    Back in 97 or so, a p2450, 256mb ram, tnt2 32mb with 12mb voodoo2s in sli was the holy grail. If I recall. It's been so long. Quake 2 was huge at this time and half- life was soon after.

      The NVDIA Riva TNT 2 was released in 1999, it was (in my opinion) far superior to the Voodoo 2. So no reason to have both, since the rendering can only take place on one. I had the 8MB version with a 4MB S3 Virge or something that could only do software renderer. I remember seeing my older brother put the Diamond Viper 550 TNT based card in his PC and was blown away by the DIRECT3D api renedering in 32bit color. It looked SOOOOOO GOOOOD :P And then later I blew him away with my Matrox Millennium G400 Dual Head. The first time I saw BUMP MAPPING! OMG :P

    I have a very similar system with SLI on the same motherboard. I upgraded the Pentium 2 350 to a Pentium 3 650 to better squeeze the Creative 3D Blaster Voodoo2's 12MB SLI. I replaced the Matrox Millennium G200 with a Riva TNT Asus (Your G400 MAX is a gem).

    I played Dethkarz an insane amount when it first came out and I definitely couldn't crank the settings very high back then. Until it was available on GOG sometime around 2019, it was quite difficult to get a hold of it, my copy having long disappeared. Glad you decided to play it. My CPU back then would have been a K6-III 400, a nice CPU and and rare these days too.

  • @RappinAcoustic
    @RappinAcoustic 10 місяців тому +11

    90's technology progressed super fast. In 98 there was a Pentium III 400Mhz and by 99 the 600Mhz version was released. That's a 50% increase in performance in a year. Such up pick would never be seen today.

    • @thelbtlover
      @thelbtlover 7 місяців тому

      Yeah the M1 was the most exciting increase in performance we've seen recently. Unfortunately being tied to Mac hardware killed the excitement but at least it kicked Intel and AMD in the butt and forced them to actually innovate and now we have much better CPUs. If you compare something like the i7-8650U to the i7-1355U the performance has more than doubled and battery life is so much better.

    Nice video. It brought back some nice memories. So I actually owned the Imeron Intensor Chair back in the day. It was pretty decent but had one flaw - that flaw was that it could only support a maximum weight of maybe 180 pounds, which resulted the the chair literally collapsing under me. That said, I got some enjoyment out of it. Now the price I paid was no where near $600 US. I believe I paid $300 - $350 at Costco in late 1999. I remember playing a lot of Mechwarrior 3 at the time. The opening sequence was pretty awesome while sitting in the chair. I also rocked (2) Monster 3D II 8MB 3D cards run in SLI, but was not as impressed by that setup. I also purchased the Altec Lansing ADA 305 USB speaker/subwoofer system - and can confirm that it also sounded great with Diamond Multimedia Monster Sound A3D sound card. As for the SLI setup issue, the problem probably exists because the two video cards are not exactly the same. Take one card out and check to see if the drop down shows up. If it does show up, then try the other card alone to see if it shows up in the drop down. Then see if you can trade one card for an exact match of the other.

    as an avid gamer, its clear to understand why only the richest people played on PC back in the 90s. I was born in 82, so i know that era very well. my first personal computer i bought with my money was shortly after this time and it was a glorious EMachines PC that played some games but was otherwise a dog. i think i paid close to 1000 dollars for just the PC as well.
    for reference, this AREA 51 pc in 2023 dollars is a 7000 dollar setup. a lot has changed in 25 years definitely. i dont even think you could spend 7000 for the best of the best in todays technology for a setup similar to this. unreal and good video. thanks

Can't imagine getting over double a speed upgrade today! (sadly).

    You can probably revive that Matrox G200 by reflashing the BIOS. Those cards had flash memory instead of an EPROM and are notorious for having BIOS bit rot. There's a floppy image out there that you can boot from and having it automatically flash the card. If it doesn't boot with just the Matrox card installed, you can install a PCI card along side it. If it can't detect the Matrox card, you can try putting the PCI card in a different slot. Hope this helps!

    I was a little late to the late 90s PC Gaming Scene, but when my family got the Compaq Presario 7000 Series sometime in 2000-2001, it was a game changer. It came with ME (later upgraded to XP), but specs were like - Pentium 3 @ 1 GHz, 128MB RAM (later upgraded to 512 for XP, I think), and I can't remember how much Video RAM.
    It was a great choice because it allowed me to enjoy the late 90s games and the future games as well (Believe it or not, the very last game I played on it was the HL2 Demo, which I don't even know how it managed, it didn't have a dedicated GPU, as far as I'm aware of).

    That's $7100 in today's money :)
    Screamer Rally looked really chappy, are you sure it wasn't running in Software mode?
    There being no performance difference between Voodoo 2 SLI & the Matrox graphics is ... really weird. Something's off there.

    I think the V2 cards have different memory timings, A-Trend (if correct version) is faster 110Mhz/22ns while STB is only 100Mhz and 25ns...

    A Matrox Millennium to go with 2 Voodoo 2's, I always wanted to do that setup with those SLI Voodoo2's. Instead I went with a Matrox G200, which had issues, and by the time I could fix it, I switched to NVidia. Should have gone with the best sound card ever made, AWE64 Gold.

    also want to add, the timeframe that this PC was relevant was so short, and at that cost...that was nuts to pay that unless you could just flush it down the toilet.
    kids these days flip when they dont get 100fps at 1440 with max settings. i wanna just tell them to sit the f down lol

    going to the end of that decade the v2 became obsolete . it was a great addon for the time being . but in a p3 system 500+ or athlon , a geforce ddr was something else .

    You should have cleaned the pins on the memory. You arranged the cards wrongly, the matrox will heat up, it's better to put the modem in the last ISA slot and move all the cards down. Cable management is horrible...
