    You going to hook up the Mister to it? I've got the 14M2E and I love it. Lovely little monitor and awesome picture quality!

    You don't open anything? In the image file box in the RawWrite image posted by Armageus, you click the ellipsis box, select the first image and click write. Thats it.

    Try the GTX 560. They are good XP cards.

    It's difficult to install XP on modern systems as there aren't drivers available for the hardware. That system I posted is running Windows XP SP3 with all native XP drivers. Z87 (or maybe Z97?) is the last chipset, officially supported by XP. Yeah it's still more than capable of running stuff...

    I put this together a while ago. Originally I picked up the parts for this of the MM for my Lad to play some Roblox. He had an upgrade and I thought the parts would be awesome for a XP/W7 build so this is what i built Intel i7 4770K (currently stock :p) 16GB of Kingston Genesis Ram Asus Gryphon...

    Did you try unisound @Retro6. If you can't get sound running with that, then there is something seriously wrong with the card/system. Just need a minimal dos install, a game to test and the unisound driver. Just type unisound, and it will configure the card with the regular A220 I5 D1 P330 and...

    ***The Official Guitar Thread***

    Since I took up the bass in the new year and got a Short Scale, I've been enjoying it immensely. I picked up a long scale (34") Jazz a week ago. It's Harley Benton JB-75 NA. It is lovely, but she is a bit hefty on the weight side. Got myself a nice chunky strap and now getting to grips with it.

    Re-visited my VIA C3 system, as I'd neglected it a bit and it was missing some parts I'd pulled out. I still think its the perfect Windows 98/Dos system IMHO. I put it all back together and tidied all the cables. I managed to find the original SSD that was in this system with all the partitions...

    Tested this monitor out this evening. I'd stored this in the summer house for ages and spotted it today while I was looking for something. The summer house got quite damp over the winter, so I was wasn't sure if this was going to be damaged or something. I bought it in and let it acclimatise to...

    Ahh yeah, that is a really compact case. lack of air flow is going to be the limiting factor with what CPU you can use.

    What case you running? look at the e5800 if its compatible with your board? I run that processor in this case, and it gets a little warm but nothing that slows it down or has any cause for concern. I use a standard Intel 775 copper core cooler.

    I've never had any issues with 512mb Ram with Win98SE. Anything over 512mb can cause issues, but then you just apply rlowes ram patch which sorts it. I've had 2gb and a Xeon CPU in a Win98 system with his patch without issues. That system was stupidly fast! I'm actually interested to try 2 60gb...

    I follow this channel on YouTube called Scrap Computing, and the guy comes up with little projects for retro PC's. He just recently posted a video which could be a great little decive for slowing down CPU's to play older dos games. It uses a PicoPi. Could be a real game changer for CPU's that...

    It will work. ISA is parallel in operation. You just need to remember you have only so many resources you can allocate to devices.

    Thing is with Speed sensitive DOS games, even a Celly 300 is going to be too fast. Unless you start messing with Caches and Multis (which multi's is not an option on the Intel CPU's) then your going to have too fast a system anyways. My current 2 main rigs are a 233mmx which is pretty flexible...

    370 is a bit of a weird socket in my opinion. You can get some nice fast BX S370 boards which has ISA slots for compatibility with ISA sound cards for DOS, but then they move into i810/i815 which majority of boards ditch the ISA slot for PCI. With that you may as well just go Socket 478 with a...
