Silver Alicorn posted:because it's there Dual AGP never existed, Voodoo 2 was PCI. It is obsolete, but for Glide supporting games a Voodoo 2 SLi will fuckin' destroy. It's backed by a Geforce 2 GTS in the AGP slot. This system is fuckin' nuts it has two audio cards (One for windows, one DOS) 3 video cards (Voodoo 2 SLi + GF2) two processors. I love it it's the machine an idiot with more money than sense woulda built in tyool 2000 DUAL 933 MHZ PROCESSORS* *literally nothing made at the time for a consumer will ever use the second one lmao Still, the single socket-370 P3 I used fuckin' went up and died so I asked a friend and got this instead. I enjoy playing poo poo like Baldurs Gate downstairs on oldputers sometimes, especially when the weather is absurdly hot. SRQ fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Jun 29, 2017 |

I have a 486 with a dx2 not a dx4 because IT'S SUPPOSED TO EXIST IN 1993 also i yearn to this day to return the simplicity of 98SE and 2K. When the installed programs sheet was empty after an install, and windows came with nothing but the essentials. SRQ fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Jun 29, 2017 |

It was, it's /very/ rare to see a Pentium with a turbo button and often it would just disable L2 cache. The architecture was entirely different and didn't quite allow it as easily. This is also why VLB died- it was locked directly to the 486 bus. Interesting to note that AGP, PCI, and USB all came from the same Intel group that in the early 90s basically looked at PCs and declared it was all loving horse poo poo and had to be fixed- so they did.
