Should I upgrade?

Nod said:
What you need to do is, downgrade. Yes, it might sound "funny", but I feel that you are not appreciating your system anymore, and need to experience something else. So I will lend you my ATI 3D Pro Turbo PC2TV 4MB card. It is PCI (normal not PCI-e), so it will work even on your current system. After using it for a week, you will appreciate your 8800's so much more. You will really thank me for it.

PS: I can even upgrade you gradually by providing a 32MB (:eek:) Nvidia TNT2 for another week of gaming pleasure.

OMG you are truly a genius! :D
 
What is the chances of you still having 2x Voodoo 2 12mb cards that I can SLI with that ATI card? I want to play GL Quake again... The good old days. :D

Indeed. The kids of today have it so easy :D

Wasting so much money on a machine to play games with where he could have invested in a fixed university fund for his children to be! :D:D:D:D:D

Now that you mention it. I still have my Voodoo 1 card. He can use it in between the 3D Pro Turbo and the TNT2 ;)

I'll have to reassemble everything again. I'll try to res my Win98 box for this exercise :cool:

LOL @ Nod, was actually referring to SharkBait. When he gets all those cards from you and he runs his exercises to help him reach clarity in his decision, he should share his experience with us so that we can learn from him. :D:D

Ahh ok :o Still would like to do it. Will have to see if I still have QEMM to boost my base memory.
 
My config.sys - As I remember it...

DEVICE=C:\dos\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\dos\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
FILES=30
STACKS=0,0
BUFFERS=20
DEVICEHIGH=C:\MTMCDAI.SYS /D:123
 
And don't forget to load smartdrv.exe otherwise your machine will be extremely slow :D

Your memory is better than mine :o
QEMM will replace the EMM386.EXE part.
 
Yeah, but I never knew of qemm, so I used emm. Still worked, don't know if qemm worked better tough.

It worked much better. Could give Doom the full 640k it needed to start.
