The ultimate DOS gaming computer with Voodoo 5 Videocard Part 1

This is my ultimate DOS gaming computer with Voodoo 5 Videocard, I used this system to play most of my older DOS games and for other programs, that won't run on a NT system. Did a full rebuilt, replaced most of the electrolytic capacitors due to age of system. Custom built the powersupply due to a regular ATX or microATX won't fit into case is a 350w FSP PSU. Modded my voodoo driver so I can play older glide DOS games like carmageddon, works great.

I actually ended up getting a older soundblaster 16 with the Yamaha OPL-3 chip for FM synthesis, builting a slower rig for the older games with two creative 3dfx voodoo 2, so the older glide games works good.

I will look at the card this weekend and let you know.

@RetroPCDOS - Would you mind telling me what chip amplifies the sound from the YMF262(this chip sits just above the YAC512)? There is one particular chip that roughens up the bass notes, and personally, I find this enhances the sound in certain games, especially the Collector's CD-ROM edition of X-Wing, which I think sounds best on those 82C929As. The chip in question is an LF347N, though some 82C929As, like my 82C930, might come with a TL074C chip which doesn't roughen up the bass.

I am going to do that, do love the sound of a true FM Synthesis. Do have a opti 82c929a just have to see if it still works. may just pull the AWE64 altogetheir.
