i have never felt the same excitement from PC technology or games.

      In many ways i feel the same way. Could see Starcraft gameplay when i closed my eyes, waiting for the school bus😂 Still enjoy modern hardware and games, but its not the same. Thanks for the comment!

      I feel the same way. 1997-2003 was an unforgettable time for me. What I felt emotionally during the further development of the pc hardware and the games has so far remained unmatched for me. For me, this exciting and at the same time happy feeling was and is hardly comparable to today's developments.

      100% agree. 1997 to 2003 was magic. The next time I would feel similarly was when crisis came out. I thought we were seeing something way ahead of its time. Which we were. The next form of magic for me probably came when I bought my Oculus rift s and experienced half-life Alex and beat saber.

      I was thinking of a white matx case, then spray it beige but not many have bays needed. Though I could fake it by printing high res stickers.

    I’m here because Of the recommended page. I’m so happy that I Could discover this channel. Very nice build ! One remark is that you could use the second stick of ram for a dual channel performance, but still very nice build. 3dfx lives on !

    • @infinity2z3r07
      @infinity2z3r07 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't think dual channel was a thing for sdr boards. I think it happened in ddr times. 2000 or so?

    • @paulp9270
      @paulp9270  ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @angieandretti

    Great, now re-build it inside a beige case so that it looks right! I'm doing the same thing right now. Two years ago I built a 1.4GHz P3 Tualatin rig with a Voodoo 5 inside a mostly-modern black Thermaltake case - and it looks good... but it doesn't look "right." I've kept it in a closet while my nice beige machines are on-display for daily use in the living room. Time for this machine to join them!

    Hey Paul I am also trying to do a voodoo 3 windows 98 retro gaming build. I am at the stage where I just want to go back to retro gaming again. Today's tech does not inspire me. Its very expensive. I just need to assemble it. Unreal runs like a dream :)

      @paulp9270  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! Good luck on your build! Its a nice feeling putting together a retro system and see it running old games again. Some of the best games ever (in my opinion) came out between 1993-94 to about 2000. A system like this can play all of them natively👍

  • @mytube9182
    @mytube9182 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Sir, I have a question about building a retro PC quite similar to the one in this video
    My spec. is:-
    CPU: Pentium !!! 1.0GHz (PGA370) / mobo: Soltek SL-65FV+ (VIA Apollo Pro 133) / RAM: Kingston PC-133 2x64Mb
    HDD: emulated 4Gb SD card -> IDE40
    VGA: Voodoo 3 3000 AGP
    Sound: Sound Blaster 16 CT1770 (blank socket) with 4Mb dream wavetable (unlicensed Roland GM samples)
    OS: Windows 98 SE
    My problem is
    With Voodoo 3 3000 AGP as VGA, my PC won't boot; is frozen after the POST screen or Voodoo BIOS. And with Voodoo 3 1000 AGP as alternative, my PC boots and works for a a little while (I can play OpenGL games shortly) then it always freezes.I tried installing cooling fans for both Voodoo 3 cards but nothing changes. I can never make this configuration work for long time, especially when OpenGL is working. And system occasionally freezes before OS boots.
    I also have 2 Voodoo 1 cards; 1 Diamond Monster 3D, 1 APAC Voodoo. With ATI Rage II PCI or SiS 6326 as VGA, Monster 3D freezes the system to black screen when starting a DOS Voodoo game while APAC just garbles the screen and crashes.
    My question is, is my system is too fast for both Voodoo 3 ? or it is the incompatibility of the mobo that had caused the problems. I can blame the speed for Voodoo 1. But I have no idea why both Voodoo 3 cards won't work.

I had that card with an AMD K-6 333 then i moved to AMD Athlon 2600+. Then upgraded to a Geforce 256 DDR. That was the last time i brought a Voodoo Card. Had 3 or 4 of them if you count the V3 2000 pci i got for my old K6 so that friends could come over a play COD and Half-Life mods. (CS, DOD, and others).
