    Wedge, I just re-read this post. I've never use a ATI's ALL-IN-WONDER card before, but it's been my experence if you use a really poweriful Graphic card with a not so poweriful monitor you will get a performance hit. If your monitor can't handle your graphic card's refresh rate you will see it...

    You wouldn't have both of these card on one system. It makes no sense. Voodoo 1 and 2 cards are 3d cards only. You need a 2d card with them. Voodoo 3/4/5 are 2d/3d cards they provide the glide FX and 2d. Now you can have two Voodoo 2 cards connected together via their SLI ports and one...

    Need help please.

    Silver, P1 can only be played in DOS. You'll need to make a bootdisk. If you want our help making one then post your c:\autoexec.bat, c:\config.sys, and c:\windows\dosstart.bat. Exactly which Yahama Sound card do you have? What mouse and graphic card do you have?

    Happy, check out this auction. The seller has two of them listed. He state the are the Mpeg version. Sent him a email asking him if they are to two sided version. It's looks to the one sided version has a picture of the actors on it. The two sided version only has the logo...

    It looks like the one sided version. Will it play correctly? Considering Happy's problem with his one-sided version and what TC said about it. I would be a little weary to buy it.:confused:

    I heard about it but never seen the one sided DVD version. I got my copy with the CL Encore 5x.

    I am using Creative's but Sigma's should work. The Drx3/Hollywood cards don't like sharing IRQ. The way MS is using ACPI you may have more devices share a single IRQ than you should. My Dxr3 is only sharing with on other device. I remember the first time I setup a Win2000 machine. I freak out, 8...

    I don't remember is the TNT2 M64 a 2d/3d card? If it is you just need to add the Voodoo 2 card to you systems with it. The Voodoo 2 is a 3d only card. The Voodoo 3/4/5 had limited OpenGL support. The problem running these games using the F8 is that each of this games have there own memory...

    Yes you'll want a Voodoo 2 card over your Canopus card. (I thought you had a Voodoo 2 version of this card.) If you connect two Voodoo 2 cards together via the SLI port you get a higher resolution and better refresh rate. The only reason to use Voodoo 2 cards over the Voodoo 3/4/5 cards is...

    I have a Drx3 card and WC4 DVD plays beautifully on it. I replace my Dxr2 with a Drx3 card. It running much better then the Dxr2 card. I just install XP Pro with the XP beta driver (sigma designs writes the drivers for both cards. Drx3 is the hollywood card.) WC4 DVD plays beautifully. Happy...

    Yes, the ATI's ALL-IN-WONDER card will give you TV-IN/OUT. I would go with your Canopus Pure3D and ATI's ALL-IN-WONDER with a Drx3 card. Go to www.ati.com to learn more about ATI's ALL-IN-WONDER card. Maybe someone knows of another way to go. Also check out http://www.voodoofiles.com/ for...

    SB 16 can play midi. We just need to add some setting to the autoexec.bat to enable it. Your Canopus is a Voodoo 2 card. Your need two them to get 800x600. You'll also need a third graphic card to get 2D graphic. With a voodoo 4/5 card you'll get better performance, higher resolution and they...

    All we have at work Compaq PCs and Servers. They do have BIOS. If they don't then I must magicly create this interface. I build Win2000 servers all the time. It's what I do for a living. I support over two hundred servers (Win2000, Novell and Unix). Compaq servers are so easy to setup and...

    It's really depends on what you really want to do. If you only really want to play the DOS games a low-end Pentium do. If you want to play all WC games include WC4 DVD then you'll a DVD player. Here's what I recommend with only WC games in mind. DOS machine: 486 DX 66mhz to P166. 16-32 MB...

    LOAF, one question. Does this system needs to play WC4 DVD?

    Compaq's do have a BIOS. They design their PC's with the assumption that the enduser doesn't know what they are doing. If you know how to service a Compaq you can get into it's BIOS. This is why companys like Compaq. If you can't get into the BIOS you can screw thing up. Compaq is the number...
