But that can recording to Western Digital and other harddrive manufacters be resolved downloading one of their programs which should write some extra stuff into bios which allows it to see 30gb discs! The problem is the motherboard which sometimes has a limitation on 8,4gb. Ive searched arround alot arround the net regarding hdd barrier in windows 95 and found out that windows 95 officially supports disks up to 30gb. Is there any visible difference in sound quality? Is there any big difference from Awe32 and Awe64? Sound to me that Awe64 is a never and (better?) soundcard. This made me alot wiser!Ī Voodoo 3 card sound great, I just thougt that a card with 16mb memory would be to fast for many of the oldest dos games but it seems Im wrong! Note that Windows itself doesn't have to be installed on C:, just the boot files. However, if you go with Win98, I still suggest that your boot partition (C:) is FAT16, just in case some really nasty DOS games don't handle FAT32 well (I've seen that happen with one game at least - Lemmings 2). It's more stable and supports FAT32 and larger partition. If you want to utilize Windows too, try Win98SE. If you're gonna play DOS games strictly - make it MS-DOS 6.22, format your hard disk to 4 FAT16 partitions of 2GB each, and have fun. I'm just not sure you need it, because how much space can old games take? Of course, with Win98 you can use FAT32 (DOS games wouldn't mind, I presume) and have partitions as big as you want. Windows 98 has no such limit, but remember that FAT16 partitions are still limited to 2GB each.
Windows 95 may go a bit over that limit, I'm not sure. Not sure about the limit of the BIOS, it might depend on the motherboard.
Compatible with every DOS game out there, compatible with Windows, and while they don't sound as good as today's cards and don't provide surround effects, all these things would be virtually useless anyway on such an old machine. My suggestion - one of the original Creative ISA Plug-n-Play cards, like SB16, AWE32 or AWE64. PCI cards sometimes don't provide backwards compatibility, even if they should according to specs. I played all the 3D games you mentioned with the Voodoo perfectly, but my machine was a bit more powerful than the P200 - K6 A 1MB card will probably choke on high resolutions.ģ. However, the CPU may bottleneck a bit, I'm not sure. With the aforementioned Voodoo, you should have no problems.
Mobos for Pentium PCs may not feature AGP slots, but there are PCI versions of that card as well.Ģ. And if you are gonna put Win95 on the PC and play some Windows games, like GTA, Blood 2, you'll DEFINITELY notice the difference. It's definitely an overkill for DOS games, since DOS games won't be able to utilize the 3dfx features, but if you can't find an older card that this, it's excellent. A kickass card that's 100% compatible with VESA (onboard, no drivers needed) and DOS games is 3dfx Voodoo 3000 (with 16MB of RAM). Is there any size limitation of the startup disk on a p200 win 95?ġ. Is this correct? If yes, the limitation is 30gb per drive if Im not mistaken and that means that I can use multiply of 30gb drives like 2*30gb?ĥ. Does anyone know the hdd size limitation for computers like this one? I will have windows 95 and saw somewhere that it had a size limitation of 30gb. Should I get an ISA soundcard or stick with pci? Ive read that ISA gives the "best" sound on old dos games but how does it work and sound with "never" games like Quake and Carmageddon 2?Ĥ. Is it any card that I should be aware of which doesnt has this support?ģ. Vesa support is really important on the graphic card to play games like Redneck Rampage, Duke Nukem in the best resolution. Is it any good or is it anyone else I should buy?Ģ. What's the best graphic card I can get? Ive read about one called matrox millenium something with 4mb vram. I will buy a pentium 200mhz computer to play old games on.ġ. Hello everybody, I have some different questions I really would appreciate to get answered!
